Legarda gives support to COP26 demand for Climate Emergency Pact

House Deputy Speaker Loren Legarda expressed her support for the ‘Dhaka-Glasgow Declaration of the Climate Vulnerable Forum’ adopted at the High-Level Leaders’ Dialogue during the World Leaders Summit at the ongoing UN Climate Change Conference .

According to Legarda, more than 50 countries, including the Philippines, adopted the said Declaration in Glasgow, United Kingdom which urges the world and donor countries to step up adaptation, fix international climate cooperation, and keep the 1.5°C warming limit within reach. The Declaration calls for the outcome of COP26 to include a “Climate Emergency Pact,” along with a Delivery Plan for the annual $100 billion in climate finance from developed countries over the period 2020-2024 totaling $500 billion added the three-term senator.

The Declaration also calls for an annual 2030 Ambition Raising platform, where all world governments, especially the major carbon-emitting countries, are urged to come forward with new ambitions on adaptation and mitigations.
