Marcos reiterates the demand to combat climate change with environmental protection.
To strengthen the nation’s fight against climate change, President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. has emphasized the significance of adopting more environmental protection programs.
Initiatives like planting trees, according to Marcos, would assist the nation’s effects to be lessened.
“Ang Arbour Day na ginugunita tuwing June 25 ay ang kampanya para sa pagpapahalaga sa ating mga puno sa pamamagitan ng pagtatanim ng mga puno at halaman,” he said in a weekly vlog posted on his official Facebook page on Saturday.
“Ang Arbour Day is solemnly observed in honour of the patuloy’s pag-aayos and pag-alaga of the abutting kagubatan.We are celebrating Arbour Day to preserve the forest because climate change has a particularly dire impact on the country’s forests. The new Philippines must protect the environment now that the effects of climate change are getting greater),” he continued.
Every year on June 25, the Philippines observes Arbour Day by planting trees and decorative plants and engaging in other pertinent activities that support a better ecology.
All government organizations and institutions, the commercial sector, educational institutions, civil society organizations, and the general public must plant trees as part of the environmental rehabilitation and regreening process under Presidential Proclamation 396, signed in 2003.
Albert Dela Cruz Sr., a commissioner on the Climate Change Commission, emphasized the need for quick climate action in a separate statement on Saturday to address the grave health concerns facing the general populace, particularly the extremely disadvantaged and marginalized segments.
This year, the Philippines has set aside USD 8.2 billion, or 9% of its total national budget, for programs aimed at reducing the effects of climate change.
According to predictions made by the World Health Organisation (WHO), between 2030 and 2050, climate change would result in an additional 250,000 annual fatalities due to heat stress, malaria, diarrhea, and malnutrition.
According to a WHO report, direct health damage costs will range from USD 2 billion to USD4 billion annually by 2030. Regionals with poor health infrastructure, typically in developing nations, will be the least equipped to handle things independently.
