PAGADIAN CITY, May 29
(PNA) -- The Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) is set to
reactivate the Regional Task Force on Climate Change for the Zamboanga
Peninsula.
This was announced by
DENR Regional Executive Director (RED) Arleigh Adorable citing the need to
reactivate the task force as some of its members coming from the different
government agencies have already retired from the government service.
Adorable said the
reactivation is also in preparation for the launching of information and
education campaign (IEC) on climate change scheduled to be held in June 10 this
year.
Adorable said the
Technical Working Group (TWG) and the Regional Secretariat will meet next week
to discuss about the reactivation of the Regional Task Force on Climate Change.
On Wednesday, 30
information officers coming from the different Community Environment and
Natural Resources Offices (CENROs) and Provincial Environment and Natural
Resources Officers (PENROs) as well as the Information Center Managers of the
Philippine Information Agency (PIA) from the region have attended an
orientation on climate change advocacy in this city.
DENR Regional Public
Affairs Officer Rosevirico Tan said the orientation was a collaborative effort
of the agency and that of the PIA.
Tan discussed during
the orientation about the Climate Change Advocacy (Perspective Change) while
Protected Areas and Wildlife Division (PAWD) chief Cidur Julsadjiri and PIA
Regional Director Noemi Edaga presented the Regional Communication Plan and
Regional IEC Plan on Climate Change, respectively.
A one-hour
documentary entitled “Chasing Ice” was shown during the orientation to provide
the participants a glimpse on the impact of global warming. (PNA)
