据一篇评论文章称，菲律宾仅贡献全球排放量的0.46%，在追求净零目标的同时必须优先考虑发展。
菲律宾处于全球气候辩论的道德悖论中心：它仅产生全球温室气体排放量的0.46%，却位列最易受气候风险影响的国家之一。在Rappler的一篇评论文章中，Val A. Villanueva认为，要求发展中经济体迅速实现净零承诺，对行星温度的影响微乎其微，却给家庭和企业带来沉重成本负担。“即使该国奇迹般一夜之间实现净零，全球变暖的轨迹也将基本不变，”他写道。
净零是指排放到大气中的温室气体与移除的量相平衡。对于菲律宾，真正的气候正义不在于象征性目标，而在于保障发展、确保负担得起电力，并防止电力成为富人奢侈品的政策。Villanueva主张全方位能源战略：积极扩大可再生能源，同时维持煤炭和天然气等来源的可靠基础负荷电力，直至能源存储变得可行且成本效益高。
“负担能力必须是真正的北极星，”他强调，因为高电价助长通胀、阻吓投资并侵蚀就业。发展本身是抵御气候冲击的最强防御，促进韧性和适应能力。最终，纪律严明的务实主义是构建足够强劲经济体、实现脱碳化过渡而不崩溃的关键。

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.
AI需求的上升正在推动全球数据中心增长，对电力和可持续性产生重大影响。在菲律宾，政府正在推动更多数据中心建设以实现数字化转型目标，但该国炎热的气候为冷却和能源使用带来了挑战。

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.
Global greenhouse gas emissions reached a new high in 2024, signaling the planet's approach to an environmental tipping point. Current coral bleaching events serve as a severe climate warning, amid ongoing rises in emissions despite scientific calls for reductions.

Climate risks, exemplified by recent Los Angeles wildfires, are destabilizing real estate markets, straining public budgets, and eroding household wealth. Insurers' retreat from high-risk areas like California, Florida, and the Midwest highlights systemic financial pressures. Meanwhile, investments in clean energy technologies continue to surge, offering pathways to resilience.
