In a recent passionate plea, Senator Loren Legarda, a leading environmental advocate in the Philippines, emphasized the critical link between the health of our planet and the survival of future generations.
“We must stop just thinking about today because the quality of life of the next generations is at stake,” Legarda asserted. “It’s time to do our small part as we are all accountable for the environment.” Legarda’s call to action comes in the wake of the recent devastating El Niño phenomenon that wreaked havoc across the country, causing billions of pesos in damage to agriculture, livelihoods, and severely affecting both human and animal life.
According to the most recent Global Report 2024 of the Internal Displacement Monitoring Center, disasters displaced an additional 26.4 million people in 2023 alone. This alarming statistic underscores the urgent need for concrete environmental actions.
