Salceda, chair of the House Committee on Ways and Means, noted that “Typhoon Paeng wasn’t supposed to be that strong, and yet killed dozens of people due to stronger than expected floods.”
Loss and damage, in international climate law, refers to the permanent loss or reparable damage caused by climate change, including extreme weather events like typhoons, as well as slow-onset events such as sea-level rise, Salceda explained. “Due to climate risks, we are now the most at-risk country in the world according to the 2022 Global Risk Report. Arguably, nobody is more affected by climate change than we are. If we are soft on this position, we throw other climate-vulnerable countries under the bus. So, we have to be strong on loss and damage,” Salceda added.
