Youth participation is critical in drafting the Implementing Rules and Regulations of Republic Act No. 11898 or the Extended Producer Responsibility Act and crafting more policies that will enable a circular economy. This was emphasized in our column Eleventh Hour this week written by our Communications Officer, Mary Jane San Juan.
In our column Eleventh Hour, Pinoy Climate Reality Leader Rommel Miles Corro wrote about his journey of becoming a staunch advocate of sustainable mobility and climate action.
The enactment of the Magna Carta for Commuters will ensure the rights of the public, especially pedestrians, cyclists, and persons with disabilities, to safe, convenient, and affordable transport services and infrastructure, advocates said during #FreeToMove: Advocacy and Movement Building Workshop on Sustainable Urban Mobility recently held in Baguio City.
In advance of the celebration of World Car-Free Day, cycling advocates and the local government of Baguio City counted cyclists in seven areas in the city from September 17-19, 2022. They undertook this count to establish baseline data on the number of residents using bicycles for daily transport, to help local policymakers make informed decisions on transport route network planning.
Over 500 cycling volunteers across the country joined this year’s June Bicycle Count today to help establish baseline data indicating the number of Filipinos using bicycles for daily transport.
In #EleventhHour this week, Pinoy Climate Reality Leader Celine Tabinga wrote about the urgent need to rethink the country’s transport systems in a way that can simultaneously respond to the needs of the majority while adopting a trajectory that focuses on low-carbon and climate-resilient infrastructure.
