TODAY'S EDITORIAL: Public views on climate change are a policy opportunity
A NEWLY released study by the International Monetary Fund has revealed that there is widespread awareness of climate change issues among Filipinos, and overwhelming support for government action on climate change adaptation and mitigation. This is certainly heartening news in the face of persistent disinformation about climate change, but more importantly, it is a clear signal to the government that the time to ramp up its climate response is now.
The IMF study did devote a significant amount of attention to public perceptions of carbon pricing concepts and policies, which is a complex topic that might be best discussed separately, particularly since the government currently has no carbon pricing policies, nor any apparent plans to formulate them in the foreseeable future.
