Experts say we only have 11 years left to prevent irreversible damage from climate change. If nothing drastic is done to stop polar ice from melting, sea levels in the Philippines are predicted to rise up to 20 centimeters by 2100, displacing entire coastal communities and inland areas.
This is not the only urgent environmental crisis that threatens us.
Marine debris has previously been found to be negatively affecting more than 800 animal species, according to a UN report. Studies show that 1 in 3 fish caught for human consumption contains microplastics, with serious consequences to public health. The Philippines contributes significantly to this global problem. It’s one of the 5 countries from which half of all land-based plastic-waste leakage originates.
Meanwhile, urban congestion is making our day to day lives unlivable, between pollution, poor transportation systems, and the lack of proper housing.
As we confront these issues, our collective search for solutions is hampered by discord and hate in the digital platforms that are now our public conversation spaces.
How can we burst through filter bubbles and echo chambers in cyberspace in order to transform these platforms once again into venues for constructive dialog?
How can we cut through the social media noise so we build communities of action that will help make the world a better place?
What can emerging local leaders do to help facilitate this process?
With the theme, “Insight for Impact,” the 2019 Manila Social Good Summit will answer these critical questions.
To be held on September 21, 2019 (Saturday) at the Yuchengco Hall, De La Salle University, along Taft Avenue, Manila, this year’s summit will bring together student leaders, policy-makers, community leaders, advocates, and industry representatives, to discuss how we can effect lasting change.
