Young Movers Participates in AFTGG Project K4 Webinar on Climate Action and Resilience
The Alliance of Competent Young Movers (ACYM) participated in the Project K4: Kapaligiran, Klima, Kamalayan at Kaalaman โ Hindi โWeather Weatherโ Lang! webinar organized by the Ambassadors for the Global Goals (AFTGG) on September 26, 2026, conducted through Google Meet and Facebook Live.
The webinar brought together young people and youth organizations for a discussion on climate change, environmental concerns, disaster risk reduction, resilience, and the role of the youth in advancing climate action.
Project K4 centered on the premise that awareness must be translated into meaningful and collective action. The program explored how young people can better understand environmental and climate-related challenges affecting communities and contribute to long-term solutions.
Among the speakers were G-ar Barrientos, who discussed *From Relief to Resilience: Why the Philippines Must Invest in Long-Term Climate Solutions*; Rachelle Junsay, who tackled *From Awareness to Action: Why Young People Must Lead the Fight for Climate Justice and Resilience*; Niรฑa Fegi, who discussed *Hindi Lang Ulan: Understanding Floods, Hazards and Disaster Risk in the Philippines*; and Paulo Allan Umale, who presented *Hindi Lang Awareness: Turning Environmental Concerns into Collective Action*.
The discussions highlighted the interconnected nature of climate change, disaster risks, environmental concerns, and community resilience. The speakers also emphasized the importance of informed youth participation and collective efforts in responding to environmental challenges.
For ACYM, its participation in the webinar forms part of the organization's continuing engagement in youth development, environmental awareness, governance, and initiatives aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals.
Project K4 was organized by AFTGG in partnership with various youth organizations and institutions, with ACYM among the organizations that supported the initiative through its collaboration with the organizers.
The webinar underscored a central message of the initiative: addressing the climate crisis requires more than awareness. It calls for informed communities, sustained engagement, and collective action, particularly from young people who have an important role in shaping responses to environmental challenges.
