Praktikal na diskarte ng Pilipinas sa net-zero emissions

Ang Pilipinas, na nagkakaroon ng mahalagang 0.46% lamang ng global emissions, ay dapat magmalasakit sa pag-unlad habang hinahangad ang net-zero, ayon sa isang opinyon.

Sa gitna ng global climate debate, ang Pilipinas ay nahaharap sa moral paradox: mababa ang ambag nito sa emissions ngunit mataas ang panganib mula sa climate change. Ayon kay Val A. Villanueva sa kanyang artikulo sa Rappler, ang mabilis na pagpunta sa net-zero ay maaaring magdulot ng pinsala sa ekonomiya nang hindi nakakaapekto sa global warming. 'Even if the country miraculously achieved net zero overnight, the trajectory of global warming would remain largely unchanged,' sabi niya.

Net-zero ay ang pagbalanse ng greenhouse gases na nailalabas at nakuha mula sa atmosphere. Gayunpaman, para sa isang developing country tulad ng Pilipinas, ang tunay na climate justice ay hindi sa symbolic targets kundi sa pagprotekta ng pag-unlad, pag-aaruga ng abot-kayang kuryente, at pag-iwas na maging pribilehiyo lamang ang kapangyarihan. Villanueva ay nagsusulong ng all-of-the-above energy strategy: agresibong pagtataguyod ng renewables habang pinapanatili ang reliable baseload power mula sa coal at gas hangga't hindi pa abot-kaya ang storage.

'Affordability must be the true north,' aniya, dahil mataas na singil sa kuryente ay nakakaapekto sa inflation, pamumuhunan, at trabaho. Ang pag-unlad mismo ay ang pinakamahusay na depensa laban sa climate shocks, na nagbibigay-daan sa resilience at adaptation. Sa huli, ang disiplinado na pragmatismo ay susi upang maging matibay ang ekonomiya habang nagte-transition patungo sa decarbonization nang hindi nagkakaroon ng collapse.

South Korea's Presidential Commission on Carbon Neutrality and Green Growth has approved a goal to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 53-61% from 2018 levels by 2035. This target is slightly higher than the government's initial proposal of 50-60%. The goal will be finalized at a Cabinet meeting on Tuesday and officially announced at COP30 in Belem, Brazil.

A new study indicates that the United States will need both green subsidies and carbon pricing to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. While subsidies can initially reduce emissions, they alone are insufficient without eventual taxes on carbon. Inconsistent policies across administrations could make the transition slower and more costly.

Experts recommend focusing limited green hydrogen supplies on industries like steel-making and ammonia production to maximize carbon emission reductions. A study analyzing 2000 global projects highlights these sectors as offering the greatest climate benefits, while uses in road transport and heating provide lesser impacts. With production forecasts low, strategic allocation is crucial for net-zero goals.
