Greenpeace Philippines is demanding accountability from fossil fuel companies and action from world governments
Filipino climate advocates urged nations and governments in COP27 to act on the call for climate justice and institutionalize the “Loss and Damage” mechanism
"We will make sure that the cries of the victims of climate-induced disasters in the Philippines are heard,” said Franciscan priest Angel Cortez
SKDN also criticized the disbursement of a ₱160 million “disturbance fee,” saying it lacked transparency and created division among residents
“These individuals are ordinary people who simply seek to protect their right to live and work their lands,” the prelate added
Current structure encourages companies to continue using fossil fuels, as they profit even when they fail to supply electricity
The confrontation underscores growing pressure on global financial institutions to align their portfolios with climate goals
“We challenge aspiring leaders to show genuine commitment to protecting both our environment,” said Fr. Edwin Gariguez
