QUEZON CITY, April 16 (PIA) The Climate Reality Project Philippines (TCRP PH) has committed to work with the government following the Philippines’ first Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) under the Paris Agreement has been submitted on Thursday to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and is now available at the official NDC registry page.
The Philippines’ first NDC conveys that the Philippines shall reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 75 percent, 2.71 percent of which is unconditional, from 2020 to 2030, in the sectors of agriculture, waste, industry, transport, and energy.
“The Climate Reality Project Philippines reiterates its commitment to work in support of the government’s goal to reduce the country’s greenhouse gas emissions by 75% relative to 2010 levels and its aspiration to peak emissions by 2030, said Nazrin Castro, Branch Manager of TRCP PH, as she congratulated the Philippine Government for finally
