LIPA CITY, Batangas - Lipa City, in partnership with the Lipa City Colleges, recently hosted the Lipa Environmental Summit "Youth Action in Climate Change". The summit aimed to empower and engage the youth in taking proactive steps towards addressing the pressing issue of climate change.

With various workshops, discussions, and interactive activities, the summit provided a platform for young individuals to learn about sustainable practices and develop innovative solutions to combat climate change.



Lipa City Mayor Eric Africa led a summit on climate change and sustainable development, bringing together experts, policymakers, and community leaders from around the world.

The summit aimed to find innovative solutions to combat the growing environmental challenges and create a more sustainable future for all. The discussions focused on renewable energy, green infrastructure, and implementing effective policies to reduce carbon emissions.

Africa's goal to encourage Lipeño youth to plant at least one tree in their yards aligns with the summit's objectives of promoting sustainable development and combating climate change.

Young people will be empowered and educated on the importance of environmental conservation and given the tools to actively participate in creating a greener future.

Mayor Africa fosters a sense of responsibility and instills the importance of preserving our planet for future generations by engaging the younger generation in environmental initiatives.

This grassroots approach not only contributes to carbon sequestration but also empowers the community to take ownership of their environment and contribute to a more sustainable future.

The summit also emphasized the importance of engaging youth in environmental initiatives and promoting education on sustainability.

Participants explored the potential of technological advancements and collaborations between governments, businesses, and communities to address climate change and protect the planet for future generations.
