Last August 11, The Climate Reality Project Philippines, in partnership with the Department of Energy (DOE), held the final leg of Choosing Renewables: Information Campaign on the Green Energy Option Program and Other Voluntary Renewable Energy Mechanisms, at Butuan City, Agusan del Norte.
Last July 29, The Climate Reality Project Philippines, in partnership with the Department of Energy (DOE), gathered energy stakeholders in Lapu-Lapu City, Cebu, for a forum entitled Choosing Renewables: Information Campaign on the Green Energy Option Program and Other Voluntary Renewable Energy Mechanisms.
Speakers included officials from the Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC), the Department of Economy, Planning, and Development Region 7 – Central Visayas (DepDEV), the Independent Electricity Market Operators of the Philippines (IEMOP); and First Gen Corporation. Essential to the discussions were their insights and expertise on the many pathways consumers can take to transition to RE.
Every Filipino family wants energy security, affordable electricity, and safe communities. President Marcos Jr.’s 2026 SONA spoke to these hopes. The Climate Reality Project Philippines recognizes the administration’s efforts to respond to the energy crisis, improve public transport, and strengthen disaster preparedness. But in a country pummeled by climate impacts, no explicit mention of the climate crisis and climate commitments was made.
In the grip of a struggling energy system and deepening climate threats, The Climate Reality Project Philippines gathered young leaders from across the country last July 7-9 for the first ever edition of REalTalk Youth— a hands-on workshop that honed their skills to develop community-based renewable energy (RE) programs.
At the ASEAN for the Peoples Week 2026 in Cebu, The Climate Reality Project Philippines joined civil society organizations, policymakers, and community leaders in advancing a critical regional message; that ASEAN’s energy transition must be rooted in climate diplomacy, regional solidarity, and people-centred resilience.
