What to expect at the premiere of ‘An Inconvenient Sequel’ on August 28

MANILA, Philippines – How close are we to achieving real energy solution?

A decade after An Inconvenient Truth mainstreamed the discussion on global warming, here comes its sequel to highlight the impact of climate change especially on vulnerable nations.

More than that, the documentary also illustrates the various solutions at hand. 

An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth to Power showcases Climate Reality Leadership Corps trainings, where people from all walks of life come to work with former US vice president Al Gore and other experts, learning key climate science and gaining the skills to lead their communities in the fight for climate solutions.

On Monday, August 28, the Climate Reality project is set to bring An Inconvenient Sequel to the Philippines – one of the most vulnerable nations to the impact of climate change.

The film will premiere at 6 pm on Monday, August 28, at Cinema 7 in Trinoma Mall.

What to expect 

Consider this a wake up call for those who still deny the reality of climate change.

At the film’s sequel premiere, we will go back to these questions: Why should Filipinos care about climate change? What can regular citizens do to decisively take a stand against the world’s common enemy? 

With our roster of Filipino advocates leading the discussion and fight against climate change, we will discuss both the challenges and the collective achievements of the nation in the past years.

We will also reflect on the country’s experience during the onslaught of Super Typhoon Yolanda (Haiyan) and how the global community has acted upon it. 

Speakers include Senator Risa Hontiveros, Senator Loren Legarda, former Senator Heherson Alvarez, CCC Secretary Emmanuel de Guzman, CCC Commissioner Vernice Victorio, PCUP Commissioner Joan Lagunda, French Embassy chargé d’affaires Laurent Legodec, Greenpeace Southeast Asia Executive Director Naderev Saño, and Father Edwin Gariguez, Goldman Prize Awardee and CBCP-NASSA Executive Secretary.

TV personalities Atom Araullo, PBB celebrity Cathy Rem, artist-activist Mae Paner, and Miss Universe 2013 runner-up Ariella Arena will also be at the event.

During the program, members of the audience will have the opportunity to ask questions to the speakers.
