Advance the body of knowledge on biodiversity and climate change through cutting-edge research.”
This was stressed by Dr. Juan M. Pulhin, the University of the Philippines Los Banos (UPLB), during the formal Opening Program.
The esteemed UPLB forestry professor Pulhin urged all convention participants on their key roles in their respective endeavors to pursue programs and projects that concretely help address the issues of biodiversity and climate change.
Given the scenarios of the modern environment, educators and entrepreneurs have the potent role to promote strong science and policy action interlink. For this concern, engaging the decision makers from the government institutions like DENR, NEDA and other key institutions can help.“We are given two choices—we wait and see until catastrophe overtake us or be more proactive and provide social checks and balance to correct the structures,” Pulhin said.
Everyone was urged on his important role to play to take the second choice. After all, the future of the generations depends on preparing and adapting to climate change.
