CLIMATE AND ENVIRONMENT COP26 and the Philippines Coverage by Gaea Katreena Cabico The two weeks in Glasgow, Scotland can set the direction for the world—and Earth—in the decades to come. Our reporter, Gaea, is there for the climate summit that gathers political and industry leaders, scientists and experts as well as activists from all over. (Follow her LIVE coverage here.) Why it matters: The Philippines is no foreigner to powerful cyclones and destructive floods, but climate change can worsen possibilities. It is fourth on the list of countries most impacted by climate change. Filipinos are thus likely to bear the brunt of unsustainable practices and environmental abuse of wealthier nations. This makes concessions made at the highest levels of leadership a "matter of life and death," especially for poorer Filipinos.
