PASAY CITY, Philippines, Dec. 2, 2022<\/span> \/PRNewswire\/ — WWF-Philippines is enjoining the private sector to work towards convening a Philippine Alliance<\/span> for Climate Action in the culmination of the UNITED FOR CLIMATE: Sustainability Forum held at the Conrad Manila on November 28, 2022<\/span>. The forum, hosted by SM Investments Corporation, gathered business owners, partner suppliers, policy makers, and civil society organizations in a multi-sectoral dialogue on climate action.<\/p>\n

“Through a Philippine Alliance<\/span> for Climate Action, companies can work together to create a shared vision and synchronized action plan. We hope this can be a way for the private sector -as the engine of our economy – to accelerate efforts for the single goal of keeping global warming to 1.5C,” WWF-Philippines Executive Director, Katherine ‘Trin’ Custodio said.<\/p>\n

“We hope that this forum will launch sector-wide discussions on innovative climate strategies across Philippine industries. The next steps will be to agree on a way forward and a timeline, and how all can progress towards a unified, private sector-led climate action plan that is context-specific, adaptive, and truly Filipino,” said Hans Sy, Jr.<\/span> of the SM Group who was also one of the forum’s keynote speakers.<\/p>\n

“Together with WWF, we invite you to carry on with the discussions from COP 27<\/span> – this time, bringing them closer to home. We urge that we look at our climate agenda through the lens of the Philippines’<\/span> agenda and the realities that Filipino businesses and local communities face every day,” SM Investments President and Chief Executive Officer Frederic C. DyBuncio<\/span> said in his opening remarks during the forum.   <\/p>\n

The forum kicked off the joint efforts to fight climate change through “fireside chats” that formed the foundation of a practical climate action plan.<\/p>\n

Keynote speakers Sec. Antonia “Toni” Yulo-Loyzaga of the Department of Environment and National Resources (DENR), Maria Isabel Garcia<\/span>, Chairperson of WWF Philippines, provided the context for ambitious action which are the global double emergency of biodiversity loss and climate change, and the delivering the country’s climate commitments.<\/p>\n

According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), global emissions need to be reduced by 50 percent by 2030 to avoid significant climate-related catastrophes. The Philippines<\/span> is one of the signatories of the historic Paris Agreement on Climate Change and has committed to reduce the country’s carbon emissions by 75% by 2030.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
