employees of the national government and the local government units
(LGUs) to actively support the activities during the observance of the
Climate Change Consciousness Week from Nov. 19 to 25.
The Chief Executive issued Memorandum Circular No. 25 on Oct. 28, as
part of the efforts to create awareness on global warming and climate
change through broad and intensive information and educational
campaigns.
President Aquino underscored "the need to secure the collective
cooperation of all citizens as well as the collective action of the
private and public sectors at all levels in finding solutions to the
threats of a changing climate."
He tapped the Climate Change Commission (CCC) to spearhead the
observance of the Climate Change Consciousness Week in partnership
with the Cabinet Cluster on Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation
(CCAM).
"The Presidential Communications Operations Office (PCOO) and the
Public Information Agency (PIA) shall provide media support to the
event. Government offices are also enjoined to conduct related
activities during the said week," President Aquino said in the MC.
Mandated under Presidential Proclamation No. 1667, the observance of
Climate Change Consciousness Week aims to push the country's
commitment to achieve the goals of the United Nations Framework on
Climate Change Convention.
