THE Philippines will host the fourth board meeting of the United Nations' Fund for Responding to Loss and Damage in Manila on Dec. 2-5, Environment Secretary Maria Antonia Yulo-Loyzaga said on Friday.
President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. on Aug. 28 signed Republic Act 12019, or the Loss and Damage Fund Board Act, which enables the country to respond to and recover loss and damage caused by climate change. The law also authorizes the mobilization of broad and innovative sources of climate financing for this purpose.
