What if you could help build a fossil-free future—one powered by communities, not corporations? Be a part with us into our groundbreaking video series where climate science meets real-world action, and discover how indigenous wisdom + cutting-edge renewables are rewriting our energy story from the ground up.

Led by Mr Adrian Lasimbang, a Kadazan from Sabah, Malaysia, he is an innovative leader in renewable energy solutions for rural electrification. Mr. Lasimbang is also a co founder and executive director of TObpinai NIngkokoton koBUruon kampuNG [TONIBUNG] (Friends of Village Development) an indigenous-lead non-profit group that develops sustainable alternatives for rural electrification while advocating for native rights and supporting local entrepreneurship and innovation around Southeast Asia.

In the past, this former senator in Malaysia and social innovator who have made an impact in the community for overseeing more than 40 systems across the country, served as REP executive director, and here – his journey on impacting, coaching, and mentoring people on renewable energy systems continues

Unlike some some abstract theory, these 8 sessions deliver a proven roadmap for climate justice and community-powered energy. Whether you’re a policymaker, engineer, activist, or student, you’ll learn a lot including:

The science behind the climate crisis & why justice must drive the energy transition (Session 1)

How sunlight, rivers, and waste become lifelines for off-grid communities (Session 2)

A Step-by-step field techniques to harness rivers for micro-hydro power (Sessions 5-6)

Solar site analysis tricks used by pros (Sessions 7-8), and

The secret to projects that last: community ownership & FPIC (Sessions 3-4)

This module from TONIBUNG was developed specifically for project implementers who are interested in implementing community-based renewable energy projects within their communities. The main objective of this module is to give fundamentals of delveloping community-based renewable energy projects, mainly on micro-hydro and solar PV systems. To achieve the main objective, participants must complete three modules: Fundamentals of Renewable Energy Systems, Fundamentals Design of Micro-hydro and Solar PV systems, and Community-Led Renewable Energy Systems. By the end of the module, participants are expected to understand the basics of renewable energy systems and community-based management.
