About this webinar
This webinar explored opportunities and challenges relating to greening the jeepneys in the Philippines, which form the core of the country's public transport system. The jeepney modernization and electrification initiative requires a whole-of-society approach to ensure a just transition for all. In particular, the case of the Philippines' General Santos City was discussed.
