Climate Change
The Earth's climate is changing faster than at any other time in modern civilization's history, owing primarily to human activity. Global climate change has already had a wide range of effects across the country, with many sectors of the economy expected to grow in the coming decades.

Climate Change Action
Transportation
The transportation sector encompasses all movement of people and goods. Almost 50 percent of Philippines greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions can be attributed to this sector, and the overwhelming share of these emissions are from CO2 emitted as the result of burning transportation fuels derived from petroleum.
Electricity
Approximately 25% of global CO2 emissions are emitted from electricity generation through the combustion of fossil fuels to generate heat needed to power steam turbines. Burning these fuels results in the production of carbon dioxide (CO2)—the primary heat-trapping, “greenhouse gas” responsible for global warming.
Industry
Industry (25 percent of 2019 greenhouse gas emissions) – Greenhouse gas emissions from industry primarily come from burning fossil fuels for energy, as well as greenhouse gas emissions from certain chemical reactions necessary to produce goods from raw materials.
