THE Philippine Infrastructure Summit, led by PwC Philippines and the Public-Private Partnership Center (PPPC) on November 14, highlighted the crucial role of infrastructure in meeting urgent decarbonization targets for the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region. Industry leaders emphasized the need for immediate action to combat climate change through sustainable infrastructure development.
Jennifer Tay, partner and APAC Infrastructure leader at PwC Singapore, presented a stark reality: the APAC region is responsible for 48 percent of global carbon emissions with 17 percent directly attributed to infrastructure development.
