President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. on Wednesday called for a united effort among nations to address climate change.President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. meets with UN Sec-Gen Antonio Guterres on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly where they exchange views on combating climate change.
“The effects of climate change are uneven and reflect an historical injustice: Those who are least responsible suffer the most. The Philippines, for example, is a net carbon sink, we absorb more carbon dioxide than we emit. And yet, we are the 4th most vulnerable country to the effects of climate change,” he said.
In June, Marcos said he was seriously considering his invitation to attend the UN Climate Change Conference’s 27th session of the Conference of the Parties in Egypt in November this year. The Philippines, which accounts for less than 1 percent of the world’s emissions, has committed to reducing its emissions by 70 percent by 2030.
He also expressed a desire to forge cooperation with the UN and other partners to boost agricultural productivity and food security. US Secretary of State Antony Blinken noted the effects of rising prices in some of the world’s most vulnerable places, including Yemen, which has been devastated by eight years of war from which it is seeing a respite.
He recognized the crafting of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development as a platform where societies can build a future that is “resilient” and “inclusive.” In his meeting with Raimondo, Pascual emphasized the Philippines’ desire to attract more US investments in power generation, especially in the field of renewable energy such as geothermal, solar, and wind power for the Philippines.
