The paper published in partnership with the Friedrich Ebert Stiftung Philippines, looks into the Philippine Energy Plan 2020-2040 and how it fairs with the goal of limiting global temperature increase to 1.5° and below and proposed recommendations on how the country’s power and electricity sector can be aligned to this climate goal. CREST released this infographic to visually summarize the content of the paper.

Having adequate lighting is essential for every Filipino. A source of light, especially at night, increases security and protection, particularly for women, children, and vulnerable members of the family. Lighting also extends social and economic activities in the community. It is, therefore, important that lighting devices be safe and not cause harm to public health and the environment.

Lighting is one of the most important devices in homes, buildings and learning facilities. The provision of lighting allows us to extend our social and economic activities. It offers protection and security to individuals and families. However lighting devices are not created equal.
