Gore’s anti-coal sentiment ‘misplaced’ – FPI official

THE Federation of Philippine Industries (FPI) supports the goal of reducing the country’s greenhouse gases and mitigate climate change, but said the anti-coal power sentiment of former US Vice President Al Gore was misplaced.

In a statement, FPI said measures to mitigate climate change should be aligned with national priorities, circumstances and capabilities, which should be based on co-benefit measures such as programs for forestation.
