继环境部长胡安·米格尔·库纳此前呼吁在第31届联合国气候变化大会（COP31）前建立统一的东盟立场之后，菲律宾总统费迪南德·马科斯在正在举行的东盟气候周开幕会议上，敦促加强区域在气候危机方面的合作。
马尼拉，菲律宾 —— 菲律宾总统费迪南德·马科斯在东盟气候周的开幕会议上呼吁加强与东盟的合作以应对气候危机，本次虚拟活动于4月27日至5月1日举行。“东盟处于全球气候危机的前线，更强的风暴、海平面上升、持续的干旱和破坏性的洪水已成为东南亚数百万人的现实，”马科斯表示。“应对这些挑战是我们共同的责任，东盟已经证明，通过合作，我们可以凭借集体的目标和决心克服共同的问题。”气候变化委员会（CCC）执行主任罗伯特·博尔赫也呼应了这一需求，强调需要“从零散的应对措施转向区域内更加一体化和协调的系统”，以解决气候风险。与此同时，根据国家气象局的报告，4月28日菲律宾有八个地区的热指数达到了“危险”级别，而农业部已重启“厄尔尼诺特别工作组”，以加强水资源管理和农业支持。
