The New Calatagan

The biggest challenges to Human kind

This is not OK. Majority of our citizen are not really serious with regards to global problem that requires global solution. The next President should have a clear understanding of this problem and what solutions to pursue coz 68% of our population is located in coastal area which is front for SEA LEVEL RISE & Extreme storm surge. Why? Because the climate crisis is both the biggest challenge and biggest opportunity we will ever face as a nation and as a human family.

Last week March 14-16, 2016 58 countries with 600 plus participants attended the Leadership Training in Manila led by Mr. Al Gore, chairman of Climate Realty Project trying to replicate his advocacies to the leaders for Climate advocates. When Mr. Al Gore present his keynote presentation, Yes, i told to my self WOW.  but when he represent on the second and third, nothing new.  May expectation is i learned a lot on how to be a good leader in terms of Climate advocate, but my expectation is wrong.  The break out topic is greater than to the presentation of Mr. Al Gore coz the presentation of 2 presentors i attended are from the grass roots level.  The experiences to solved the problem of the effect of Climate change.  I admit there are new data from Mr. Al Gore presentation.  But on the title of the training as LEADERSHIP- nothing new.

For me,  in the END of that training is . . . we need to focus on the grass roots level.  With or without training, i believe majority of the participants from the Philippines knows how to managed the mitigation and adaptation mechanism base on the local approach that we did in our own locality. Like what i said NOTHING NEW.
