Visayan forum gathers 200 sectoral leaders

THE Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) gathered at least 200 industry and sector leaders in the Visayas to generate recommendations as it refines its Environment and Natural Resources (ENR) Framework in a two-day forum in Iloilo City.

Environment Secretary Maria Antonia Yulo-Loyzaga said the Visayas leg of the forum was a continuation of the Luzon Multistakeholder Forum attended by President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. in Manila last year. Joining him then were over 300 stakeholders from the government, private sector, civil society, academic and scientific institutions, and the country's international development partners.
