Klima Eskwela goes to Lapu-Lapu City, empowers youth to champion climate and waste solutions

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.

Eight years after 192 countries agreed to stop global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius, the world is still far from making this a reality.
