The Time Is Now: Why The Country Must Wean Itself Off Fossil Fuels

No doubt, one of the questions on the minds of many who attended was how to decrease our country’s dependence on fossil fuels, particularly in generating electricity. Fossil fuels are one of the main sources of greenhouse gases, which in turn drive climate change. The Philippines gets about 78% of its electricity from fossil fuels. This is significant when you consider the role of climate change in extreme weather events. Just last year, our country experienced a record-breaking typhoon season. No less than six storm systems hit our shores in less than a month, culminating in super typhoon Pepito. The result is some 200,000 Filipinos being displaced.
