Center for Disaster Preparedness Foundation celebrates NDRM 2024 with the Pangasinan Climate Change Summit
Urdaneta City – In celebration of National Disaster Resilience Month, CDPF invites everyone to “Voices of Change: Mobilizing Communities for Climate Resilience” a climate change summit to be held on July 24-25, 2024 in Calasiao, Pangasinan. The summit will focus on climate projections and realities in the province of Pangasinan, the largest catchment area of the 5th largest river basin in the Philippines, Agno River.
Supported by the USAID Bureau of Humanitarian Assistance (BHA), this event is part of CDPF’s project in partnership with the Provincial Government of Pangasinan on Scaling Across Integrated Risk Management at National and Local Levels (SAIL). The summit is expected to gather local leaders, academe, non-government organizations (NGOs), and representatives of vulnerable groups from the project’s partner areas: the municipalities of Alcala, Bautista, Bugallon, Lingayen, Mangatarem, Rosales, Urbiztondo, and the city of San Carlos.
CDPF, a pioneer of community-based disaster risk reduction and management in the Philippines, recognizes the impact of climate change to disasters, fueling powerful storms and intense droughts. United in the NDRM 2024 theme of “Bantayog ng Katatagan at ang Pagbubuklod sa Layuning Kahandaan,” the summit will serve as a venue to bridge communities, government, academe, private, and non-government sectors in addressing climate change and increasing resilience.
The event features a discussion of climate scenarios, surfacing the impacts of climate change on agriculture, water, and environment, and battling climate apathy. USAID-BHA will also present its key climate change priorities in the Philippines and ways to become partners and receive technical assistance from the agency. There will also be workshops promoting sharing and collaboration among participants to reflect on the impacts of climate change in their lives and recommend actions for climate resilience.
Limited seats only. Send us an email at secretariat@cdp.org.ph to register.
