NEW YORK, USA- Nanawagan si Pangulong Ferdinand Marcos Jr. sa lahat ng bansa na tanggapin ang responsibilidad sa paglaban sa epekto ng climate change.
“I called on to all nations to take their “share of responsibility” in fighting climate change, and those who need to do more must act now,” bahagi ng talumpati ng Pangulong Marcos sa pagbubukas ng 77th session ng United Nations General Assembly.
Aniya, mahalagang matalakay kaagad ang climate action para sa kaligtasan ng buong mundo.
“Climate change is the greatest threat affecting our nations and peoples. There is no other problem so global in nature that it requires a united effort, one led by the United Nations,” ayon kay Marcos.
Aniya, ang mga epekto ng climate change ay hindi magkakatulad at kung pababayaan ito at hindi pagtutuunan ng pansin ay magdudulot ng matinding sakuna sa lahat.
“The effects of climate change are uneven and reflect an historical injustice: Those who are least responsible suffer the most. The Philippines, for example, is a net carbon sink, we absorb carbon dioxide than we emit. And yet, we are the fourth most vulnerable country to climate change,” dagdag ni Marcos.
“This injustice must be corrected, and those who need to do more must act now. We accept our share of responsibility and will continue to do our part to avert this collective disaster,” paghihimok pa ni Marcos.
Habang ginagawa na ng Pilipinas ang bahagi nito para harapin ang krisis na dulot ng climate change.
“We call on industrialized countries to immediately fulfill their obligations under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and the Paris Agreement to cut their greenhouse gas emissions, provide climate financing and technology transfer for adaptation for the most vulnerable and developing countries to lead by example,” ani Marcos.
