PH far from ratifying Paris climate pact

Senator Loren Legarda on Thursday renewed calls for the government to ratify the Paris Agreement on Climate Change as a group warned that the country will lose its moral ascendancy if it rejects the global pact that came into force early this month.

Only 10 out of 33 the government agencies have submitted their certificate of concurrence (COC) to the pact, a requirement for the country to ratify the agreement.
