The Asian Development Bank (ADB) in Manila has moved a step closer to sustainability by switching completely to 100% renewable energy. This significant initiative, by changing its energy dependency from grid electricity to solar and geothermal energy, is the highlight of ADB’s efforts to promote its second year of its ‘No Impact Week’ project. In addition, it is expected to reduce almost half of ADB’s yearly carbon footprint and achieve CO2 emission reduction of more than 9,500 tonnes.
