REalTalk in Southeast Asia aims to strengthen regional cooperation among youth-led energy organizations to foster energy security across Southeast Asia. Participants will develop campaign narratives for a just renewable energy transition, supported by a communication plan that promotes a clean and sustainable energy future for the region.
Finance holds the key to unlocking progress to ambitious climate action. By reforming how finance flows globally, we can invest more in clean energy, help developing countries adapt, and support nations hit hard by climate disasters. The World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) are key players in this global financial reform.
We summarized the key achievements and missed opportunities at the recently concluded UN climate change summit and what do they tell us about the challenges ahead.
Companies that have switched to renewable energy through the Green Energy Option Program (GEOP) attested that they have generated significant savings in energy costs, during the webinar “100% Renewable Energy Within Reach: Empowering Entities through the Green Energy Option Program” held online on 11 November 2022.
Availing the Department of Energy’s (DOE) Green Energy Option Program (GEOP) will bring significant savings on the electricity costs of business enterprises, a representative of Vita Tropic Ice Company, Inc. said during The Climate Reality Project Philippines’ energy literacy and movement-building training session held earlier this month.
Vita Tropic is among the few and first GEOP switchers in the country. The GEOP is a new mechanism implemented by the DOE that allows electricity end-users with an average 100kW or above to source their electricity from renewable energy sources.
Energy experts and climate advocates asserted that liquefied natural gas (LNG) or fossil gas is not clean and sustainable and is not seen to lower electricity rates in the Philippines, much more so help limit global warming and achieve climate targets.
