People-Powered Energy Transition: Community Initiatives in Asia’s New Climate Economy

People-Powered Energy Transition: Community Initiatives in Asia’s New Climate Economy is a visual storytelling exhibition that brings together stories from the Philippines and China that demonstrate how people are shaping a new climate economy through courage, resilience, and collective action. While each story unfolds in a different context, they are united by the belief that meaningful transformation begins with people. Bringing together stories from the Philippines and China, the exhibition shows how communities, workers, local leaders, and young people are navigating change and shaping new possibilities in the climate economy. In Barangay Bicos, Nueva Ecija, Philippines, local leadership and community action demonstrate how communities can take steps toward more affordable and accessible renewable energy, while also confronting the financial and institutional challenges that come with making the transition. In Shanxi, communities are navigating the complex transition beyond coal, revealing both the challenges and opportunities of building new livelihoods and a more sustainable future. Through the Future Renewable Energy Engineer (FREE) Program, young Filipinos are preparing to become the next generation of renewable energy leaders, showing that investing in people is essential to sustaining the transition for decades to come. Through photographs, short films, personal stories, and interactive experiences, the exhibition brings these journeys to life. The photo storytelling installations offer glimpses into communities and people experiencing transition firsthand, while short film screenings allow visitors to hear directly from those at the heart of these stories. Together, the stories reveal that the energy transition is a process shaped by people's choices, aspirations, resilience, and ability to adapt. These are ultimately stories of hope and transformation. They show what becomes possible when communities are empowered to act, when people are given opportunities to build new livelihoods and skills, and when investments in today's young people are sustained for the future. The exhibition invites visitors to reflect on their own role in shaping a new climate economy and to see that a just and sustainable future is not built by technology alone, but by the people who imagine it, shape it, and make it possible.

Smart Transfarmer

This hands-on workshop invites everyone to explore how technology, traditional farming knowledge, and creativity can come together to shape the future of food in a changing climate. Through a learning journey, participants move from the field to the digital world and back again: learning alongside experienced farmers, building an open-source FarmBot, coding automated planting and watering systems, experimenting with AI-powered plant identification, and finally harvesting and sharing what they have grown. Presented as a live, participatory experience at Bangkok Climate Action Week, the workshop inspires people how we can transform from technology end-users into makers and problem-solvers. By connecting digital skills with food, farming, and real-world climate challenges, it demonstrates how accessible technology can become a tool for climate action, community resilience, and a new generation of agricultural innovation.

Unlocking Her Climate Capital - Financing women-led climate solutions

What if the women building climate solutions weren’t seen as risky—but as the investment opportunity? Across South and Southeast Asia, women are building businesses that strengthen communities and respond to climate challenges. Yet too many struggle to access the finance, markets, networks, and policies needed to scale. This session brings together entrepreneurs, investors, policymakers and ecosystem leaders to ask a critical question: How do we de-risk the entrepreneur, de-risk the investment, and unlock the opportunity? Expect bold perspectives, practical solutions, and young women’s voices on the future of green jobs and climate entrepreneurship. Together, we will explore how catalytic capital, blended finance, markets and smarter policy can turn women-led climate solutions into scalable engines of inclusive climate action.

MAIN STAGE | Day 1 | A Tantalizing Prospect

This session explores the promise and tantalizing possibility of new approaches to economics that put people and planet first. It considers how prevailing economic systems fail us and what ‘better’ looks like. It invites the public to ponder: - What if investing in people & nature is the biggest economic opportunity of our time? - What if our economies nurtured rather than exploited people and nature? - What if economics were about nurturing abundance and wellbeing rather than managing scarcity? - How would we rethink value, wealth, metrics of success? Each evening on the main stage, we feature the following: 🎭 Art & Culture Performance (15 min) A showcase celebrating Thailand's Climate Story — 7 Regions, 1 Action. Embracing local wisdom and modern creativity. 📋 BKKCAW recap of the day (15 min) Key highlights, moments and takeaways from today's BKKCAW sessions across the city. 💬 Q&A (10 min) Your questions answered by today's speakers and programme team. 🌀 Theme Wrap-Up (10 min) Reflecting on today's panel discussions and a preview of what's coming tomorrow. 🎵 Climate Concert (1 Hour) Music, art and community energy to close the evening, where sound and culture meet climate action.

Advancing Distributed Energy Resource (DER) Integration in Thailand: Policy Perspectives and International Experience

Thailand’s power system is evolving as rooftop solar and electric vehicles begin to shape electricity flows more visibly across the grid. As these distributed energy resources (DER) and others continue to expand, policymakers, regulators, and utilities are increasingly considering how planning, governance, and institutional coordination can adapt to support their effective integration. To help advance this conversation, the Clean, Affordable and Secure Energy for Southeast Asia (CASE) project will convene a policy dialogue to present key findings from its forthcoming policy brief, drawing on recent stakeholder consultations and analysis of Thailand’s emerging DER challenges and opportunities to help inform policy action. The event will bring together Thai energy sector institutions and international experts to explore practical approaches for strengthening DER planning, governance, and coordination. Participants will hear perspectives from Germany, Australia, and Pakistan, join a moderated panel discussion on lessons relevant to Thailand, and engage in a facilitated exchange aimed at surfacing upcoming priorities for Thai stakeholders. Designed as a solutions‑focused dialogue, the session aims to support shared understanding and informed discussion on how Thailand can advance effective DER integration in its evolving power system.

Building the Backbone of ASEAN’s Energy Transition: Grid Readiness, Investment, and Regional Integration

Southeast Asia stands at a defining inflection point in its energy transition. Under the ASEAN Plan of Action for Energy Cooperation (APAEC), the region has committed to sourcing 40% of total primary energy supply and 45% of installed power capacity from renewables by 2030. Yet despite these ambitious targets, the gap between policy ambition and implementation is widening. Initially designed for centralized fossil-fuel-based generation, power grids across the region are struggling to adapt to the scale, variability, and geographic spread of renewable energy sources. The Philippines faces a mismatch between offshore wind potential and available transmission capacity. Malaysia's Single Buyer model and cross-subsidy structure are slowing the pace of its transition. Thailand's electricity sector contends with regulatory bottlenecks and grid inflexibility that limit renewable energy distribution. Vietnam's transmission infrastructure is lagging behind its rapid solar and wind deployment. Indonesia's grid expansion, meanwhile, is held back by a financing shortfall — the result of state utility PLN's overleveraged balance sheet and constitutional rulings that bar private-sector participation. At the same time, the ASEAN Power Grid (APG) — conceived in 1997 as a long-term strategy to interconnect the region's power systems, enable cross-border electricity trade, and strengthen energy security — has yet to scale to meet ASEAN's growing energy needs. The Laos–Thailand–Malaysia–Singapore (LTMS) Power Integration Project has demonstrated the viability of multilateral trade, but scaling it will require harmonized grid codes, coordinated dispatch, transparent transmission charges, formal dispute-settlement frameworks, and mechanisms to mobilize the private capital needed for cross-border infrastructure. This panel convenes energy transition experts from across the region to discuss how ASEAN can navigate a patchwork of legal systems, varying levels of market maturity, and divergent political priorities to build a truly integrated, functioning grid.

Flex and trade: Stories from Asia

This full-day event brings together policymakers, industry leaders, financiers, civil society, and innovators to explore how power system flexibility, industrial decarbonisation, and regional competitiveness can reinforce one another to accelerate Southeast Asia's just energy transition. Through interactive simulations, expert framing on topics such as battery storage, CBAM, and steel and hydrogen decarbonisation, and facilitated peer discussions, participants will examine the gap between policy ambition and real-world implementation, and identify actionable solutions for aligning power sector transformation with low-carbon industrial development across the region.

Gamifying Resilience: Play-Based Frameworks for Inclusive Climate Action

Climate action is often communicated through reports, technical frameworks and expert-led training. But communities facing water stress, heat, pollution, livelihood uncertainty and changing governance systems need more than information—they need the agency to understand systems, test choices and shape decisions. Gamifying Resilience is a 90-minute masterclass and manifesto-building session by SMART / Civic Games Lab exploring how games, simulations and participatory formats can become practical frameworks for climate action. The session will showcase field-tested approaches across climate awareness, rural development planning, integrated water management and city-building, demonstrating how complex challenges can be translated into playable systems using roles, cards, maps, budgets, scenarios and dilemmas. Participants will explore how play can enable communities to rehearse decisions, experience trade-offs, negotiate priorities and develop locally relevant pathways for resilience. The session will close with a collective Manifesto for Play-Based Climate Action—asking how play can move from novelty to a serious tool for inclusive climate planning and action.

MAIN STAGE | Day 2 | Signals from the Future: What’s Emerging?

Better, alternative economies are not fiction, but an ever-present reality across the region. NE pioneers will share lessons from their experience about the necessary conditions to grow a better economy, the obstacles that stands in the way, and how these may be overcome. New trends and technological possibilities are explored while highlighting the enduring relevance of cultural heritage, local wisdom, traditional practices, and indigenous knowledge. Each evening on the main stage, we feature the following: 🎭 Art & Culture Performance (15 min) A showcase celebrating Thailand's Climate Story — 7 Regions, 1 Action. Embracing local wisdom and modern creativity. 📋 BKKCAW recap of the day (15 min) Key highlights, moments and takeaways from today's BKKCAW sessions across the city. 💬 Q&A (10 min) Your questions answered by today's speakers and programme team. 🌀 Theme Wrap-Up (10 min) Reflecting on today's panel discussions and a preview of what's coming tomorrow. 🎵 Climate Concert (1 Hour) Music, art and community energy to close the evening, where sound and culture meet climate action.

Powering a safe and just renewable energy transition

Southeast Asia is scaling renewable energy at speed, and it should. But megawatts, mobilized capital, and avoided emissions do not tell us whether the transition is shaping a better future system – one that protects people and ecosystems, keeps energy affordable and reliable, shares costs and benefits fairly, earns social license, and takes responsibility for materials across their life cycle. This session treats ecological safety and social justice as the foundations for future systems that create enduring energy resilience. It draws lessons from the Responsible Energy Initiative - Philippines (REI PH), a multi-sector, collaborative action platform that Forum for the Future (Forum) and local partners convene to advance responsible renewable energy production and deployment. Thailand offers a contrasting market, with its own debate over imported power and gas dependence. Using both countries as complementary lenses through which to view the energy transition, the session moves from diagnosis to design and convenes the change-makers who could carry this work into new national contexts in Southeast Asia. The objectives of the session are: › Reframe ecological safety and social justice as the basis of a legitimate, resilient, and durable energy transition, not a compliance overlay. › Show a working model: what REI PH has learned in the Philippines, and how it could adapt to Thailand and beyond. › Identify concrete risks to avoid, enabling conditions, and near-term actions. › Convene the partners and funders who could extend safe and just RE programs to new national contexts.

Powering Growth, Polluting Communities

Across Asia, communities are increasingly raising concerns about the air pollution and public health impacts associated with gas-fired power plants. While these projects are often presented as part of the energy transition, affected communities continue to face questions around air quality, environmental monitoring, public participation, and accountability. Many organisations across the region are working on similar challenges, but opportunities for cross-border learning and collaboration remain limited. This event will bring together community advocates, civil society organisations, researchers, and campaigners from Asia to share experiences and lessons from campaigns addressing gas-power pollution and community health impacts. Through a short panel discussion and breakout sessions, participants will explore how communities are responding to pollution concerns, compare approaches to monitoring and accountability, and identify opportunities for collaboration. Interpretation will be available between Thai and English at this event. Registrations are required to attend.

Surviving the City: Climate Risks, Energy Choices, Our Future

We have been living with increasingly extreme weather for more than a decade—but how much has Bangkok already changed, and what comes next? How much hotter could the city become? How much flooding should we prepare for? And what needs to change for Bangkok to remain liveable? Surviving the City invites you to explore these questions through a four-part immersive data visualization. Follow Bangkok’s extreme weather patterns from the past to the present and into the future, and explore how climate impacts affect people differently depending on where and how they live. Then, discover the possibilities for the energy system that keeps the city running. Where does our energy come from today? What choices do we have? And how could a cleaner, more resilient energy system help shape the future of our city? Let’s find out what the data tells us about the city we live in and adaptation we need! 📍 One Bangkok, B1 floor 📅 5–11 October 2026

Talent, Purpose, and the Asia Decade: Investing in Asia's Climate Talent

Every practitioner in this field has had the same moment: a project ready to go, except nobody on the team has the technical experience in storage systems, climate risk modelling, or offtake negotiation to take it forward. It's not a one-off — global demand for green talent is growing roughly twice as fast as supply, and by 2030 as many as one in five climate roles could go unfilled. With Asia's energy systems already strained by a global crisis and a looming super El Niño, closing this gap requires the urgency this decade actually demands. Bringing together funders, climate organisations, and talent partners, the session will explore where talent needs are sharpest, especially among CSOs, how funders can plug into closing them, and what it's really like to move into a climate career, or upskill within one – drawing on the perspectives of people who've made that transition. The evening closes with networking over food and drinks. This event is by invitation only.

What The Plans Miss: Women and Asia's Climate & Energy Justice Plans

Women are living the Just Energy Transition amid its conflicts. Why aren't they leading it?" Across Asia and the Pacific, 385 national energy policies were reviewed. Only 16 were centered on gender. In the meantime, most of the energy ministries in the region are still led by men. Asia's energy systems are evolving rapidly and the existing inequalities are determining who carries the costs of that change and who receives its benefits. Women are living through those resource distributions and working to shift this reality. This work is rarely present where the plans are written and the conversations that produce the plans remain largely technical. Join Sath-CSIDC at Bangkok Climate Action Week as we address this gap by moving women's knowledge and leadership from the margins to the centre of climate and energy discourse and build intentional relationships between practitioners working on these questions across the region to foster collaboration that continues past the session. Hear from an all women-panel with a diverse expertise in research, advocacy, community training, climate finance and movement organising and then join breakout groups to build the relationships and ideas that outlast the session. This isn't a room to sit and listen. It's a room to build in. Who is This For: Organizers, Researchers, Gender/JET Professionals, Energy Experts, Funders, Policy Experts, Justice-oriented Social Organizations, Regional and International Development Organizations Please register via the QR code! it will take even less than 2 minutes! In partnership with: Kai Impact Advisory (KAI Advisory), Philanthropy Dialogues, Asian People’s Movement and Debt & Development (APMDD), Mee Panyar & Asian-Pacific Resource & Research Centre for Women (ARROW)

Who Writes the Transition? Women's Leadership and the New Economy across South and Southeast Asia

Oneworld Colab brings together a panel discussion centered around a single question: What does a gender-just transition across South and Southeast Asia actually require, and who gets to design and finance it? Moderated by Moutushi Sengputa (Founder, Oneworld Colab) bringing expertise in climate finance and community-led clean energy action, the panel brings together a diverse cohort of partner organizations; Haqdarshak on social protection and last-mile welfare delivery, Heifer International on food systems and rural livelihoods, ARROW on rights and intergenerational policy advocacy, and PEKKA on grassroots collective economy and women’s leadership. Senior leaders from each organisation will speak directly from their communities’ frontline realities in a structured dialogue. The discussion is followed by The Weave, a facilitated connection space designed to seed new institutional links between South and Southeast Asian organisations.
