President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. has called on fellow leaders to adopt policies that promote a green post-pandemic recovery, citing the “insufficient’ support to a green transition.
BANGKOK, Thailand—“My dear colleagues, as the world emerges from the downturn caused by the pandemic, it is evident that recovery has been uneven — perhaps even I would go so far to say it has been inequitable and insufficiently supportive of a green transition,” Marcos said in his intervention during the 29th APEC Economic Leaders’ Meeting retreat session on Friday, Nov. 18.
He then expressed support to the adoption of the Bangkok Goals on the Bio-Circular-Green Economy, which, he said, is a concrete initiative that will lead the Asia-Pacific region towards a sustainable future.” The BCG also aims to mitigate the scarring and future shock on the economy and tighten social cohesion by ensuring a well-distributed economic growth that benefits every household and that Philippine institutions remain responsive to the challenges posed by the current economic crises.
“We actively support the adoption of innovative and sustainable supply chain systems and circular economy models that can systematically collect non-biodegradable packaging and agricultural and industrial waste for recycling and upcycling,” Marcos said.
