PH tampok sa worldwide event vs climate change

- Ellalyn De Vera-Ruiz

Ang Pilipinas, kasama ang iba pang bansa, ay itatampok sa worldwide event na nakatuon sa mga pagsisikap at solusyon ng iba’t ibang sektor upang aksiyunan ang problema sa klima.

Iho- host ni dating US Vice President at Climate Reality found and chairman Al Gore, ang 24 Hours of Reality: Be the Voice of Reality, na gaganapin sa Disyembre 4-5, ay aalamin ang extraordin­ary climate activism na nangyayari sa iba’t ibang panig ng mundo, hinihikaya­t ang milyun-milyong manonood na magmungkah­i ng solusyon.

“We stand at a pivotal moment in our mission to solve the climate crisis,” sabi ni Gore.

“While the Paris Agreement gave the world a critical framework for solving the crisis, it’s up to us – concerned citizens of all background­s – to keep this progress going, no matter what actions the Trump Administra­tion takes. This year’s 24 Hours of Reality broadcast will highlight empowered citizens taking action across the world, and will inspire those watching to use their own voices to be part of the solution,” dagdag niya.

Ang Pilipinas ay itatampok sa 8th Hour (2:00 sa Maynila) ng 24 Hours of Reality, kung saan tatalakayi­n ang hustisya sa klima at inimbitaha­n ang mga bigating Filipino leader kabilang sina Senator Loren Legarda, Manila Observator­y executive director Dr. Antonio La Viña, at Greenpeanc­e Southeast Asia Executive Naderev Saño.

“After typhoon Haiyan (Yolanda) became the strongest tropical typhoon to ever make landfall and ripped through the Philippine­s in 2013, taking the lives of thousands and inflicting billions in damage, there was no question about the reality of climate change. The only question was what to do,” ayon kay Rodne Galicha, Philippine manager ng Climate Reality Project.

Magsisimul­a ang programa sa Disyembre 4 sa ganap na 6:00 ng gabi at isasahimpa­pawid sa New York City’s Roosevelt Island.
