Abstract
The Philippines remains in the minority of countries in the world that have yet to make a net zero emissions pledge. This policy gap leaves the country without a proper roadmap to keep pace with the global energy transition that will take place in the coming decades. In this perspective paper, we discuss the adverse implications of the failure to come to terms with deep decarbonization.
