DENR at QC Gov’t, magkatuwang sa pagpapatupad ng Project TRANSFORM

ANG Department of Environment and Natural Resources at Quezon City Government ay magkatuwang na nagdiwang ng selebrasyon ng #EarthDay2024 kasabay ng paglagda ng pangako para sa isang resilient, inclusive, at environmentally sustainable na lungsod kasabay ng lingguhang flag-raising ceremony noong ika-22 ng Abril sa Quezon City Hall.

Ang kasunduan ay kaugnay sa pagpapatupad ng Project TRANSFORM (Transdisciplinary Approach towards Sustainability and Resilience through Multi Stakeholder Engagement) para sa pagtiyak nang sama-sama, whole-of-society, at evidence-based approach sa lokal na pamamahala para sa isang kolektibong epekto sa lipunan at kapaligiran.

Ang paglagda ay pinangunahan nina DENR Chief of Staff and Supervising Undersecretary for Strategic Communications Marilou G. Erni and Undersecretary for Policy, Planning and International Affairs Atty. Jonas R. Leones, kasama si Quezon City Mayor Hon. Joy Belmonte.

Naging bahagi rin dito si Assistant Secretary for Human Resources, Strategic Communication and Sectoral Initiatives Hiro V. Masuda; DENR National Capital Region Regional Executive Director Jacqueline A. Caancan, katuwang ang mga kinatawan ng mga implementing partner organizations ng Project TRANSFORM mula sa National Resilience Council, Peace and Equity Foundation, Zuellig Family Foundation, Philippine Business for Social Progress, at First Philippine Holdings Corporation.

“We welcome the Quezon City Government’s 14-point agenda in which environmental protection and climate action are at the core of the city’s interventions. We extend our appreciation for your commitment to sustainable environmental conservation efforts and in building a liveable, green, and sustainable city for present and future generations. The DENR stands ready to engage in a dialogue and possibly collaborate with you on the city’s notable, successful programs,” ayon kay DENR Secretary Maria Antonia Yulo Loyzaga sa kanyang mensahe, na ipinahayag ni Leones.

“We are very grateful to the national government, through the DENR, for recognizing the city’s environmental action. Through the implementation of Project TRANSFORM in QC, we look forward to developing and enacting more green, sustainable, and inclusive climate initiatives for QCitizens,” wika ni Belmonte.

Ang Project TRANSFORM, sa tulong ng mga katuwang na mga organisasyon sa pagpapatupad nito, ay nagpapalakas sa mga kasalukuyang climate action ng QC sa mga aspeto ng biodiversity, greenhouse gas (GHG) accounting, financial literacy, disaster management, at mga solusyong nakabatay sa kalikasan.

Kasama rin sa mga aktibidad na isinagawa rito ay ang pagtatayo ng ‘Community PanTREE’ ng DENR-NCR at ang opisyal na pagbubukas ng kauna-unahang physical store ng ‘Kilo’s Kyusi: Kilo Store ng Bayan, Tulong para sa Kinabukasan.”
