A sneak peek into AktivAsia’s recent “Building Transnational Finance Power in Asia” symposium at Bangkok Climate Action Week 2026 in collaboration with Market Forces and Sunrise. 🌏✊

Looking back on 2025, AktivAsia experienced a year full of learning and organising that brought hope.

We have learned with nearly 500 participants, who joined our training programs in 2025. They are union organisers, researchers, students and community leaders who will continue to shape campaigns for years to come.

But, demand is outstripping supply. We received 832 applications for 487 places — almost two applicants for every seat.

To close that gap we are changing how we work. We are equipping alumni to deliver training in their own countries, and seeking additional partners to grow the collective impact of the movement.

From the Nepal flash flood to the thick smoke across borders from the Indonesia wildfire, the accelerating climate breakdown is sweeping across Asia.

And there is not much time left to take action.

We need the public to put pressure on politicians to make real changes towards climate justice.

That's why AktivAsia trains frontline and marginalised communities that already lead the movement.

AktivAsia succesfully hosted “Drinks for Climate: Organising – The Missing Piece?” at Bangkok Climate Action Week 2026.

We explored how strengthening organising capacity can build collective power and drive lasting climate action across Asia.

Movements don’t happen by chance but built by people, trust and collective action.
Investing in organizers means investing in lasting change. 🌱

AktivAsia, Market Forces and The Sunrise Project presented “Building Transnational Finance Power in Asia” symposium at Bangkok Climate Action Week 2026.

The panel discussion brought together campaigners and civil society leaders to explore how communities can influence banks, investors, companies and governments: to build power across borders.

All in all, our work continues: building connections, strengthening campaigns, and shifting finance towards a more just and sustainable future.
🌏✊

Thank you for your participation and see you on the next event!
