During a recent visit to Sri Lanka, USAID Assistant Administrator Michael Schiffer had the opportunity to travel in an electric three-wheeler charged at a solar-powered EV charging station located at a Cargills supermarket. This innovative initiative, supported by USAID Sri Lanka, highlights the practical use of renewable energy in everyday transportation. The visit emphasized the vital role of public-private partnerships in advancing sustainable energy solutions. This USAID project includes collaboration with private sector partners such as Cargills Ceylon, Vega Innovations, and Jetwing Hotels. The Assistant Administrator praised the progress in integrating renewable energy into affordable transportation options. The USAID Sri Lanka Energy Program is proud to support such initiatives, which are crucial for Sri Lanka’s transition to a sustainable, market-based energy system, ensuring reliable and affordable electricity for all. #RenewableEnergy #SustainableTransport #CleanEnergy #PublicPrivatePartnerships #GreenFuture

The Verde Island Passage is a global hotspot for marine biodiversity, housing vibrant coral reefs and diverse marine life in incredibly fragile ecosystems. The Philippines, facing severe climate impacts, needs innovative solutions and support to protect such vulnerable populations. Learn more about our work in increasing #ClimateResilience in the environment: https://ow.ly/Thkq50TeL8H
I had a free Sunday recently in the Philippines. I had learned that the scientific community has discovered that the Verde Island Passage in the Philippines is one of the most important areas around the globe for marine #biodiversity. It contains the highest concentration of marine shore fish biodiversity on the planet, with more than 1,700 species coexisting within just a 10 square km area. 🌏🐠 So I decided to visit! Snorkeling with some friends and a local scientist we saw some of this biodiversity firsthand, including this close encounter with a sea turtle. We named him "Harold" (I'm not sure why :). The diversity of marine life was spectacular - especially the wide variety of coral reefs. The Philippines is also one of the countries most at risk from the effects of climate change, facing increasingly severe typhoons, rising sea levels, and threats to biodiversity. These negative climate impacts compound, leading to strains on healthcare systems, displacement, and more. You can see that in the most recent reporting on the flooding happening there now. https://lnkd.in/g6ey35iC https://lnkd.in/gfkqxurM Now is our opportunity to support innovations that combat climate change and fund solutions that can create meaningful change in the #Philippines and throughout the world - we have a lot of work to do!
