revealed its 2050 net-zero plan to include poverty alleviation, circularity-related practices, and more sustainable supply chains.
Yet the Philippines should still mitigate its own pollution. As an industrializing nation that is also among the most vulnerable to climate change impacts, it has the imperative to avoid repeating the same pollutive development pathways of high-income countries that caused this problem. A cleaner development pathway also provides numerous socioeconomic opportunities that would enable our country to achieve its national development goals and targets.
