Section 16 of the 1987 Philippine Constitution declared that the

State shall protect and advance the right of the people to a balance
and healthful ecology in accord with the rhythm and harmony of
nature. It is in this statement where the creation of the Republic
Act (R.A.) No. 9729 otherwise known as the Climate Change Act
of 2009 was built upon. The law which was enacted on July 27,
2009 was primarily conceived as the country's response to the
worldwide phenomenon on climate change. Towards the
attainment of this goal, R.A. No. 9729 allowed mainstreaming of
climate change into government formulation of programs and
projects, plans and strategies, and policies, creation of Climate
Change Commission, and establishment of Framework Strategy
and Program for climate change.
 Paris Agreement

The Paris Agreement is a legally binding international

treaty on climate change. It was adopted by 196 Parties at
COP 21 in Paris, on 12 December 2015 and entered into
force on 4 November 2016.

Its goal is to limit global warming to well below 2,

preferably to 1.5 degrees Celsius, compared to pre-
industrial levels.

To achieve this long-term temperature goal, countries aim

to reach global peaking of greenhouse gas emissions as
soon as possible to achieve a climate neutral world by
mid-century.
 Nationally Determined Contribution
President Rodrigo Duterte has approved the country’s first Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC),
which sets a 75-percent greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction and avoidance by 2030, as part of the
Philippines' commitment to the Paris Agreement on Climate Change.

“The target is based on the country’s projected business-as-usual cumulative economy-wide emission of 3,340.3 metric
tons (MT) of carbon dioxide equivalent (MtCO2e) for the same period,” the Department of Finance said in a statement

The UN estimates that 1.3 billion tons a year of food
MINIMIZING — one third of world production — ends up as rubbish
FOOD WASTE before it even gets to the table. Meanwhile, 10.5% of
humanity is suffering from malnutrition, 26% are
obese and the greenhouse gases (GHG) from the food
industry account for 25 to 30% of the total emissions
that have led to today's climate crisis.

According to research, lighting contributes to about

LED lighting could keep tons of greenhouse gases out
of the air and minimize the number of power stations.
MITIGATING THE EFFECTS OF CLIMATE

Carrying bags to the store consumes extra energy. The
CARRYING majority of this energy is generated by the combustion
ECO-BAGS of hydrocarbons, which emits carbon dioxide and
other greenhouse gases into the environment. Using
reusable bags results in less plastic being
manufactured, which reduces carbon dioxide
emissions.

We frequently ignore the impact that lowering our UNPLUGGING

consumption on electricity might have on the

environment. The fact is that unplugging unused
electronics helps us lessen our carbon footprint, as the
majority of our electricity is generated by fossil fuels.
That lugged unused appliances' energy amounts for
10% of total electricity usage.
