Philippines: The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) launched the Philippines’ first Cement and Concrete Decarbonisation Roadmap on 29 June 2026, the second of its kind in South East Asia, after Thailand’s. The roadmap sets out decarbonisation strategies with five-year milestones through to 2050. Strategies include increasing supplementary cementitious materials deployment, renewable energy consumption and energy efficiency, as well as installing carbon capture systems at cement plants. The Business Mirror newspaper has reported that the government of Canada, the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) and the Cement Manufacturers Association of the Philippines (CeMAP) all collaborated on drafting the roadmap, with funding from Environment and Climate Change Canada.
