Rich industrial countries, transnational companies should be made responsible for carbon footprint, says labor group

“The Philippines contributes less than one percent in carbon emissions, yet we suffer the most from climate devastations,” Nagkaisa chairperson Sonny Matula said in a statement.

According to the group, preliminary estimate of damage from typhoon “Ulysses” has already breached P10 billion, while “Rolly” and “Quinta” left some P11B in total damages. “We’re running on a trillion peso deficit now due to COVID-19 and here these damages are, asking for the same attention and resources for recovery and rebuilding,” he said.
