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.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Keywords<\/h5>\n\n\n<div class=\"taxonomy-post_tag wp-block-post-terms\"><a href=\"https:\/\/transactions.nast.ph\/?tag=carbon-intensity\" rel=\"tag\">carbon intensity<\/a><span class=\"wp-block-post-terms__separator\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/transactions.nast.ph\/?tag=carbon-lock-in\" rel=\"tag\">carbon lock-in<\/a><span class=\"wp-block-post-terms__separator\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/transactions.nast.ph\/?tag=climate-justice\" rel=\"tag\">climate justice<\/a><span class=\"wp-block-post-terms__separator\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/transactions.nast.ph\/?tag=decarbonization\" rel=\"tag\">decarbonization<\/a><span class=\"wp-block-post-terms__separator\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/transactions.nast.ph\/?tag=net-zero-emissions\" rel=\"tag\">net zero emissions<\/a><span class=\"wp-block-post-terms__separator\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/transactions.nast.ph\/?tag=renewable-energy\" rel=\"tag\">renewable energy<\/a><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div data-wp-interactive=\"core\/file\" class=\"wp-block-file\"><object data-wp-bind--hidden=\"!state.hasPdfPreview\"  class=\"wp-block-file__embed\" data=\"https:\/\/transactions.nast.ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/TNP-2024_46_8_RR-Tan_Philippines-Net-Zero-Emissions-Commitment.pdf\" type=\"application\/pdf\" style=\"width:100%;height:1090px\" aria-label=\"Embed of TNP 2024_46_8_RR Tan_Philippines Net Zero Emissions Commitment.\"><\/object><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-7e0a7834-1179-4b36-bdc5-68a33034ea01\" href=\"https:\/\/transactions.nast.ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/TNP-2024_46_8_RR-Tan_Philippines-Net-Zero-Emissions-Commitment.pdf\">TNP 2024_46_8_RR Tan_Philippines Net Zero Emissions Commitment<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/transactions.nast.ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/TNP-2024_46_8_RR-Tan_Philippines-Net-Zero-Emissions-Commitment.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-7e0a7834-1179-4b36-bdc5-68a33034ea01\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Raymond R.
