Brief Description

Documentation and identification of the community folks' indigenous knowledge/know how is fundamental in our struggle to address the negative effects of climate change. Community folks will be interviewed to elicit information regarding their usual practices in dealing with extreme weather conditions. The data gathered will somehow supplement with the directives currently implementing by WHO with regards to climate change.

Expected Output

  • Indigenous knowledge of the community folks with regard to weather extreme is produced.
  • Adaptation and mitigation strategies are formulated
  • Production of brochures, leaflets and other infomaterials
  • Results of the study copy furnished to every municipality
