Grupong APMDD, nagkilos-protesta para tutulan ang paggamit ng fossil fuel
Nagsagawa ng lightning rally sa harap ng tanggapan ng Asian Development Bank sa Mandaluyong City ang grupong Asian Peoples’ Movement on Debt and Development (APMDD).
Ipinoprotesta ng grupo ang paggamit ng fossil fuel sa iba’t ibang bahagi ng mundo.
Ginawa ng grupo ang kilos-protesta kasabay ng virtual meeting ng policymakers, corporations, public financial institutions, at aid organizations sa 2022 Asia Clean Energy Forum (ACEF).
Ayon kay Lidy Nacpil, coordinator ng APMDD, sa halip na fossil fuel, mas makabubuting gumamit ng low-carbon energy transition sa Asia and the Pacific.
“We demand a just transition to 100% renewable energy before 2050. This will involvecommitment from stakeholders like ACEF to align financing and policies to phase out fossil fuels and enable the accelerated deployment of renewable technologies,” pahayag ni Nacpil.
Sinabi pa ni Nacpil na malawak nang ginagamit sa buong mundo ang renewable technologies.
Maasahan na rin aniya ang wind at solar projects.
“It is already possible for energy for electricity, transport, building heating or cooling, and industry to be supplied reliably with 100% renewable energy. The ADB must go beyond hollow pledges for low carbon transition in Asia-Pacific and immediately end all forms of support for all fossil fuel projects, not just coal, and implement rapid, just and equitable phaseout of fossil fuels and transition to clean energy,” pahayag ni Nacpil.
