Honouring climate deals is rich countries’ moral obligations, says Philippines


MANILA (Philippines Daily Inquirer/ANN): The Philippines made a call ahead of the 2023 United Nations climate change conference in Dubai this December where President Ferdinand Marcos Hr. is expected to attend that it is a “moral obligation” of rich countries to honor climate deals like the Paris Agreement.

Robert Borje, executive director of the Climate Change Commission (CCC), told reporters on Friday the topics they would raise during the climate summit in Dubai would center “on what developing countries, like the Philippines, continue to experience” due to the worsening effects of climate change.
