Mandaue City’s Road to Lower Carbon
Post date: Tuesday, 20 October 2015 03:31AM

Energy Ministers’ Meeting (EMM) Chair and Philippine Department of Energy OIC-Secretary, Zenaida Y. Monsada, along with the 21-Member Economies, announced that Mandaue City was chosen as the recipient for the Phase-Six (6) of the Low Carbon Model Town Project during the APEC EMM12.

This entitles Mandaue City to a feasibility study grant that would determine policy program measures to realize its targets for green technology opportunities particularly in buildings, urban planning and transport sector.

Mandaue is located on the central-eastern coastal region of Cebu, and is one of the three highly urbanized cities on the island and forms part of the Cebu Metropolitan area. It is connected by two bridges to the island of Mactan. Mandaue is also known as the “furniture capital of the Philippines.”

Other nominees for this year’s LCMT Project are Krasnoyarsk City, Russia and Subang Jaya, Malaysia.

Strengthened Energy Cooperation with IEA
Post date: Tuesday, 20 October 2015 02:05AM

The Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Energy Working Group (APEC EWG) signed a cooperation agreement with the International Energy Agency (IEA) on 13 October 2015 at the Shangri-La Mactan in Cebu as part of the 12th APEC Energy Ministers’ Meeting.

The two parties held a signing ceremony for a Joint Declaration for Future Collaboration with EWG Lead Shepherd Dr. Phyllis Yoshida and IEA Director Keisuke Sadamori as signatories. The event was witnessed by Philippine Department of Energy OIC-Secretary Zenaida Y. Monsada, Usec. Loreta G. Ayson, and APEC Secretariat Executive Director Alan Bollard.

Through this binding document, APEC and IEA seek to expand cooperation in areas of mutual interest and benefit, including energy security, energy resilience, energy efficiency, renewable energy, energy data and statistics, among others.

Founded in 1974, the IEA was initially designed to help countries co-ordinate a collective response to major disruptions in the supply of oil such as the crisis of 1973/4. It is also greatly involved in the global dialogue on energy, providing authoritative statistics and analysis.
