Manila, Philippines — June 2, 2025 — The Confederation of Circular Economy Club of the Philippines (CCECP) proudly participated in the Asia Clean Energy Forum (ACEF) 2025, a regional event hosted by the Asian Development Bank (ADB) aimed at accelerating clean energy transitions across the Asia-Pacific region.

CCECP’s involvement in ACEF 2025 underscores its commitment to empowering communities, promoting sustainable practices, and advancing climate justice through education, advocacy, and strategic collaboration. As global attention intensifies on the Asia-Pacific’s role in the energy transition, the presence of organizations like CCECP is vital in shaping inclusive and resilient energy futures.

“For CCECP, participating in ACEF is more than just representation—it’s about catalyzing real change. We are here to amplify grassroots voices, champion circular economy strategies, and contribute to policy dialogues that impact the next generation,” said Martsu Ressan Ladia, CCECP’s incumbent Chairman.

Since its inception, ACEF has served as a crucial platform for clean energy innovation, bringing together policymakers, industry leaders, development professionals, and civil society to exchange ideas and forge partnerships. This year’s forum continues that legacy, emphasizing actionable solutions and inclusive approaches to sustainability.

CCECP’s mission aligns with ACEF’s core goals—both seek to build a future that is cleaner, fairer, and more sustainable. By integrating circular economy principles into the energy and climate discourse, CCECP hopes to inspire more localized solutions that address both environmental and socio-economic challenges in the Philippines and beyond. As the climate crisis demands urgent and united action, CCECP reaffirms its dedication to creating lasting impact—not only through high-level engagement but also through tangible, community-driven projects that pave the way for a just and regenerative future.
