26th Asia-Pacific Parliamentary Forum: Senator Loren Legarda at the Third Plenary Session: Regional Cooperation in Asia-Pacific of the 26th Annual Meeting of the Asia-Pacific Parliamentary Forum (APPF). Legarda, Head of the Philippine Delegation, explains the Philippine-sponsored “Resolution Calling for Regional Cooperation on Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) and Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation (CCAM),” which she authored. The Senator sought the adoption of the Philippine Resolution as a stand-alone document, stressing that its inclusion of DRR and emphasis on the need for national adaptation plans sent a distinct and important message that could not be subsumed under the other proposals, to which the body acceded. The Philippine Resolution was adopted as APPF26 Resolution No. 10.
