House Deputy Speaker and Antique Lone District Rep. Loren Legarda has sought urgent action from the national government to enforce the Paris Agreement on climate finance to protect Filipinos from greenhouse emissions and avoid the disastrous impact of climate change.
“We count on the DOF as head of our national delegation to ensure that developed countries will finally move with urgency to deliver on their commitments in terms of the Paris Agreement’s means of implementation: climate finance, technology transfer, and capacity building from developed countries to developing ones,” the Antique lone district congresswoman said.
She also emphasized the call of the Climate Vulnerable Forum —which she co-founded—for COP26 to finalize and deliver strong carbon market mechanisms. At the same time, however, Legarda emphasized the need for more ambitious national targets—and for making every budget a climate adaptive budget.
