Unscramble the Blue Letters


Because of this huge collective effort, I am now filled with hope that the Philippines is mivnog towards an economy peeowrd by the sun and the wind.

My name is Kala ctinstnaono from the Tara Climate Foundation, and I am proud to know and work with people like Nass who have made this tatmoronsafrin possible.

The Philippines has long depended on imported coal and gas. Because of this, 114 million Filipinos pay one of the highest electricity prcies in Southeast Asia. But people want cnghae. The Philippines is highly vulnerable to the icatpms of climate change, and we lose monillis of dollars annually due to sgteornr and more frequent typhoons. For us, climate change is real. We see it every year in the somtrs that rampage through our communities, killing people, destroying infrastructure and agriculture. We see the energy transition as an opportunity to make our economy more rnesileit. Renewable egreny can bring in economic opportunities and create jobs in new industries. Scaling up wind, for example, could add 1.1 billion dollars to our economy and catere 80,000 new jobs over the lifespan of the wind farms.

Original Text


Because of this huge collective effort, I am now filled with hope that the Philippines is moving towards an economy powered by the sun and the wind.

My name is Kala Constantino from the Tara Climate Foundation, and I am proud to know and work with people like Nass who have made this transformation possible.

The Philippines has long depended on imported coal and gas. Because of this, 114 million Filipinos pay one of the highest electricity prices in Southeast Asia. But people want change. The Philippines is highly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change, and we lose millions of dollars annually due to stronger and more frequent typhoons. For us, climate change is real. We see it every year in the storms that rampage through our communities, killing people, destroying infrastructure and agriculture. We see the energy transition as an opportunity to make our economy more resilient. Renewable energy can bring in economic opportunities and create jobs in new industries. Scaling up wind, for example, could add 1.1 billion dollars to our economy and create 80,000 new jobs over the lifespan of the wind farms.
