Environmental Awareness: Empowering Youth and Children for Climate-Resilient Communities

From April 17–21, 2023, JBLFMU CES, in partnership with ERDA Foundation and JBLFMU system employees, conducted a series of educational seminar workshops in nine partner communities across Guimaras. Titled “Environmental Awareness: Empowering Youth and Children to Create Climate-Resilient Communities”, the workshops engaged 25 youth and children per barangay in hands-on learning on climate change, climate resilience, and zero-waste lifestyles. The activities aimed to educate participants on the importance of environmental protection, increase youth participation in sustainability programs, and foster awareness of their role in conserving natural resources. Beyond knowledge, the workshops promoted leadership, teamwork, social responsibility, and environmental stewardship, empowering young generations to take active roles in building climate-resilient and sustainable communities. Through these initiatives, JBLFMU CES contributes to climate action, responsible consumption, and quality education, advancing the Sustainable Development Goals for current and future generations.
