Collaboration on Climate Information and Services
 |
UP Mindanao collaborated with the German Development Cooperation (GIZ Philippines) South-South Collaboration on Climate Information and Services (SSCIS) Project and the Ateneo de Davao University to successfully conduct the “Climate Information Services in Health and Agriculture Research: The Mindanao Perspective” conference, which was held last July 23-24, 2024, at the Acacia Hotel in Davao City.
At the conference, various stakeholders emphasize the need for collaboration and an integrative approach to knowledge to combat climate change and its effects on agriculture and health.
In her inspirational message, UP Mindanao chancellor Lyre Anni E. Murao emphasized the need for integrative and transdisciplinary approaches for healthy and resilient communities. A virologist and health researcher, Murao cited the 'One Health' approach as an example of an interdisciplinary perspective that emphasizes the interconnectedness of human, animal, plant, and environmental health.
Prof. May Anne E. Mata, UPMin professor and director for research, presents UPMin’s initiatives on Climate Information Services in Mindanao. The conference showcases contributions from the academe and institutions that elevate Mindanao-based research. UPMin's Mindanao Center for Disease Watch & Analytics (DiWA) presents various research papers related to health and agriculture in Mindanao.
UPMin College of Science and Mathematics dean Prof. Cleto L. Nañola and Prof. Aleyla E. de Cadiz are among the panelists during the sessions on transdisciplinary and joint takeaways for Climate Information Services in Health and Agriculture in Mindanao.
