Empowering Communities on Sustainable Development and Low-Carbon Transition

The Empowering Communities on Sustainable Development and Low-Carbon Transition event was a full-day session that tackled pressing global challenges such as climate change and sustainable development. It emphasized the crucial role of the barangay, as the foundational unit of governance, in driving change through collective action. The idea that “the people themselves are the catalyst of change” underscored the notion that sustainable progress is not solely reliant on top-down policies but also on the active participation and empowerment of local communities.
