Every year on April 22nd, the world pauses to recognize Earth Day, a crucial reminder of our shared responsibility to protect the planet we call home.
This year’s theme, “Our Power, Our Planet,” resonates with a potent call to action: to unite and harness our collective strength to safeguard the environment.
A central focus of this year’s Earth Day is the urgent need to triple global electricity generation from renewable sources by 2030. That might sound like a big, complicated goal, but let’s break it down. Renewable energy comes from sources that naturally replenish themselves—think sunshine, wind, and water. Solar panels on rooftops, wind turbines dotting landscapes, and hydroelectric dams harnessing the flow of rivers are all examples of this clean energy in action.
The call to triple renewable energy by 2030 isn’t just a hopeful wish; it’s a necessary step outlined by scientists and experts to keep global warming within manageable limits. It requires a concerted effort from governments, businesses, and individuals alike. Furthermore, the Philippines has made strides in policy and large-scale projects. The government has set targets for increasing the share of renewable energy in the national energy mix, and investments in solar and wind farms are gradually expanding the country’s clean energy capacity. Initiatives promoting energy efficiency and conservation are also gaining traction, helping to reduce overall energy demand.
