12th Global Warming and Climate Change Consciousness Week I am pleased to welcome you all to The Climate Plate: Experiencing Sustainable Dining — a forum for food industry professionals, practitioners, and relevant stakeholders to exchange knowledge and good practices on sustainable food consumption and production. As part of our national Observance of the Climate Change Consciousness Week, our event today supports the Climate Change Commission’s continuous effort to promote climate change adaptation and mitigation solutions and a better quality of life for all. Transforming our food sector to a low-carbon and sustainable industry will not only reduce the carbon footprint of the industry sector, but will also help us ensure food security and lessen food wastage in the country. On this note, I would like to thank the World Wide Fund for Nature Philippines for co-organizing this event with us.Your efforts in promoting sustainable approaches to food consumption and production through this initiative contributes significantly in our pursuit of climate-resilient development. Thank you for attendingtoday’s event. Your presence signifies that you are one with us—in purpose and action and in ensuring a sustainable future for the Filipino nation. Thank you and may you have an inspiring forum. --- Contact us: Email: info@climate.gov.ph Website: www.climate.gov.ph Follow us: Facebook: www.facebook.com/CCCPhl Twitter: www.twitter.com/CCCPhl Instagram: www.instagram.com/CCCPhl
