(article excerpts)
"With the Philippines as one of the most vulnerable countries in the world due to climate change, Saño urged the audience to “fight for our future.” He said climate change is affecting every aspect of life, with the impoverished communities as the most affected.
“We need the whole world to take action,” Saño said. He said the international climate change negotiations are little steps, but just too little to stop global warming.
Dulce said the people should transform this crisis into an opportunity “by organizing themselves to claim social, environmental and climate justice.”
The forum was part of the Political Science Week celebrations of the Department of Social Sciences, CAS, UP Manila."
