Pursuant to Section 7 of Republic Act (R.A.) No. 9513, An Act Promoting the Development, Utilization and Commercialization of the Renewable Energy Resources and for Other Purposes, and Section 5 of its Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR), the Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) hereby adopts and promulgates these Feed-In Tariff (FIT) Rules. These Rules establish the FIT system and shall regulate the method of establishing and approving the FIT and the Feed-In-Tariff Allowance (FIT-All).

In recognition of the need to stimulate activity across different aspects of the enabling environment, or energy efficiency ‘ecosystem’, the Action Plan casts the Department of Energy as a coordinator, facilitator and technical advisor on energy efficiency, rather than as lead implementer. This Action Plan gives more detail to the Roadmap by articulating actions to 2020 that will set the Philippines in the path to greater energy efficiency. It contains a total of 39 initiatives across all energy using sectors, as well as key initiatives to establish a stronger institutional framework, build energy efficiency understanding and capacity in the finance sector, and establish performance monitoring frameworks. Taken together, they represent an ambitious leadership platform for a marked upswing in energy efficiency for the Philippines.

The Philippine Energy Efficiency Roadmap 2014-30 is a detailed outline of a strategic plan that is directed at creating a more energy-efficient Philippines across all sectors of economic activity, namely industrial, transport, commercial and residential. It is presented and is seen as a set of plans, strategies, and targets laid out on a yearly and per sector basis. The roadmap identifies overall vision, clear objectives and measurable targets; short, medium and long term potential actions, both cross-cutting and by sector; and plans for measuring and monitoring progress. The Roadmap also places a measure of importance on the development of activities in data collection, monitoring and evaluation, which has been observed to be rather limited. The objective is stated that the final energy demand of the country needs to be reduced by 10% cumulatively by the end of the 2011- 2030 period.

The Energy Efficiency and Conservation Act (Republic Act No. 11285) is to institutionalize energy efficiency and conservation, enhance the efficient use of energy, and grant incentives to energy efficiency and conservation projects.

The National Renewable Energy Program (NREP) outlines the policy framework enshrined in Republic Act 9513. It sets the strategic building blocks that will help the country achieve the goals set forth in the Renewable Energy Act of 2008. The NREP signals the country's big leap from fragmented and halting RE initiatives into a focused and sustained drive towards energy security and improved access to clean energy. The framework for the NREP emanated from individual work programs (i.e., the Sectoral Sub-programs) of each of the resources covered under RA 9513, namely: geothermal, hydropower, biomass, wind, Solar, and ocean. Other emerging RE technologies shall be included depending on their status of development and utilization. The NREP sets out indicative interim targets for the delivery of renewable energy within the timeframe of 2011 to 2030. Meeting the massive targets up to 2020 will be challenging as detailed planning, financing, and building of renewable energy infrastructure will have to be undertaken at a scale, and within a time frame, never done before. In particular, the NREP seeks to increase the RE-based capacity of the country to an estimated 15,304 MW by the year 2030, almost triple its 2010 level.

The white paper introduced China's policies and actions for addressing climate change, and the positive results achieved during that period, as well as China's overall arrangements to address climate change and its related negotiating position. The white paper says China accelerates the transformation of its economic development mode during its 11th Five-Year Plan period, and achieved remarkable results in controlling greenhouse gas emission by promoting industrial restructuring, energy restructuring and energy conservation, improving energy efficiency, and increasing carbon sink. This white paper includes eight parts: mitigating climate change, adapting to climate change, enhancing basic capability, participation of the whole society, participation in international negotiations, strengthening international cooperation, objectives, policies and actions during the 12th Five-Year Plan Period and China; Basic Position in International Climate Change Negotiations.

Under this Act, the State recognizes and promotes the rights of Indigenous Cultural Communities/Indigenous Peoples (ICCs/IPs) within the framework of national unity and development; In particular, the State protects the rights of ICCs/IPs to their ancestral domains to ensure their economic, social and cultural well being and recognizes the applicability of customary laws governing property rights or relations in determining the ownership and extent of ancestral domain. The Act creates a national commission on indigenous peoples, establishes its implementing mechanisms, appropriate funds therefor.

This Act establishes national integrated protected areas, their scope and coverage.

The purpose of this Act is to: develop and use indigenous renewable energy to reduce dependence on imported oil; reduce toxic emissions; and ensure the availability of alternative and renewable clean energy without causing any harm to the natural ecosystem, biodiversity and food reserves of the country.

This white paper on environmental protection in China reviews the actions for environmental protection and the development during 1996-2005. In particular, it explains China's environmental protection legislation and system, prevention and control of industrial pollution, pollution control in key regions, protection of the urban environment, protection of the rural environment, ecological protection and construction, economic policy and investment concerning the environment, environmental impact assessment, environmental science and technology, industry and public participation and international cooperation in environmental protection.
