PH to join V20 group of countries vulnerable to climate change

“The creation of the V20 will initiate dedicated cooperation among ministers of finance of the Climate Vulnerable Forum (CVF) enabling vulnerable countries to steer a high-level policy dialogue pertaining to action on climate change and the promotion of climate-resilient and low-emission development,” the CVF said on its website.

The V20 grouping will be launched in Lima, Peru on Oct. 7-8, ahead of The World Bank Group and the International Monetary Fund’s 2015 annual meetings scheduled on Oct. 9-11.

Besides the Philippines, the 19 other upcoming members of the V20 are Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Barbados, Bhutan, Costa Rica, Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Kiribati, Madagascar, Maldives, Nepal, Rwanda, Saint Lucia, Tanzania, Timor-Leste, Tuvalu, Vanuatu and Vietnam.
