Deputy Speaker and Antique lone District Rep. Loren Legarda has re-echoed the call of the Global Commission on Adaptation (GCA) for world and business leaders to integrate climate adaptation and resilience into their economic stimulus and recovery packages to cushion the impact of COVID-19.

The House leader joined the GCA in seeking a “climate-resilient recovery from COVID-19.”

“As the GCA has observed, the COVID-19 pandemic has tragically exposed the risks humanity faces and how unprepared we are to respond,” she added. Composed of climate advocates and world leaders pushing to accelerate climate change adaptation, the GCA recognized that the threats arising from the COVID-19 pandemic in terms of people’s health, well-being, and livelihoods will likely be multiplied by the worsening impact of the climate crisis with more extreme storms, droughts, heat waves, food crises and diseases, Legarda noted.

The GCA seeks to raise the profile of adaptation work by bringing together stakeholders and investments along seven Action Tracks: locally-led adaptation, urban resilience, water resources management, social safety nets, food security, nature-based solutions, and disaster prevention, she said.
