As the popular Filipino adage goes, the youth is the hope of the country. Or, as they say in Cebu: ang kabataan ang paglaum sa nasud. When it comes to climate action, the youth have a crucial role to play as the Earth’s defenders.
To empower this generation of climate advocates in the Visayas region, The Climate Reality Project Philippines brought Klima Eskwela: Climate Science, Arts, and Action to Lapu-Lapu City College (LLCC) last August 15 and 16.

The third leg of the Choosing Renewables conference series in Bacolod City on 14-15 August 2024 organized an information campaign on various voluntary renewable energy programs and a public consultation on draft GEOP policy improvements.
