In celebration of the
upcoming National Climate Change Consciousness Week (NCCCW), the Department of
Environment and Natural Resource Climate Change Service (DENR-CCS) pushes
through with its fully-loaded activities--most of it to be held virtually--from
November 19 to 27, 2020, while the COVID-19 is still present in the country.
With this year’s theme “Adapting for a Sustainable Future”, this annual
celebration aims to create awareness on global warming and climate change by
pursuing broad and intensive public information and education campaigns to
secure the cooperation of the private and public sector.
Climate
change is a serious problem and the effects can clearly be seen through new and
extreme weather. I think that many people have under estimated climate change,
because they automatically associate it with global warming and do not believe
that it is real. However, it is a huge and growing concern. These
climatic changes are having various impacts on the ecosystem and
ecology. Due to these changes, a number of species of plants and animals have
gone extinct. Education is one of the essential element of the global
response to climate change. It helps people understand and address the impact
of global warming, increases “climate literacy” among young people, encourages
changes in their attitudes and behaviour, and helps them adapt to climate
change related trends. Education and awareness-raising enable informed
decision-making, play an essential role in increasing adaptation and mitigation
capacities of communities, and empower women and men to adopt sustainable
lifestyles.
Let us raise awareness in our fellow Filipinos. Encourage climate change awareness to them by focusing on local or regional impacts. Highlight the changes that they might not noticed. Because climate impacts vary, we need to be alert for climate change impacts in our region. Let us spread awareness on dealing this problem. Each and everyone of us could make a change. We need to act now.
