As the world marks International Day of the Tropics, the Philippines has pledged to conserve 24 per cent of its land by 2040, but a severe shortage of forest rangers and chronic funding gaps threaten to keep the target out of reach.

The Philippines has lined up tens of gigawatts of offshore wind projects on in service contracts, is preparing to auction 3,300 megawatts more, and already has 178 megawatts in early development – strong signs of growing interest. How much of this will actually get built, however, is uncertain amid social implications, high costs, geopolitical tensions, and the unclear role of Chinese players.
