MANILA City — Climate advocates from civil society and development partners from the private and public sectors gathered at the 1st National Stakeholders Conference 2024 on the Green Climate Fund (GCF) held on June 27 to discuss and develop strategies for addressing the Philippines’ urgent need for sustainable and responsive action through climate financing.
The Philippines is identified as one of the most at risk countries to disasters caused by climate change. The country experiences an average of 20 tropical cyclones every year, with eight to nine making landfall. In the last decade, rampaging tropical cyclones resulted in Php 673.3 billion in losses and damages.
Because of climate change, the Philippines is also increasingly becoming exposed to longer and harsher dry seasons, invariably impacting economic activities and productivity due to effects on the health and well-being of Filipinos.
Beside me is a copy of the book, “The bases of our insecurity,” by Roland Simbulan, a noted U.P. scholar and nationalist. First published in 1985 at the height of Ferdinand Marcos Sr.’s martial law, it is the former’s seminal work on the presence of US military bases in the Philippines. I have kept the book all these decades in reverence to the academically reliable Simbulan, and in reluctant anticipation of a time when I’d gingerly want to open its pages anew.
Such a time has come today.
