DA bats for implementation of climate change mitigation measures

The Department of Agriculture (DA) is now pushing for stronger implementation of Adaptation and Mitigation Initiative in Agriculture (AMIA) to minimize effect of climate change on agriculture and the environment.

Alicia Ilaga, director of the DA’s Climate Change Office, said that the Philippines, by virtue of its geographic location, has been identified by a number of global institutions including the United Nations (UN) as one of the countries most vulnerable to the effects of climate change.
