The Climate Change Commission (CCC) lauded the actions outlined by President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. during his third State of the Nation Address (SONA), delivered yesterday.

President Marcos highlighted the pressing need for enhanced climate action and underscored the Philippines' proactive stance in advocating for climate responsibility and justice on a global scale.

"As we can see in all the world, weather events are, as have been predicted, getting more extreme, such as torrential rains that instantly shift to scorching heat waves or vice versa," he stated.

"Our country's geographical location makes us highly vulnerable to the adverse effects of climate change. Precisely because of our inherent vulnerability, we are proactive advocates for heightened climate responsibility and justice on the global stage."

President Marcos announced a significant achievement for the country on the global climate arena: securing a seat on the Loss and Damage Fund (LDF) Board and being selected as host country to that fund.

The LDF is an international financial mechanism designed to provide support to climate-vulnerable countries in their recovery efforts from climate change-related economic and non-economic loss and damage. The support is provided in the form of grants and concessional financing, which can be accessed by eligible countries.

"This welcome development shall complement all our other climate adaptation and mitigation measures and give us a strong voice to access the needed financial assistance for climate-related initiatives and impacts," the President added.

The LDF Board is responsible for establishing the Fund's direction, managing its operations, and developing its work program. It consists of 26 members representing parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and the Paris Agreement, which includes the Philippines, 12 developed, and 13 other developing countries.

The CCC welcomed the President's actions to enhance the country’s climate adaptation and mitigation strategies.

“The CCC will ensure that the Philippines will remain at the forefront of global climate action. The President's support for climate-related initiatives is crucial to ensure a sustainable future for the Philippines and the rest of the world,” said CCC Vice Chairperson and Executive Director Robert EA Borje.

The CCC expresses its full support for the President’s climate agenda and is dedicated to work closely with government agencies, local government units, civil society organizations, and the private sector to implement the strategies outlined in the SONA.

Climate change poses a significant threat to global peace and development, and young people are at the forefront of experiencing its consequences.

Young Filipinos must be equipped with the skills to understand the science behind climate change and develop strong analytical and problem-solving skills for informed decision-making and effective advocacy. They can foster creativity in areas including renewable energy, resource efficiency, and climate-resilient infrastructure.

The CCC is committed to collaborate with educational institutions and community organizations to integrate climate change education and green skills development into both formal curriculums and informal training programs, support youth-led initiatives focused on climate action and sustainable development, and provide capacity-building programs to empower young Filipinos with the necessary skills to become leaders in climate action.

In 2014, the United Nations General Assembly declared 15 July as World Youth Skills Day to celebrate the strategic importance of equipping young people with skills for employment, decent work, and entrepreneurship. The theme for this year, "Youth Skills for Peace and Development," underscores the crucial role young people play in peacebuilding and conflict resolution.

The Climate Change Commission (CCC) welcomes the Philippines’ selection as host of the Loss and Damage Fund (LDF) Board.

The unanimous decision by the LDF Board affirms the Philippines’ leadership – under President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. – in transformative climate action and demonstrates stakeholder confidence in the country’s commitment to constructively contribute towards global efforts to address climate change.

As a nation that constantly faces climate-related disasters, the Philippines has championed and advocated the urgent establishment of robust mechanisms to prevent and reduce losses and damages.

The LDF is a vital step in mobilizing the much-needed support for nations most at risk to climate change to further bolster capacities to recover, rebuild, and transform better.

The selection of the Philippines as host of the LDF Board is part of an integrated and comprehensive process required for an effective and efficient global finance mechanism to address climate losses and damages.

Under President Marcos’ leadership and guidance, the CCC will continue to advance core Philippine interests in climate adaptation and mitigation in all relevant fora, mindful that the Philippines is a responsible member of the international community.

Population dynamics directly affect the rate of consumption and degradation done to our environment. As population rises, the demand for energy, transport, food, and land space also increases thereby increasing our carbon emissions. This is a harsh reality that the whole world needs to face. By recognizing these intertwining relations, we can spark meaningful dialogues to explore potential ways to achieve the much needed balance between population growth and environmental sustainability, ultimately contributing to our climate change adaptation and mitigation efforts.

What innovative solutions can we develop to address the combined challenges of population growth and climate change, particularly in the most vulnerable regions? As we celebrate World Population Day, let us immerse ourselves in this question and jumpstart conversations on how we can best create a climate-resilient world where no one gets left behind.

________

World Population Day is celebrated every July 11 as promulgated by the UN under the resolution of 45/216 of December 1990, which aims to enhance awareness of population issues.

Sa panahon ng sakuna, mahalaga na maging matalino at maingat sa pagkuha at pagbabahagi ng impormasyon. Ang tamang kaalaman ay maaaring magligtas ng buhay.

Narito ang ilang mahalagang paalala upang masiguro na ang impormasyon na natatanggap at ibinabahagi ay tama at mapagkakatiwalaan ng ating pamilya.

As climate change continues to intensify, vulnerable countries like the Philippines expect to face even more severe climate change impacts in the near future. Amid these challenges, cooperatives play a vital role in helping Filipino communities cope and adapt.

Cooperatives are autonomous and legally registered associations of persons with a common interest, who voluntarily join together to achieve their social, economic and cultural needs and aspirations by making equitable contributions to required capital, patronizing their products and services.

They are indispensable actors in strengthening the climate resilience of Filipino communities. By providing technical knowledge and financial assistance to its members, cooperatives ease grassroots transformations along the lines of sustainable and resilient agriculture, aquaculture, renewable energy, and eco-friendly transportations.

As we celebrate the International Day of Cooperatives today, let us recognize the crucial roles that cooperatives play in ushering a climate-smart and climate-resilient Philippines. Let this day serve as a platform to invite support for local cooperatives that contribute to the country’s venture towards sustainable development.

The United Nations celebrates the International Day of Cooperatives every 1st Saturday of July. The commemoration aims to highlight the relevance of cooperatives in promoting and advocating for sustainable development. This year’s theme, “Cooperatives Building a Better Future for All,” acknowledges their efforts in creating a sustainable and equitable future by empowering communities and promoting inclusive economic growth.

Did you know that today is 𝗦𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗚𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗼𝗺𝘆 𝗗𝗮𝘆?

But what exactly is sustainable gastronomy?

Gastronomy is the art and science of food. It can be a style of cooking specific to a region, which emphasizes local flavors and traditions.

Meanwhile, sustainability means using resources efficiently to ensure they are available for future generations without harming the environment or our health. This includes everything from farming and fishing to food preparation.

Sustainable gastronomy is about creating and enjoying food that considers where the ingredients come from, how they are grown or produced, and how they reach our markets and tables.

In 2016, the UN General Assembly designated June 18 as Sustainable Gastronomy Day to encourage appreciation of the culinary traditions that connect us to the environment and promote practices that safeguard our planet.

Join us today in celebrating by making mindful choices that support sustainable gastronomy. Here are some simple tips to get started. ⬇️

Currently, up to 40% of the world's land is degraded.

Desertification refers to the degradation of land resulting primarily from climatic variations and human activities. Drought, on the other hand, is a natural phenomenon characterized by a prolonged period of abnormally low rainfall that leads to a shortage of water.

With climate change, desertification and droughts are expected to intensify. This loss affects ecosystems' ability to function and provide essential services.

On the World Day to Combat Desertification and Drought, the CCC urges the public to take concerted action in land restoration and water management to build resilience against these threats. Participate in local land restoration projects, advocate for sustainable land use policies, and educate others about the importance of combating desertification and drought.

Officially declared by the United Nations General Assembly in 1994 (A/RES/49/115), the World Day to Combat Desertification and Drought, marked annually on 17 June, aims to promote public awareness on the issues linked to desertification, land degradation, and drought, and to showcase human-led solutions to prevent desertification and reverse intensifying droughts.
