00:00The Climate Change Commission also gave the importance of the National Adaptation Plan
00:05to prepare for any threat of changing times.
00:10Quenzel Bocobo of IBC 13 in the Details.
00:17Millions of individuals need to evacuate and hundreds of people are sick.
00:23This is just a few of the effects of the strong typhoon.
00:27The President said that this proves that the threat of climate change is continuing
00:32so even places that were not flooded before are now submerged in floodwaters.
00:38So, as a preparation for the upcoming Climate Change Awareness Week,
00:43the Climate Change Commission again discussed the importance of the National Adaptation Plan
00:49in accordance with the President's Directive.
00:52The President wants this to be localized, that's why we are preparing for localization.
00:58It is also important for us to consult with different agencies of our government
01:04because NAP is a product of inter-agency consultations.
01:10The opening of the Philippines is also included in NAP
01:14for the possible help of our bilateral partners and several parts of the international community.
01:20At NAP, we're opening the doors for our bilateral partners and also international agencies
01:27to provide three things.
01:29First, capacity building.
01:33Second, technology development and transfer,
01:36which is increasingly becoming important by way of early warning systems
01:43and also the science that deals with climate change.
01:46And third, climate finance.
01:48The CCC is also continuously coordinating with DILG, DENR, and other agencies
01:55to bring to the masses the importance of fighting climate change.
02:00The authority's role is big in reminding people
02:05about the possible dangers of a storm or any other disaster.
02:09But it is our responsibility to understand their warnings
02:14so that everyone can be safe.
02:16From IBC 13, Quenzel Bocobo for Balitang Pambansa.
