Change against climate change is difficult for any sector, but change we must if we want to overcome its worsening impacts. Businesses are not exempted from this responsibility.There are several plans and policies that the Philippine government is developing to address climate-related issues involving the private sector. All of these are in line with the country’s goal of low-carbon, climate-resilient development.
