Philippine Secretary for Environment and Natural Resources Maria Antonia Yulo Loyzaga underscored the need to accelerate the implementation of our climate agenda under the Paris Agreement at the Petersberg Climate Dialogue (PCD), which was held from 25 to 26 March 2025 in Berlin.
Secretary Loyzaga proposed increased access and delivery of the best science for localized solutions for those most at risk and the strategic pursuit of broad sources for climate finance along with the establishment of a robust ecosystem that ensures transparency and accountability for the mobilization of private finance. She likewise urged all parties to submit their updated Nationally Determined Contributions.
At the sidelines of the PCD, Secretary Loyzaga also met with officials of the German government, the United Nations and other bilateral partners.
PCD 2025 was co-chaired by Germany and incoming COP President Brazil. The PCD is an annual, high-level political forum aimed at fostering international cooperation and strengthening political consensus on climate action, preparing the ground for the UN Climate Change Conferences. END
