Marcos Jr. calls for global climate action at UN

President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. urged a "united effort" from all nations at the 77th UN General Assembly to tackle climate change, describing it as the "greatest threat" facing humanity.

He highlighted the historical injustice of climate change, noting that countries with minimal carbon emissions, like the Philippines, are disproportionately affected by its devastating impacts.

Marcos pointed out that the Philippines, despite being a carbon sink, ranks as the fourth most vulnerable nation to climate change effects.

While agreeing with the President's call for global action, the Power for People Coalition urged Marcos to "walk the talk" and ensure his administration is also doing its part.

The President stated that the Philippines accepts its share of responsibility and is preparing for the future by laying the governance framework to harness renewable energy.
