We call on Japan to stop funding fossil fuel and promoting false solutions, such as carbon capture, hydrogen and ammonia co-firing. Stop supporting fossil fuel dependence in Asia and derailing the transition to clean energy! 4/4

The Japan-funded Batangas plants have been causing health problems to the communities living there. Despite this, Japan still wants to expand fossil gas in the Philippines #DontGasAsia#StopJapanFossilFuelObsession#FossilFreeJapan
Japan envisions false solutions as key pillars to prop up their fossil fuel financing. Coupled with carbon capture, building more gas plants is packaged as 'good for the environment.' In reality, carbon capture is inefficient, costly & not clean #FossilFreeJapan#DontGasAsia
Philippine climate groups held a mobilization to call out Japan on its "AZEC diplomacy" on the occasion of Japan PM Shigeru Ishiba's state visit to PH. #NoToAZEC for promoting fossil fuels & false solutions! โฝ๐ฅโ ๏ธ #DontGasAsia#FossilFreeJapan#EndFossilFuels
The Asian Peoplesโ Movement on Debt and Development (APMDD), a regional alliance of social justice movements, holds a protest rally in front of the Mendiola Peace Arch in Manila on Tuesday, April 29, calling on Japan to end its support for fossil fuels.
The demonstration coincides with the visit of Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba, who is in the Philippines from April 29 to 30. Civil society organizations raise concerns over the Japan-led Asia Zero Emissions Community (AZEC), which they criticize as a โgreenwashingโ initiative that could undermine the regionโs transition to clean energy. | via Maria Tan, ABS-CBN News
