The Philippines and New Zealand signed a joint declaration for sustainable development in the countries’ efforts to combat climate change, the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) announced on Friday.
The declaration sets a “low-emission, climate-resilient” framework for innovation, cooperation in job creation, investment opportunities, and economic growth within 18 months.
DENR said the agreement stemmed from New Zealand Prime Minister Christopher Luxon’s visit to Manila last April, when he met with President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. to discuss solutions to climate change, disaster risk management, food security, and renewable energy.
