PH sounds alarm over water scarcity

THE Philippines underscored the urgent need for climate justice to successfully realize responsible global and regional partnerships ensuring water sustainability and sufficiency across regions.

At the recent plenary session of the 2nd Dushanbe Water Process Conference in Tajikistan, Climate Change Commission Secretary Robert Borje called attention to water scarcity as "one of the future global climate risks" and urged regional and global action to "formulate and implement water development strategies and trajectories in the era of climate change, up to the last mile and up to the last person."
