The Philippines needs a comprehensive climate change action plan to build a climate-resilient country, Lopez-led First Philippine Holdings Corp. said on Wednesday.
Lopez said almost every major developed city has a climate change action plan. Tokyo, for instance, has its network of underground tunnels and cathedral-sized cisterns that can divert flooding with high-speed pumps that can empty a 50-meter Olympic-sized pool in seconds. “Decarbonization has many aspects; it’s not just energy. It also includes agriculture, waste, food… I mean, DENR [Department of Environment and Natural Resources]. That one crosses many.
