Clean Energy, Empowered Communities (CEEC)
Mining for Renewable Technologies & Rights-Based Empowerment in High Climate Risk Regions
Supported by Resource Justice Network
The CEEC project envisions building enhanced environmental governance and strengthened livelihood opportunities by using community legal empowerment and local coalition building to generate systemic change. This project has emerged from local calls for change, aiming to strengthen institutions, uphold mining accountability, and create local policy action within the Philippines’ extractive industry. To achieve this goal, the project will pursue the following outcomes, activities and outputs, which are farmed out to Bantay Kita’s extensive subnational, national and international network, supported by its track record in increasing transparency and accountability in the extractive industries.
This project will employ a community-centred participatory case study approach focusing on nickel, copper, and cobalt, within three priority provinces in Mindanao, Philippines. Implementing partners are critical to partnership building, research, knowledge mobilization and rights-based training, specifically: (1) Barangay Imelda Fisherfolk Association, Libjo Poblacion Payaw Fisherfolks Association and Esperanza Cansim-ong Irrigators Association in Dinagat Island (2) Convergence of Initiatives for Environmental Justice in South Cotabato; (3) Father Saturnino Urios University - Urian Legal Assistance Program (FSUU-ULAP) in Agusan del Norte.
