MANILA, Philippines – (UPDATED) The first day of the summit focused on tapping the bayanihan spirit of the youth in fighting climate change. The second day emphasized the importance of local governments’ preparation to reduce the risks and damages brought by climate change.

On the third day of the National Climate Change Consciousness Week, November 27, the Climate Change Commission (CCC) focuses on the private sector and the role of businesses in climate change adaptation.

CCC secretary Lucille Sering on Monday, November 25, said climate change adaptation presents new economic opportunities as industries move towards cleaner and greener technology.

“What we don’t know is that climate change tied with growth can offer more opportunities for our country especially now that the world is moving towards a clean and green environment,” she said.

Businessmen, investors and policy-makers will be attending the last day of the 3-day summit at the Mall of Asia SMX.
