PH - US🇺🇸: convergence in #ClimateChange & #SustainableDevelopment
Senate President Pro Tempore Loren Legarda welcomed the United States (US) Congressional Delegation headed by Massachusetts Senator Edward J. Markey on Thursday, 18 August 2022.
Senator Legarda lauded the US for its return to the Paris Agreement in 2021, and passage of the Inflation Reduction Act featuring the ‘Green New Deal’ to avoid and address further catastrophic effects of climate change.
For his part, Senator Markey expressed the US' commitment to strengthen partnership with the Philippines, particularly on human rights, economy, military, and climate change.
The Philippines continues to work closely with partners, including the US, in ensuring global resilient pandemic recovery and combatting climate change through bilateral cooperation based on the principle of climate justice.
For more urgent and transformative climate actions, Senator Legarda emphasized the need to revisit the approach from ‘build-back-better’, to ‘Build Right At First Sight’.
Senator Markey regarded Senator Legarda as his “climate twin” for their shared passion in creating climate legislations.
Towards a Climate Smart and Climate Resilient Philippines by 2050, the Climate Change Commission looks forward to more robust relation and close convergence with partners such as the US.
