A strong grasp of climate science is crucial to formulate effective climate policies and strategies that will address the complex challenges posed by climate change. At the recent Mindanao Development Forum held in Davao City, panelists in a discussion on “Planet: Enhancing Resilience and Sustainable Development of the Mindanao River Basin” underscored the importance of popularizing science among policymakers, local chief executives, and other stakeholders, particularly at the grassroots level. “Planet” is one of the five thematic sessions, along with “People,” “Prosperity,” “Partnerships” and “Peace,” during the forum organized by the Mindanao Development Authority.
