The Philippines has advanced critical reforms to accelerate climate finance access for developing nations at the 42nd Board Meeting of the Green Climate Fund (GCF) held from June 30 to July 3, 2025 in Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea.
The Philippines has obtained €250 million (about P15.79 billion) in concessional financing from the French government through the Agence Française de Développement (AFD), according to Finance Secretary Ralph G. Recto.
BPI received the distinction of achieving the “Highest Estimated Greenhouse Gas Emissions Mitigated” in the East Asia and Pacific region, reducing an impressive 1,754 thousand tons of carbon dioxide equivalent per year.
The Asian Development Bank (ADB) has approved a $500-million policy-based loan to strengthen the Philippines’ climate change mitigation and adaptation efforts.
MDBs estimated that by 2030, annual climate financing for low- and middle-income nations would reach $120 billion, while that for high-income countries will reach $50 billion yearly.
