In this month’s #Realitalk, we asked Climate Reality Leader Ferth Manaysay to talk about the nexus between climate change and disaster risk, progress and gaps on institutionalizing climate change adaptation (CCA) and disaster risk reduction (DRR), and the crucial role of open data and the youth in building resilience.
This year’s Pride Month is celebrated yet again against the backdrop of the worsening climate crisis.
Thus, in this month’s #Realitalk feature, we wish to bring forward real stories of how the impacts of climate change compounds the struggles of sexual and gender minorities in the country.
Thankfully, Climate Reality Leader Amiel Lopez graciously accepted our invitation to share his lived experiences, insights, and truths as a proud member of the LGBTQIA+ community and as a climate advocate.
The climate crisis is not just an environmental and development issue, but also a human rights issue that is indivisible to the sexual and gender minorities’ fight for equal rights and social justice.
Happy International Women’s Day! Today, we celebrate the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women and we challenge everyone to call out gender bias and inequality.
