#### CALL OUT THE ASIAN DEVELOPMENT BANK:

# Flip the Switch to People-Powered Energy!

Right now, instead of funding the real solutions that communities are building, **the Asian Development Bank (ADB) is pouring money into fossil fuels – especially fossil gas**. It’s a dangerous distraction from a just energy transition and only worsens the climate crisis.

ADB claims to support clean energy, **but at the Asia Clean Energy Forum (ACEF) this 2-6 June 2025, they’re still backing destructive projects** and sidelining community-led alternatives.

Let’s flip the switch and let them know we are watching. **Flood their social media pages** and show them the world demands a just transition, from fossil fuel finance to people-powered solutions.

> Fossil gas is not a transition. It’s a trap. Stop fossil fuel financing now and fund community energy! #JustTransitionNow #ACEF2025



> Hey ADB, you can’t claim to be climate leaders while bankrolling fossil fuels. #EndFossilFuelFinance #ACEF2025



> Real climate solutions are already here: solar microgrids, energy co-ops, and people power. Fund them, not polluters. #PowerToCommunities #ACEF2025
