Makati City Mayor Abby Binay stressed the importance of women environment defenders in the fight against climate change and increasing the public’s awareness on the different social and environmental issues the world is facing.

Binay, in a speech at the “She’s On Fire: A Conversation on Women and the Climate Emergency” forum hosted by the Masungi Georeserve Foundation Inc. with the Canadian government, stressed that raising awareness on the impacts of climate change on women requires a combination of local and global initiatives.

A certificate of appreciation was presented to Binay by Executive Director of Spark Philippines Maica Teves, Ann Dumaliang of Masungi Georeserve, and Political Counsellor of Canada to the Philippines Colin Townson. “She’s on Fire: A Conversation on Women and the Climate Emergency” aimed to raise awareness of the disproportionate impact of the climate crisis on women and to gain support for women environment defenders.

In August, she declared a state of climate emergency in the city and called for a whole-of-society approach in responding to the growing issues of climate change in the country and in the world.
