Renewable energy

To move beyond fossil fuels, we need scalable energy systems built on justice, sustainability and accountability. Communities across the Pacific Rim want clean, reliable and locally-driven solutions, and Pacific Environment is helping accelerate that shift. We support renewable energy strategies that protect ecosystems, improve public health and ensure frontline communities lead the way in shaping a climate-resilient future.

Why fossil fuel dependence must end

Fossil fuels continue to pollute the air, warm the planet and destroy ecosystems. Too often, the harm falls on communities least responsible for the climate crisis. Across coastal regions, aging energy systems threaten public health, food security and climate stability.

The need for action is clear, but top-down, profit-driven solutions risk deepening existing injustices. We work to ensure the energy transition is not just swift but equitable, inclusive and sustainable.

Community-led renewable energy solutions

Pacific Environment supports place-based clean energy strategies that center justice, sovereignty and resilience. We focus on solutions that reduce emissions while strengthening local control and long-term benefits. Our work includes:

  • Supporting offshore wind development that avoids ecological harm
  • Advancing community-owned solar and microgrid systems
  • Advocating for public investment in low-carbon infrastructure
  • Opposing fossil fuel expansion and risky gas transition schemes
  • Uplifting Indigenous and local leadership in energy planning

Scaling impact through renewable energy solutions

Across Alaska and Asia, Pacific Environment supports efforts to transition away from diesel, scale renewable energy solutions like offshore wind and protect marine ecosystems. Everywhere we work, we help connect community priorities to the policies and funding needed to make them real.

Our renewable energy projects reflect a commitment to justice, sustainability and local leadership. By working regionally and advocating globally, we help create the systems change needed for a livable climate and a sustainable energy future.
