TITIYAKIN ni Pangulong Ferdinand Marcos Jr., may malakas na boses ang Pilipinas pagdating sa usapin na may kinalaman sa epekto ng climate change o pagbabago ng klima.
Ito’y matapos na matuwa ang Pangulo nang malaman na nakakuha ang Pilipinas ng puwesto sa board ng Loss and Damage Fund, naglalayong tulungan ang mga mahihirap na bansa na makayanan ang “magastos” o “mahal” na climate disasters.
“I am very gratified to hear the news that the Philippines secured a membership on the damage and loss board for the year 2024 and the year 2026, serving as an alternate for 2025,” ayon kay Pangulong Marcos sa isang video message.
“This will give the voice in the management of all funding that is available around the world to mitigate and adapt to the effects of climate change,” dagdag na pahayag nito.
Tinuran pa nito na “The next step that we are hoping to achieve is to host the damage and loss fund here in the Philippines because after all, we are very much in the mix when it comes on the climate change effects. So this is a good development that we’ll keep working to make sure that the Philippines has a very strong voice when it comes to all the issues of climate change of which we are very severely affected.”
Nauna rito, sinabi ni Environment Secretary Ma. Antonia Yulo-Loyzaga na nakasungkit ang Pilipinas ng puwesto sa board ng Loss and Damage Fund.
Aniya pa, magkakaroon ng term sharing sa board.
“For the three terms, we will have two years – the first year which is the inaugural year, 2024 and 2026. In the year 2025, we will have a term share with Pakistan who is the other Asia-Pacific country that is also part of the board,” aniya pa rin.
Para kay Loyzaga, ang Pilipinas ang pinaka-kuwalipikado na mag-host ng Loss and Damage Fund dahil buhay na testamento ito sa epekto ng climate change. (Daris Jose)
