  • Description

Eastern Visayas, situated in the Philippines’ typhoon belt, stands as a vivid example of the pressing need for climate resilience and an accelerated energy transition.

Despite its rich renewable energy potential, the region faces significant barriers in its path to inclusive, sustainable, and 1.5-degree compatible development due to its extreme vulnerability to climate-induced disasters and coal-based power–the latter being a result of power purchase agreements.
