In the run-up to our rally on 23 September at Hong Lim Park, SG Climate Rally will be featuring the voices and stories of climate activists in our region; after all, the climate crisis is an existential threat that transcends national borders, affecting people, ecosystems, and economies worldwide. In the second episode of this series, we speak with Mitzi Jonelle Tan, a full-time climate justice activist based in Metro Manila, Philippines. She is the convenor and international spokesperson of Youth Advocates for Climate Action Philippines (YACAP), the Fridays For Future (FFF) of the Philippines. In an illuminating chat, we talk about how YACAP aims to educate people about climate justice in the Philippines, Mitzi’s experience engaging with local communities on the ground, the sometimes dangerous reality of being a climate activist in the Philippines, and how regional collaboration on climate action can look like (follow the capital!). Check out the first episode of this series with Aroe Ajoeni from Klima Action Malaysia (KAMY) if you’ve not done so already here.Links:Mitzi’s Instagram: @mitzijonelleYACAP’s Instagram: @yacaphilippinesEnvironmental activists abducted in the PhilippinesTimestamps:(((((((((((
