*Environmental Mooting Oralists Shine Alongside Classmates at IDLO's Gender and Climate Conference*
Influenced by Vox Legis Coach Kristine Joy Argallon's spirit of volunteerism, our environmental mooting oralists Eurica Carreon and Keilla Choi, alongside law student volunteers Jerelou Mag-aso, Abigael Seville, Mary Joan Palatino, Diane Gimenez, Elliz Florez, Debie Bolhano and Joel Salaum, lent their support at the recent International Development Law Organization (IDLO) conference.
Thanks to the collaboration facilitated by Atty. Myrfi Gonzalez, Field Program Coordinator of IDLO and former UC School of Law professor on the Law on Human Rights, our students had the opportunity to contribute to this significant event.
Associate Justice Filomena Singh of the Supreme Court delivered a compelling keynote address, highlighting the indispensable role of women in environmental sustainability.
Hosted over three days, the "Advancing Women’s and Girls’ Climate Action through Rule of Law Multistakeholder Conference" brought together esteemed organizations including the Philippine Commission on Women, Philippine Climate Change Commission, Philippine Earth Justice Center, and the Department of Environment and Natural Resources.
The conference served as a dynamic platform for dialogue and collaboration, fostering a deeper understanding of the intersection between gender equality, environmental justice, and sustainable development.
As the conference concluded, participants departed with renewed vigor and a shared commitment to advancing women’s and girls’ climate action through the rule of law.
