They discussed opportunities for collaboration on climate action. Most recently, the DENR has participated in the Copernicus Capacity Support Action Programme for the Philippines conference launched by EU, Philippine Space Agency, and the Department of Science and Technology on the same day. The programme, the first in Asia, aims to help Philippine authorities develop national systems to make use of EU’s earth observation satellites data in the country’s disaster mitigation, climate adaptation and food security strategies. #
