ASEAN hinimok ni PBBM Jr., na mawagan ng climate action

Jakarta, Indoensia – Hinikayat ni Pangulong  Marcos Jr. ang mga bansang kasapi sa  Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) na manawagan sa mga mauunlad na bansa na palakasin pa ang kanilang climate action.

Sa intervention ni Pangulong Marcos Jr., sa  43rd ASEAN Summit  ditong, sinabi nito malaking banta ngayon ang climate change na kailangan nang agad  tugunan. “The most urgent threat to our progress is the impact of climate change. It is a looming reminder of the injustice of disproportionate impact on our people,”  ani Pangulong Marcos Jr. “At the upcoming COP28, ASEAN must call on developed countries to heighten the implementation of their commitments. Their commitments that include climate finance, technology development and transfer, and capacity building in order to drive ASEAN’s capabilities to prevent, mitigate, manage and adapt to the impacts of climate change,” sabi pa niya. Sa bahagi ng Pilipinas, aniya,  binibigyan prayoridad ang international cooperation para sa ASEAN climate-smart at disaster-ready lalo’t laging tinatamaan ng kalamidad ang bansa. “In achieving food security, we must build on cooperation that will harness the transformative potential of our agricultural sector to ensure that food production is responsible and will be of benefit for future generations,” pahayag ni Pangulong Marcos. “The continued effectiveness of our community-building efforts rests on a clear assessment of our strengths. The Philippines will continue to champion for change that will strengthen our institutions, improve our decision-making, and uphold ASEAN Centrality,”sabi pa nito.
