Tony La Viña, a former lead climate negotiator who is in Egypt as an observer for COP27, says he expects the Philippine delegation to 'not just deliver speeches but actively help craft text that can be adopted at the end of the COP.' COP27
MANILA, Philippines – The United Nations climate summit in Egypt will be a litmus test for the Marcos administration’s oft-repeated commitment to address climate change, according to experts.
Loyzaga was appointed by President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. as chairperson-designate of the CCC, concurrent to her post at the Department of Environment and Natural Resources. By law, the Philippine president serves as the chairperson of the commission, the government’s sole policy-making body on matters relating to climate change.
In a statement, Loyzaga said the Philippines will press for climate finance and assistance from rich nations to help developing countries adapt to the worsening impacts of climate change. “Nevertheless, this is a moment for Secretary Loyzaga’s expertise in climate change and disaster resilience to shine through, but this can only be done if she listens to the people’s demands,” he added.
Loyzaga previously served as executive director of the observatory, a scientific research institution studying atmospheric and Earth science.
