For the next 2015 United Nations Climate Conference slated on November 30 to December 11 this year, discussion will focus on the Intended Nationally Determined Contributions (INDCs) to address climate-change issues.<\/p>\n<p>Currently, the country\u2019s power mix is made up of 70 percent fossil fuels with 90 percent of coal and oil imported.<\/p>\n<p>According to WWF, the DOE can target to increase solar and wind energy installation.<\/p>\n<p>Last December, Philippine Climate Change Commission Vice Chair Lucille Sering said that the country aims to submit its INDC by June this year.<\/p>\n<p>The Philippines has advantages especially in terms of energy from geothermal, hydro, wind, and solar.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMost of our power rate jumps were caused by generation cost hikes. With fossil-fuel prices continually rising due to dwindling supplies and soaring demand, the cost of our electricity shall rise even further. The best solution is to use existing RE resources to shield us from the cost volatility of fossil fuels,\u201d says WWF-Philippines Climate Change Head Gia Ibay.<\/p>\n<p>WWF, in 2013, launched a campaign dubbed \u201cSeize Your Power.\u201d It encourages financial institutions, private investors, pension funds, and governments to support affordable RE sources.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MANILA \u2013 The World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF-Philippines) urged the Department of Energy (DOE) to make use of the &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":44,"featured_media":33829,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[95],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-38299","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-news-ph","mauthors-lei-fontamillas","mauthors-philippine-canadian-inquirer"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38299","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/44"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=38299"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38299\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/33829"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=38299"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=38299"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=38299"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
