TOWARDS A GREENER ECONOMY

   TOWARDS A GREENER ECONOMY

Towards--a-greener-economy-webThe Philippines is well on its way towards a greener economy with the right policies in place, but the country needs to address bottlenecks in implementation and attract more investments, as well as scale up or accelerate systems related to sustainable production and consumption of goods and services. This was the gist of the discussion in the open forum during the recent launching of the European Union (EU)-funded Switch-Asia Project at the Eastwood Richmonde Hotel in Quezon City. On hand to answer the questions are (from left): Hans Farnhammer, EU head of operations; Policy and Planning Undersecretary Manuel Gerochi of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources; and Energy Policy and Planning Bureau Director Jesus Tamang of the Department of Energy.
