The National Youth Commission (NYC) together with the Climate Change Commission (CCC) and the Yes Pinoy Foundation (YPF) will lead the celebration of the National Day for Youth in Climate Action or the #NowPh (Not on our Watch Philippines) Day on November 25, 2016.
This celebration is in line with Proclamation No. 1160 issued on November 12, 2015 declaring November 25 of every year as the “National Day for Youth in Climate Action.”
This year’s #NowPH celebration will feature arts and music as a means of expressing climate change issues to raise awareness and promote collective action. Young leaders, including indigenous people will join us as we express solidarity with the environment and call for more meaningful climate action.
The celebration is a one-day event with two major activities. The second activity will be a two-hour production showcasing the outputs of the group sessions with performances from mainstream young artists.
This will highlight the vital role of the youth sector in enhancing the resiliency of their local communities and observing the rights of indigenous tribes and vulnerable sectors.
The #NowPH Day celebration is supported by the United Nations Children Fund (UNICEF), United States Agency for International Development (USAID), and Eton Centris.(PR/posted by Becky D. de Asis - The Redline News Philippines)
