Today, we observe the celebration of the 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐃𝐚𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐂𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐧 𝐀𝐢𝐫 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐁𝐥𝐮𝐞 𝐒𝐤𝐢𝐞𝐬, and the haze we have been experiencing over the past few days serves as a stark reminder that climate action and the pursuit of cleaner air are change and the push for better air are intrinsically linked, a message underscored by this year’s theme “𝐂𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐧 𝐀𝐢𝐫 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐂𝐥𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐀𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧”.

This is transboundary haze, a powerful and timely reminder of the interconnected nature of our environment and the urgent need for collective action. There could hardly be a more compelling circumstance to underscore the significance of today's observance.

Forest and peatland fires across our neighboring country of Indonesia have been burning since late August, and the habagat has caused the haze to settle over much of the Luzon region and parts of the Visayas. The DENR-EMB Air Quality Monitoring stations have registered “acutely unhealthy” levels as of September 1, with particulate matter with a diameter of 2.5 microns or smaller (PM2.5) at over four times the World Health Organization (WHO) guideline value, with most of the Philippine population being advised to wear masks to protect themselves from the air they breathe.

The cause of these unfortunate events is the same. Forest fires deliberately set for land clearing are further intensified by El Niño conditions and a warming climate. What we are witnessing is therefore not only an air quality emergency, but also a climate crisis.

The haze now enveloping much of the Philippines' airspace may not have originated within our borders. Yet it reaches us as a direct consequence of land use practices, governance gaps, and a changing climate that recognizes no boundaries.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐏𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐩𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬’ 𝐑𝐞𝐩𝐮𝐛𝐥𝐢𝐜 𝐀𝐜𝐭 𝐍𝐨. 𝟖𝟕𝟒𝟗, 𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐏𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐩𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐂𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐧 𝐀𝐢𝐫 𝐀𝐜𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝟏𝟗𝟗𝟗, remains the cornerstone of our national air quality management framework. It mandates the DENR-EMB to establish an air quality monitoring network to regularly measure and report air quality conditions in key areas, while providing mechanisms for enforcing emission reduction measures and standards. Importantly, the law also recognizes that air pollution can transcend national boundaries and provides for bilateral and multilateral cooperation in addressing transboundary air pollution.

At the regional level, ASEAN Member States has adopted the 𝐀𝐒𝐄𝐀𝐍 𝐀𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐨𝐧 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝐇𝐚𝐳𝐞 𝐏𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐧 𝟐𝟎𝟎𝟐, which has since been ratified by all ASEAN member states. The agreement commits governments to prevent and monitor land and forest fires and to cooperate in responding to haze when it crosses national borders. What is happening now is precisely the kind of situation the agreement was designed to address. Its implementation and the political will to uphold its commitments will continue to be tested as climate and land-use pressures increase the likelihood of similar incidents.

Meanwhile, 𝐑𝐀 𝐍𝐨. 𝟗𝟕𝟐𝟗 𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐥𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞 𝐀𝐜𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝟐𝟎𝟎𝟗 establishes the policy framework for addressing climate risks, including those associated with drought, land degradation, and extreme fire conditions. It also calls for climate adaptation to be integrated into land-use planning and natural resource management.

The climate risks we face today require science-based policy responses, not merely emergency advisories.

At the FDC, we are committed to bridging science and policy and advancing evidence-based solutions to emerging challenges in forest and natural resources governance.

Today, as we celebrate the 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐃𝐚𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐂𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐧 𝐀𝐢𝐫 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐁𝐥𝐮𝐞 𝐒𝐤𝐢𝐞𝐬s, we envision skies that are cleaner, bluer, and healthier for all. We believe that credible science, responsive governance, and collective actions are key to making that vision a reality.

Salendab, expressed its appreciation for UPLB’s commitment to collaboration and support, emphasizing the importance of partnerships with academic and research institutions in helping BARMM fulfill its environmental and natural resource management mandates.

Chancellor Camacho also underscored UPLB’s longstanding engagement with the BARMM, citing initiatives such as the 𝗨𝗣 𝗣𝗦𝗔𝗘 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗺 and other efforts that have helped strengthen the University’s presence and partnership with communities and institutions in Mindanao.

The MOU signing was attended by key officials of 𝗠𝗘𝗡𝗥𝗘-𝗕𝗔𝗥𝗠𝗠, headed by Atty. Salendab, and the 𝗙𝗗𝗖 𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗺, led by Director Gevana.

From a courtesy call to exploration and conceptualization! 🌱

A productive and inspiring meeting with Dr. Ernie Guiang, PCAARRD-TTPD Unit, IAF Team, and FDC staff to explore researchable priority areas in agroforestry and potential funding support from DOST-PCAARRD.

Dr. Guiang’s engagement is part of the UPLB Alumni Fellows Program, initiated by the Office of the UPLB Chancellor through the Office of Alumni Relations.

One important issue that emerged from the discussions was the policy implications of agroforestry research—particularly understanding what happens on the ground, its impacts, and the factors that may be limiting farmers from adopting technologies that have been available for quite some time.

The afternoon roundtable discussion generated even more ideas and promising areas for collaboration. 💡

Kudos to the IAF Team! FDC is more than willing to collaborate on research and policy issues that can help strengthen agroforestry and contribute to meaningful change on the ground. 🌿
