While we recognize that this is a critical opportunity that issues of the African continent are highlighted, given the accelerating impacts of climate change globally; especially among early onset countries such as the Philippines, we simply cannot afford not to focus this COP on the Paris Accord "rulebook" or how things ought to be implemented after all the commitments and targets have been set since the Paris Climate Agreements.
We are seriously alarmed that the "... (T)he narrative so far in the build up to CoP27, however, has been skewed towards climate mitigation — an issue championed by the developed world which is keen that all countries, and not just historical emitters, should make drastic efforts to cut emissions." Indeed this is against the UNFCCC’s principle of Common but Differentiated Responsibilities and Respective Capabilities (CBDR–RC) which we here now re-affirms. While we are a low-emitter country (3/10 of 1% of global GHG emissions), the Philippines; nonetheless ranks 3rd to the worst affected by the ill effects of climate change now. As an early onset country to the impacts of climate change, our voice globally remains a powerful one and our delegation must continue to pursue these positions for global climate justice.
