In celebration of the International Day of Education, our first #RealiTalk for 2022 aims to highlight the critical role of education in raising a generation of advocates for climate action and sustainable development in the country.
In this regard, we talked to Pinoy Climate Reality Leader and Mentor Rey “McRey” Sario on how to advance climate change education for elementary and high school students.
For our last #Realitalk feature for 2021, we talked to Pinoy Climate Reality Leader Daphne Siega on the need for a disability-inclusive approach when taking action to address climate change.
In line with the observance of the Climate Change Consciousness Week from 19 to 25 November, we talked to Pinoy Climate Reality Leaders Jonathan John “Jt” Maldupana, Hiasma “Yasi” Gani, and Geraldine “Gera” Cortez about the critical role of local climate change adaptation and mitigation planning in addressing the prevailing climate crisis.
This year’s International Day of the Girl Child aims to celebrate adolescent girls who are making waves in the tech and digital world while emphasizing the need to close the gender digital divide.
In line with this, this month’s Realitalk features our conversation with Pinoy Climate Reality Leader Pauline De Guzman about the urgent need to provide young Filipino girls, specifically those in low-income areas, equal access to technology, connectivity, and digital skills.
Pauline, who works currently works at the United Nations Children’s Fund, delved into how digital connectivity and access to technology could further empower girls to have agency and control in building a brighter future and in participating in climate change adaptation and mitigation initiatives.
In observance of International Day of Democracy, this month’s #Realitalk delved into the urgent need to prioritize the needs of the majority of Filipinos who do not have cars and to promote a culture of feedback, data generation, and collaboration to make urban mobility systems more optimal for every Filipino commuter.
In this feature, Pinoy Climate Reality Leader Golda Hilario talked about why mobility is a feature of democracy and how the Philippines are faring so far in terms of addressing gaps in its urban transport system.
This year’s observance of International Youth Day aims to highlight the crucial role of the youth in transforming food systems for human and planetary health.
In line with this and for this month’s Realitalk, we reached out to our very own Youth Cluster Coordinators (Dani Madriaga, Keith Ancheta, Ivana Joaquin, Justin Federigan, Ruzzel Morales, and Bea Dolores) to talk about the current state of the country’s food systems and the many ways the youth are contributing to effectively address food insecurity amid the pandemic, rapidly declining ecosystems, and the prevailing climate emergency.
