The Philippines has been a strong voice in the call to action to address the climate crisis, as it has likewise taken important steps to deliver on its climate change commitments. At COP28, the President of the Philippines, H.E. Ferdinand R. Marcos, Jr., will announce that the Philippine Government is completing the Philippines’ National Adaptation Plan (NAP) and the Implementation Plan for the Philippines’ Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC IP).
