The Asia Clean Energy Forum (ACEF) 2024 hosted by the Asian Development Bank (ADB) is underway amid escalating climate challenges and economic pressures across low and middle-income countries in the region.
This year's forum, however, is drawing significant criticism from organizations such as Alyansa Tigil Mina (ATM), Asian Peoples Movement on Debt and Development (APMDD), Center for Ecology and Development (CEED), Coalition for Human Rights Development (CHRD), EcoWaste Coalition, Freedom from Debt Coalition, Global Alliance for Incinerator Alternatives (GAIA), and others, who joined forces in a forum in Quezon City Monday, June 3. These groups argued that the ACEF is more focused on advancing corporate interests than addressing the urgent need for equitable and sustainable climate solutions.
