CCC leads meeting for resilience awards

The Climate Change Commission (CCC) led last week’s meeting of the Convenors of the Philippine Resilience Awards (PRA), engaging resilience champions and stakeholders across government, civil society, the private sector and the academe.

The PRA is co-convened by the CCC in collaboration with the Office of Senator Loren Legarda, Philippine Commission on Women, National Resilience Council, SM Prime Holdings Inc., ARISE Philippines and Women’s International Network on Disaster Risk Reduction (WIN DRR) Philippines.

It honors outstanding efforts in building safer, stronger, and more sustainable communities while fostering partnerships and promoting scalable, replicable solutions nationwide.

CCC Commissioner Rachel Anne S. Herrera, PRA co-convenor, opened the meeting by reaffirming the CCC’s commitment to its catalytic role in empowering local champions.

“Resilience is about anticipating risks, protecting what matters, and transforming how we live and work in a changing climate,” Herrera said. “Through the PRA, the Commission spotlights individuals and organizations, most especially women and youth, who are already taking concrete steps in their communities, inspiring all of us to move forward.” CCC News
