The Department of Environment and Natural Resources and other featured stakeholders held a six-day information and photo exhibit starting on June 19 at SM Baguio as part of the celebration of environment month.

The exhibit, with its theme, “Understanding and responding to climate change” featured the effort of the DENR and stakeholders like the local government unit, international communities such as USAID, non-government organizations, and business and industries in response to climate change.

The event aimed to create awareness and inspire people to  act on environmental issues like global warming.

Susan Nool, DENR information officer, said that climate change is a pressing issue that people should be aware of and take action on. “Global warming is a reality and we need more aggressive response for this environmental issue,” she said.

The exhibit also showed what people can do to prevent global warming.
