Philippines: Greening program to promote the role of women
In line with the National Women’s Month celebration in March, the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) has underscored the National Greening Program (NGP) as an instrument in the promotion of the role of women.
“The objective of the EO is to pursue sustainable development for poverty reduction, food security, biodiversity conservation, and climate change mitigation and adaptation. Without discriminating the men, various studies indicate that women are mostly affected by disasters, food scarcity, and environmental degradation,” added Paje.
