Legarda urges: Redefine climate era development
Senator Loren Legarda urged ASEAN nations to prioritize climate resilience, ecological stewardship, and human dignity in their development strategies.
Speaking at the ISEAS-Yusof Ishak Institute as the 83rd Lee Kuan Yew Exchange Fellow, Legarda highlighted Singapore's effective governance as a model for visionary long-term planning and resource management.
She contrasted Singapore's success with the Philippines' extreme vulnerability to climate change, noting that typhoons can devastate the nation's economy and development gains.
Legarda asserted that resilience and renewal are achievable through a more equitable distribution of burdens, leading to increased productivity and a flourishing nature-based economy.
