📸 A LOOK INSIDE SALIMBAY! 🌍✨

Here are some highlights from Salimbay: A Sangguniang Kabataan (SK) Training on Climate Action and Disaster Resilience, which took place this April 25-29 in Quezon City!

Guided by the theme, “For Resilience Redefined, Piloting Youth-led CADR for Sustained Impact,” this 4-day event immersed our young leaders in five comprehensive modules. From kickstarting their climate changemaker journeys and understanding local climate realities, to taking climate action and building resilience through CCA and DRR, attendees learned exactly how to turn their ideas into action. Mastering these core concepts sparked incredible collaboration and helped forge new partnerships as these youth leaders geared up to build climate-resilient communities in their respective localities!

About the Organizers:
National Youth Commission (NYC), Positive Youth Development Network (PYDN), and UNICEF Philippines

The partnership between the NYC, PYDN, and UNICEF Philippines strengthens efforts to institutionalize meaningful youth participation in climate action and disaster resilience (CADR) through the Kabataang Resilient Program (KRP) — a flagship program of PYDN and UNICEF Philippines.

KRP aims to embed children and youth engagement in CADR by working closely with national government agencies, youth organizations, and civil society organizations. As part of this effort, a new module has been developed for Sangguniang Kabataan (SK) Councils, Local Youth Development Offices (LYDOs), and Local Government Units (LGUs). This offers practical tools to integrate youth-led initiatives into local climate and disaster plans—ensuring that young Filipinos are recognized as key partners in building sustainable and climate-resilient communities.
