#Asia faces a complex #energy challenge. Record #heatwaves are driving cooling demand, #AI infrastructure's energy needs are enormous and the regions heavy industries will require even more energy to build infrastructure and manufacture goods. Countries need to balance these priorities while racing to meet #climate commitments. We sat down with Joojin Kim, founder of Solutions for Our Climate (SFOC) and a board member at Climate Catalyst, to explore how #policymakers should navigate these competing priorities. His perspective challenges a lot of conventional thinking. The barriers to renewable deployment? Mostly #policy choices, not resource constraints. He explained how smaller nations, with limited land are able to develop and deploy renewable resources at both speed and scale, while larger nations have some of the world's lowest #renewable penetration. The difference comes down to how power systems are designed and whether governments create fair market access for clean #energy. Joojin also dismantles the idea that gas is still a transition fuel, explains why #solar technology is advancing faster than most projections predict and shares what it will actually take to decarbonise Asia's #heavyindustries while ensuring #workers and #communities are not left behind. But perhaps his most important message? "Climate progress has consistently happened ever since the world realised that carbon dioxide is heating the planet. Change will happen." Advising organisations like us to build on our momentum and continue to push the important work forward, despite the negative messaging and cynicism out there. Read the insightful discussion below. https://lnkd.in/dnWX-xiD

📬 Welcome to the October 2025 edition of SFOC’s global newsletter, [Focus on Climate]. 🕊️ With COP30 just around the corner, this month’s issue dives into what’s at stake, what’s moving, and where Asia fits into the global climate equation. 🌱 We explore Brazil’s Global Mutirão, a call for collective climate action rooted in Indigenous values of solidarity and shared labor. 📉 We break down the Global Stocktake’s hard truths on energy: the world must triple renewables, double efficiency, and phase out fossil fuels. 🇰🇷 In Korea, a UCL study warns that public financing for LNG carriers has exposed the country to the highest stranded asset risk worldwide. SFOC’s latest brief reveals the scale of KEXIM’s fossil-heavy portfolio. 🪵 Our documentary on biomass -- Wood You Believe It? -- premiered in Seoul. It tells the story of Indonesia’s forest communities bearing the brunt of Asia’s biomass expansion. 🗣️ We joined Justiça Ambiental from Mozambique in front of Samsung HQ, demanding corporate accountability for the human rights abuses linked to the LNG megaproject. 📰 Plus: We’re hosting a Pre-COP30 Media Briefing on November 4 for Asian journalists, and highlighting Asia’s rising role in global climate action at the Asia Climate Solutions Pavilion in Belém -- featuring 60+ side events on shipping, climate finance, just transition, and more. 👀 We’re also hiring! Open roles in our Seoul and Tokyo offices.
