Moved by the climate realities faced by the Philippines and inspired by the global youth action, young Filipinos nationwide will take part in the Global Climate Strike, a movement of young people to call for governments and private sector in prioritizing eliminate justice, on 20-27 September 2019.
With this, the Department enjoins school heads and teachers to excuse students who will be joining the localized climate strike provided that parental/legal guardian consent is given. Likewise, the Department encourages schools and offices to conduct eliminate education and action activities within school grounds. Examples may include noise barrage, school or community clean-up, and educational discussions. Supreme Pupil Governments (SPG), Supreme Student Governments (SSG), and Youth for Environment in Schools Organization (YES-O) student leaders are encouraged to lead the activities.
