The Philippine transition to electric mobility has taken another step forward, as the Global Environment Facility-funded UNIDO-DTI-BOI e-mobility ASAP Project and the Philippine Economic Zone Authority (PEZA) formalized a p

Electric vehicles (EVs) are becoming an increasingly familiar sight in Philippine cities. Taking one on a 430-kilometer, multi-island trip, however, is a different proposition altogether.  

For 25 years, Clean Air Asia has been at the forefront of advancing clean air solutions across Asia, working alongside partners and communities across the region.

This was the message shared by the GEF-funded DTI-BOI-UNIDO e-mobility ASAP Project at the Asia and the Pacific Transport Forum, during a session “From Ideas to Impact — Innovations and Private Sector Engagement”, highlighting practical transport solutions that are helping translate national prio

The session “People-Centered Solutions: Making Inclusive Urban Planning Work for Clean Air and Climate Action” during the Better Air Quality Conference (BAQ) 2026) held in Bangkok, Thailand last March 2026 brought this question into focus, moving beyond theory and into real, lived experi

The activity followed two pre-planned routes from the United Nations Conference Center (UNCC) to a café in Ban Phan Thom, allowing participants to capture variations in air quality across different urban environments.

Held at Nascent’s research laboratory in Quezon City, the Focus Group Discussion (FGD) brought together representatives from government, industry, academe, development partners, and the private sector to examine how the Philippines can prepare for the growing use of batteries in electric vehicles
