Climate & Energy

We are in a climate emergency. Fossil fuels like oil, coal and gas are heating up the planet, causing sea levels to rise and making droughts, floods and typhoons more frequent and extreme. The science is clear: we must get off fossil fuels and transition to renewable energy.

Forests

Forests of Southeast Asia sustain not only incredible biodiversity but also millions of people, providing essential resources such as food, medicine, and shelter. These forests face severe threats from logging, agricultural expansion, and mining, exacerbated by systems that benefit the wealthy at the expense of nature and local communities. Protecting forests through advocating Indigenous rights, promoting sustainable practices, and enforcing strict environmental laws is vital to combat climate change.

Oceans

Our oceans are vital, providing half the oxygen we breathe and playing a crucial role in climate regulation. They are a source of food for billions and home to diverse and spectacular marine life. However, pollution, overfishing, and industrial exploitation threaten these essential ecosystems.

We envision thriving oceans that sustain and protect those who depend on them. Our mission is to preserve marine ecosystems through sustainable practices and international agreements, ensuring oceans are safeguarded for future generations. By creating marine sanctuaries and combating destructive activities, we aim to restore and protect the oceans’ health and resilience​

The Plastic Crisis and Air Pollution

Imagine a world where our land, sky, oceans, and waterways are teeming with vibrant life. A world where the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the food we eat are pure and free from toxic pollution.

Together with people and communities across Southeast Asia, we are embracing sustainable alternatives and innovative solutions to reduce pollution, whilst holding corporations and governments accountable, exposing their greenwashing tactics, and pushing for essential changes.
