TELL THE ASIAN DEVELOPMENT BANK (ADB):

Flip The Switch

Public financial institutions like the ADB play a crucial role in driving resources for developing nations to reduce their reliance on fossil fuels and meet the goals of the Paris Agreement.

The ADB should focus on funding renewable energy projects and providing technical assistance to help countries overcome challenges in transitioning to a low-carbon economy. Yet, it sometimes includes ineffective, false solutions to its projects.

Tell the ADB to drive the shift towards a just energy transition in Asia.

Power up a just energy transition in Asia!

The Asian Development Bank (ADB) can play a vital role in promoting an equitable shift to cleaner, greener energy for the region. This can be achieved by actively supporting projects and initiatives that reduce greenhouse gas emissions and enhance climate resilience for communities.

Let's urge the ADB to prioritize funding for renewable energy sources, moving away from dangerous fossil fuels and accelerating the transition to a safe and sustainable energy future in Asia.

OUR DEMANDS

  1. Full exclusion of harmful energy projects: Ensure that all future energy projects funded by the ADB exclude harmful ‘energy solutions’, including dams, nuclear, waste-to-energy, and fossil gas. Prioritize investments in renewable energy.
  2. Transparent, accountable, and equitable investments: Implement transparent and accountable investment practices, including the disclosure of all investments in energy projects, taking into account its social and ecological impacts.
  3. Grants not loans: Ensure that the ADB prioritizes grants over loans for financing energy transition projects.
  4. Community consultation and consent: Prioritize community consultation and consent in all energy projects, ensuring that local communities are involved in decision-making processes and that their rights and livelihoods are protected.
