The question now is this: Has the Marcos Jr. administration done enough to enable effective climate action in the Philippines?In recognition of the evolving climate-related challenges and needs, different branches and agencies of the government are developing new bills and plans to address them.

Covering sectors such as agriculture, health, biodiversity, human settlements, and cultural heritage, it also defines outcomes and activities for the country to achieve its national development targets while enhancing resilience.
First, there is the incoherence of the supposed climate policies being championed by the current leadership. This is most evident in Marcos’ preferred energy options: a combination of renewable energy , nuclear, and fossil gas to replace coal as the dominant parts of the country’s energy mix.
