350 Asia
Communities Powering A Just Energy Future
RE-IMAGINE ASIA
What if the world's biggest continent was powered by the sun, the wind, and the people?
For billions of Asians, the climate crisis isn’t some distant threat–it’s already here.
Heat waves, droughts, and typhoons disrupt our lives with increasing intensity.
Whether it’s death and destruction, vanishing livelihoods, or food insecurity–the climate toll is mounting.
Despite this urgency, we’re still relying on oil and gas.
With a dirty energy sector accounting for more than 75% of Asia’s emissions, we’re heating up the planet–instead of cooling it down.
But what if we met people's needs with community-centered renewable energy?
Imagine lower costs of living and affordable energy for all.
Imagine communities that can withstand the worst impacts of climate change. Imagine giving future generations the most precious gift of all:
a better planet.

Asia stands at the crossroads of increasing climate vulnerability and an unprecedented opportunity to transition to renewable energy. At the heart of this shift are communities, where climate solutions are born, shaped by local wisdom and powered by collective action.
Join us as we reimagine Asia’s energy future while the world anticipates this year’s crucial climate talks (COP30) in Brazil. Through organizing grassroots movements, sharing success stories of community-led renewables, and challenging fossil fuel financing, we we will show our leaders what we want: affordable energy, thriving communities, and a safe and livable planet for all!
How Do We REImagine Asia
Change doesn’t need permission – only our courage to reimagine.
powered by people, rooted in justice
- REALIZE: Local communities can break fossil fuel dominance through renewable energy cooperatives, sustainable transport, and climate resilience – powered by grassroots action and local expertise. We won’t wait for leaders to catch up – our power is already in our hands.
- REIMAGINE: Community renewables are already working – creating jobs, building resilience, improving lives. When communities share their wins, others replicate them. We will defeat corporate-driven narratives with our own stories of hope.
- REINFORCE: With our collective power and proven solutions, we will push policymakers to end fossil fuel financing and prioritize decentralized, community-led renewable energy. We will show our leaders what’s possible: a safe and livable planet powered by the sun, the wind, and the people.
