With a thriving economy still in question, Partido Kalikasan has even asked the possibility of a Low Carbon Economy, its feasibility and sustainability after a citizen’s consultation on how it is to take place.
I received an email invitation to the attend the final experts’ critiquing of the Citizen’s Consultancy on Low Carbon Economy for the Philippines It was conducted by the ECO Sustainability Institute and Freedom from Debt Coalition (FDC) in cooperation with local Partido Kalikasan organizations in Cagayan de Oro, Cebu and Benguet in behalf of Aksyon Klima.
It looked very interesting considering the topic and the huge task that it seems to be proposing. Then upon seeing the following personalities as the panel presenters for their own respective fields, it looks to be a very interesting indeed.
Ecological Perspective — Dr. Angelina Galang executive director of the Environmental Institute of the Miriam College
Economic Perspective — Dr. Sixto K Roxas of Maximo T. Kalaw Institute for Sustainable Development (MTKISD)
Cultural Perspective — Mr. Nicanor Perlas of Movement of Imaginals for Sustainable Societies through Initiatives, Organization and Networking (MISSION)
Tech Perspective — Ms. Neth Dano of ETC Group
I tried to get in touch with Mr. Roy Cabonegro, the Secretary of the Board for the Eco Sustainability Institute to ask more about the event, unfortunately I would have to wait for the results which will be available online.

Yes, having first read the title, I was taken aback by the audacity of even asking that question, but after some thought, maybe it is about asking huge questions that we will get huge solutions. After all, its becoming more often that I hear “the right answers come from asking the right questions”. What do you think?
