DENR on Climate Change Act

Department of Environment and Natural Resources Secretary Jose L. Atienza, Jr. says:

 

THE IMPORTANCE OF THE CLIMATE CHANGE LAW – SECRETARY LITO ATIENZA

October 26, 2009

 

The Climate Change Act of 2009, which President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo signed into law, puts local government units into the center stage of governance, given the important roles city, town, and barangay leaders play in the implementation of whatever plans and programs on climate change adaptation and mitigation measures that will be crafted by a body tasked under the new law.

 

The substance and efficacy of Republic Act (RA) 9729 will only be as good as those executing climate change measures. The new law may even be a potent tool in bringing about a stronger green-minded electorate because of the centrality to local elected officials in mainstreaming the climate change agenda into their platforms of governance at the provincial and down to the barangay level.

Typhoon Ondoy and the 2010 HMES Conference in Manila

We would like to encourage the Philippine Government, Asian Governments, combines like the United Nations, ASEAN and financial institutions World Bank, Asian Development Bank, to support this milestone activity from the remainder of 2009 up to 2010.

ANNUAL ECOLOGY CRISIS CONFERENCE

The Resource Recovery Movement will hold the first 2010 Hazards Mapping and Environment Summit (Eco 2010 Summit) in Manila, Philippines.

This is ultimately borne about by the tremendous changing of the Philippine landscape and those of other countries in the Pacific Rim in the last few decades.

All efforts towards risk mapping in relation to calamities and disasters in the past should now take into consideration the great shifts and transformations in land mass, the enormous amount of rainfall brought about by Climate Change and many new factors that were heretofore not factored into national and sub-national planning by governments as well as even by business establishments and non-government organizations.

The 2010 Hazard Mapping and Environmental Summit (HMES) is intended to develop better approaches to mapping risks and dangers to communities in the Philippines and other countries with tropical climates…  

Note: The organizers reserve the right to make minor changes in the Conference details prior to the actual Event.

TREASON!

it’s that time, the time of Ramadan and i cannot keep myself from reflecting, reflecting and reflecting. i don’t consider myself an exempted Muslim, though i don’t practice the rituals perfectly. to compensate, i do a little slowing down during Ramadan.

 

for whatever it’s worth, i decided to write in a blog about responses to certain incomprehensible and thoughtless, brainless attempts at writing by some low-crawling creatures. one of these several of responses to various pieces found in the internet is found here.
