Clean Energy

A Greenpeace volunteer on top of a wind turbine in Ilocos Norte, around 500 kilometers north of Manila. The 25 megawatt wind farm owned and operated by Danish firm Northwind, is the first of its kind in Southeast Asia. According to Greenpeace and the Global Wind Energy Council, the Philippines is poised to become the leading wind power producer in Southeast Asia with potential of up 70,000 MW of clean renewable energy from wind. The value of the global market for wind turbines is predicted to expand from the current 8 billion euros to an 80 billion euro market by 2020.

The solution for climate change is a clean energy revolution. It will pave the way for cleaner energy and a safe environment for everyone.

 

The solution for climate change is a clean energy revolution. It will pave the way for cleaner energy and a safe environment for everyone.

 

A world using renewable energy sources would be much more varied than the one we live in at the moment. There would certainly be less pollution and less danger of large scale accidents or disasters. We can hope that a more stable source of energy would help lead to a more stable society, and a happier life for us all. So, be a part of the revolution. Clean Energy NOW!

 

Climate change will pose significant stress and challenges in the Asian region.  Asia has more than 60% of the world's population.  Natural resources therefore are already under stress and the resilience of many Asian countries to climate change is poor. Several countries are socio-economically dependent on natural resources such as water, forests, grassland and fisheries.

 

The only way that we can stop the worst effects of climate change in Asia is by using less energy and by making sure that the energy that we do need comes from clean, renewable sources.

 

Renewable energy has the potential to meet our energy needs many times over. At present, we get less than 1% of our electricity from the wind, ocean and sun.

Greenpeace ends 27 hour dramatic non violent direct action in Riau

Greenpeace today ended a 26-hour dramatic non-violent direct action at the loading facility of Sinar Mas subsidiary Asia Pulp and Paper (APP) owned pulp and paper mill. Sinar Mas has been tagged by the group as a leading forest and climate destroyer in Indonesia. The activity, undertaken by activists from 11 different nationalities, including Indonesia and the USA successfully focused international attention on the critical role that President Yudhoyono and other world Heads of State can play in ending tropical deforestation to avert climate chaos.

12 Days left to avert climate chaos

Twelve days before the critical UN Copenhagen Climate Summit, today Greenpeace activists shut down the export facilities of a major pulp mill operated by Sinar Mas owned pulp and paper company APP in the heart of Indonesia's rainforests. Sinar Mas is a leading driver of global climate change due to its widespread role in forest destruction.

Climate destroyer shut down by activists in Indonesian rainforest ahead of Copenhagen Climate Summit

With just 12 days before the critical UN Copenhagen Climate Summit, we are taking direct action again today - blocking one of the world's largest pulp mills, in the heart of Indonesia's rainforests. The export facilities have been shutdown by our activists for 9 hours already. Most of the them have been taken away by police but Frank (Germany), Jetske (Netherlands), Alien (Indonesia) and Joel (Philippines) are still holding on.
