Defining the News
Environment Secretary Maria Antonia Loyzaga pledged on Friday to address the impacts of climate change not only in the Philippines but globally. This announcement follows the Philippines’ selection as the host nation for the Loss and Damage Fund board.
“The Loss and Damage Fund is a long-fought struggle to directly assist those who bear the greatest impact of climate-induced losses and damage to recover and build. We take on this responsibility in solidarity with all countries vulnerable to the impacts of climate change,” she noted. “Our large growing population and our steady economic growth are factors resulting in the singular distinction of being among the world’s countries at highest risk for several years running,” according to Loyzaga.
Loyzaga suggested that these challenges are why the Philippines has become a strong advocate for climate-vulnerable countries.
