Marcos: Developed countries must ‘do more’ in addressing climate change

President Ferdinand ”Bongbong” Marcos Jr. on Thursday said developed countries should “do more” when it comes to addressing the impacts of climate change. 

Marcos made the remark during his address before the Australian Parliament in Canberra.

”Now, more than ever, we need multilateralism to work. This is particularly important given the scope of global cooperation needed to address our most pressing vulnerability – one that threatens the very survival of our peoples, one that threatens our very future. I speak, of course, of climate change,” Marcos said. 

”This glaring disproportion between our share of responsibility and our vulnerability reflects an injustice that must be corrected. Developed countries must do more. And they must do it now,” he added. 

The country’s Department of Environment and Natural Resources said the Philippines is “most qualified” to host the Loss and Damage Fund because it is a living testament to the effects of climate change. —VAL, GMA Integrated News
