How the Marcos administration can turn words into action
As President Marcos Jr.’s upcoming SONA approaches, Greenpeace Philippines urges his administration to turn words into action by adopting a Climate Justice Agenda that prioritizes the survival and wellbeing of Filipinos, now and for future generations. With the triple planetary crisis—climate change, pollution, and biodiversity loss—escalating, it is crucial for the current administration to lead with a framework grounded in human rights and corporate accountability. The Climate Justice Agenda calls for decisive actions, including holding polluters accountable, securing reparations for loss and damage, and steering the country toward a sustainable and equitable future.
This agenda outlines specific demands, including the enactment of the Climate Accountability Bill, litigation against carbon majors, cancellation of harmful MOUs, and the implementation of the Climate Damages Tax. By addressing these issues, the Marcos administration can fulfill its vision of a prosperous, inclusive society where all Filipinos enjoy long and healthy lives.
