AIS inks partnership with Komunidad for climate action projects

The Ateneo Institute of Sustainability and Komunidad inked a Memorandum of Understanding on projects to combat climate change and enhance sustainability principles and practices within the Ateneo community and beyond.

Climate tech startup Komunidad will lend its expertise in climate action projects to the Ateneo de Manila University to widen the reach of the #EarlyWarningsForAll movement, including young leaders from the university.

Vice President for Mission Integration Dr. Benjamin Gerardo Tolosa, Jr. and Komunidad Chief Executive Officer Felix Ayque led the signing of the MOU. They were joined by AIS Director Dr. Emmanuel Delocado, Komunidad Chief Operations Officer Allister Ayque, Chief Product Officer Jed Llanes, and Climate Action Suite Product Manager Marela Ann Codico.

The partnership will span until August 2026 and will cover environmental and climate-related initiatives, particularly benefiting Ateneo-associated programs and students.

This new deal aligns with the shared belief of Komunidad and Ateneo in the potential of collective action towards sustainability. It also hopes to instill social responsibility among Ateneo students, noting that many young leaders are taking up space and standing at the forefront of the fight against climate change.

Delocado expressed excitement on the start of the meaningful collaboration between Ateneo and Komunidad. “This collaboration for data-driven initiatives on climate justice that will benefit the Ateneo de Manila and our partner communities is in support of AIS’ vision to mainstream integral ecology and resiliency.”

Meanwhile, Llanes said, “We believe that this partnership will bear a positive impact within the sustainability space in the country.”
