The Philippines is not yet part of the financing scheme which helps coal-dependent emerging economies shift to renewable energy, Energy Secretary Raphael Lotilla said as he called on the World Bank to support the country’s goal towards a clean energy transition.
“My challenge to the World Bank and our other development partners… that the green transition or the climate transition or securing a clean energy future must be a just and fair transition,” Lotilla said. “In this energy transition, I want to emphasize a number of things. First, our focus remains on Sustainable Development Goal 1 , which is the reduction of poverty and increasing the access of our people to energy,” Lotilla said.
“Cleaner energy future has many benefits. It is expected to lead to affordable energy. It is expected to enhance the competitiveness of the economy. The shift will reduce air pollution, an important benefit to public health,” Doorn said.
