For this month’s #RealiTalk issue, we talked to Pinoy Climate Reality Leader Samantha Geraldine “Geri” De los Santos on the impacts of climate change on fishing communities and the need to mainstream and deploy local adaptation solutions in these areas.
Mindanao Coordinator Marisol Tuso wrote about the link between the transmission of malaria and climate change.
In celebration of National Women’s Month, we talked to Pinoy Climate Reality Leader Danica Marie Supnet about making climate change adaptation actions responsive to the needs and interests of women.
The enactment of the Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity or Expression (SOGIE) Equality Bill, also known as the Anti-Discrimination Bill, will ensure a more equitable and rights-based response to climate-related disasters. This was emphasized during the 31st episode of The Climate Reality Project Philippines’ Klimatotohanan webcast series entitled “Coming Out for Environmental Rights and Gender Equality: How LGBTQ+ Activism Intersects with Climate Action.
As the climate crisis continues to adversely impact agriculture and food systems, women should take more space in making the sector more sustainable and climate-smart. This was emphasized by women leaders, movers, and advocates in the agriculture and food sector during the 25th episode of The Climate Reality Project Philippines’ Klimatotohanan webcast series entitled “Making Women Count: Why Gender Matters in Building Climate-Resilient Food Systems”, where they zeroed in on the interlinkages between gender, climate change, and sustainable food systems.
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.
