Philippines falls behind in new climate policy, mitigation rankings
The Philippines has fallen to the 19th spot in the Climate Change Performance Index (CCPI), moving from a high performer to a medium performer.
The country still remains among the top 20 and is the only Southeast Asian nation in this group, ranking ahead of the European Union, France, Germany, and India.
While the Philippines received high ratings for Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Energy Use, it performed poorly in Climate Policy and Renewable Energy.
The delay in submitting its revised climate targets or nationally determined contributions (NDC) negatively affected the country's score, drawing criticism from Manila-based groups.
The Philippine Movement for Climate Justice called the delay a "not only a bureaucratic lapse but a political failure."
