TAMBULIG, Zambosur: The local government is
drawing public support to an upcoming climate change adaptation and mitigation forum.
The
DENR and PIA will conduct the said advocacy forum on Dec. 9 at the municipal
mayor’s office here.
Zambosur
information center head Claro Lanipa said PIA is helping the climate change advocacy
campaign pursued by the environment department.
About
100 preferred town officials, employees and some from the academe are invited
in the forum.
The
committee chairmen of barangay disaster risk reduction and management councils
are particularly requested to attend, added Lanipa.
The
PIA said they are bringing the climate change forum to the LGU after
round-table discussions were first held in public secondary schools.
Video
evidence depicting the origins and consequence of climate change will be shown
during the forum, said Lanipa.
Likewise,
municipal administrator Gilbert Colegado Jr. said he is delighted in behalf of
all Tambulig constituents owing to the fact that DENR and PIA chose them as the
primary LGU where the opportunity of putting in the picture of climate change
adaptation and mitigation will be made.
Tambulig
is a flood-prone municipality, and learning from the experts about climate change
help us adapt and lessen its impact and prevent the loss of lives and
properties, Colegado ended. (WITH REPORTS FROM GIDEON CORGUE)
