The East Asia Climate Leadership Web Workshops

2018 is the most important year for local climate action after Paris Agreement, since Global Climate Action Summit will gather local leaders from around the world to demonstrate their approaches toward rising climate. Science tells us that it is caused by global warming that comes from greenhouse gasses emitted mostly by fossil-fuel projects that are also destroying the lives and livelihood of people in the places that hosts them. We believe that from extraction to combustion fossil-fuel development has brought the greatest impacts on the people that have benefited the least from its development and more so are impacted the most by climate change.

This year in 2018, we will join hands with Fossil Free East Asia Network members to build a powerful movement of citizens around the region working to build a future that’s free from the destructive impacts of climate change, free from the addition of fossil fuel usage and free from the massive, out-of-control corporations that caused it.

City by city, town by town, we’re ending the age of fossil fuels and building a world of community-led renewable energy. With the stories and voices collected across the region, #FrontlinesHeroes and #VulunerableVoices, will be as our respond to the climate crisis as unified voice fighting for the future of humankind toward a world no longer conflicting environment and economy, but for a safe, secure and sustainable future for us and the generations to come.
