Climate advocates gathered outside the Japan Embassy in Pasay City on October 10, 2024, demanding action from the newly-installed Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba to phase out fossil fuel investments in Asia.
The activists carried powerful placards, urging, “Shigeru Ishiba: withdraw all support for fossil fuel projects in Asia!” and “ASEAN: Reject Japan’s promotion of fossil gas and false solutions!”
Similar protests were also held in Indonesia and Thailand, showcasing widespread regional discontent.
