Summary:

The “Knowledge transfer on environmental sustainability and climate adaptation from the Filipino diaspora” is an action of the Palawan Council for Sustainable Development Staff (PCSDS) and Palawan State University (PSU) run by the EU Global Diaspora Facility (EUDiF), an EU-funded project implemented by the International Centre for Migration Policy Development (ICMPD). By leveraging Filipino diaspora expertise, EUDiF empowers PCSDS and PSU in the areas of climate change finance and education respectively to advance Palawan’s Strategic Environmental Plan. The two main activities are:

- Training the staff of PCSDS and local government units on fundraising for climate change adaptation to better enable them to obtain funds to face these challenges.
- Updating the environmental science curriculum to bring it in line with national and global trends in Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) to equip the youth with the knowledge on sustainable development.

The action started in October 2022 and will end in June 2023.
