Sa ilalim ng proyektong “Multi-Hazard Impact-Based Forecasting and Early Warning System for the Philippines (MHIBFEWS)” na pinondohan ng Green Climate Fund, layunin ng proyekto na higit pang palakasin ang pagtutulungan ng Gobyernong Pilipino sa pagtugon sa iba’t ibang panganib.

The purpose of the activity is to observe firsthand the various aspects of the project’s execution and to gain a deeper understanding of the practical applications on the academic and professional studies.

A notable segment of the activity was the “Usapang BIDA ng mga Kabataan,” aimed at empowering the youth to identify primary drug-related issues in their areas and propose recommendations, commitments, and plans of action involving concerned stakeholders.
