When a typhoon hits, schools close. When the heat becomes unbearable, classes stop. When floodwaters rise, classrooms become evacuation centers. Climate change is a definitive threat to Philippine education and its learners.

The Development Academy of the Philippines - Graduate School of Public Management (GSPM) invites educational leaders, policymakers, researchers, and students to the Dekalogo Governance Lecture Series session on “𝐂𝐥𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐞-𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐲 𝐒𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐥𝐬: 𝐀 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 𝐈𝐦𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐄𝐧𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐒𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐒𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐥𝐬,” on 𝟏𝟐 𝐌𝐚𝐲 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔, 𝟐:𝟎𝟎 - 𝟒:𝟑𝟎 𝐏𝐌, 𝐨𝐧𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐯𝐢𝐚 𝐙𝐨𝐨𝐦.

Our schools deserve better than reactive, makeshift responses to climate disruptions. This session brings together voices from policy, science, and psychology to take on the questions that matter: What do the country's national climate commitments mean for school leaders on the ground? How are extreme weather events affecting not just classrooms and infrastructure, but the mental health and wellbeing of our learners? What does it actually take for a Philippine educational institution to measure its own carbon footprint, commit to net zero, and follow through? And what does genuine, courageous climate leadership in education look like?

They are questions for every principal, superintendent, university president, policymaker, teacher, researcher, and student who believes that our schools can, and must, do better.

Join us, listen to our expert speakers, and bring your own questions to the Open Forum. This is your chance to be part of the conversation, push back, and share what you know from your own schools and communities.

🛑 There is no such thing as a natural disaster.

Hazards – earthquakes, floods, cyclones – are natural. Disasters are not.

Disasters happen when hazards affect people and systems that are exposed and vulnerable. That combination is not fate –it is the outcome of development choices.

Disaster risk has three components:
🔹 Hazard – the severity and frequency of the event
🔹 Exposure – the people and assets in harm's way
🔹 Vulnerability – how susceptible they are to damage

Understanding those three elements changes how we think about loss. Disasters are indicators of development failures. Disaster risk is a measure of how sustainable our development actually is.
The risk drivers are well-documented: poverty and inequality, poorly planned urban growth, climate change, and environmental degradation. None of these are acts of nature.

🛡️There is also a fourth dimension that matters: resilience – the capacity of communities and systems to absorb, recover, and improve wellbeing after a disaster.

Where resilience has been built, countries and communities have significantly reduced disaster mortality. Where it has not, extensive risk losses continue to rise – particularly for the poorest and most at-risk communities.

Start your week with , featuring an inspiring reflection from Justice Marvic M.V.F. Leonen!

His words remind us that public service is rooted in trust; where authority comes with the expectation that it will be exercised for the common good, not for personal benefit.
