๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐! Today, the Lasallian Institute For the Environment (DLSP-LIFE) joined advocates, students, and policymakers at the FEU Auditorium for a crucial forum on environmental governance organized by the FEU Public Policy Center, titled "Green Means Go: The Role and Potential of Participatory Environmental Auditing".
โThe discussion tackled a vital question: why do persistent gaps remain in local environmental protection despite the Philippines' strong environmental laws? Experts, including former COA Commissioner Ms. Heidi Mendoza, explored how Participatory Environmental Auditing can empower communities and improve public accountability.
This directly resonates with LIFE's push for evidence-based ecological stewardship. By understanding the real-world incentives and constraints facing local governments, we can ensure that environmental mandates translate into genuine, sustainable outcomes on the ground.
