QC MAGPO-PRODUCE NG INTERACTIVE STORYBOOKS PARA SA MGA KABATAAN NA MAY KAPANSANAN

NAKATAKDANG mag-produce ng interactive storybooks ang lokal na pamahalan ng Quezon City para sa mga kabataan at mga bata na may kapansanan sa pamamagitan ng Inclusive Climate Action Cities Fund (ICA Fund) na pinangangasiwaan ng C40 cities.

Sa pamamagitan ng ICA Fund, bubuo ang siyudad ng isang serye ng “QC Local Climate Action Plan For Kids” books na tatalakay sa mga solusyon at mga hakbangin upang matugunan ang epekto ng climate change. Ito ay inclusive at child-friendly version ng Enhanced Local Climate Change Action Plan for 2021 to 2050 ng lungsod.

Idinesenyo ang mga libro para sa preschool hanggang high school students at gagawin sa iba’t ibang bersiyon upang ma-accommodate ang mga indibidwal na may iba’t ibang pangangailangan at limitasyon.

“I am proud to join other leading mayors in the world in advancing inclusive and equitable climate action with the support of C40’s new Inclusive Climate Action Fund. In Quezon City, we recognize the need for inclusive and accessible information dissemination that caters to all residents, of all backgrounds, educational attainment and age groups, to better engage them in our climate action initiatives,” ayon kay Mayor Joy Belmonte.

Tinatayang nasa 45% ng household population ng Quezon City ay binubuo ng mga batang QCitizens, kabilang ang mga batang may pisikal na limitasyon at kapansanan.


“This shows our continuing commitment to inclusive climate action for all. This project will help address this priority, putting the needs of the youth and children with disabilities at the forefront of its design and delivery,” dagdag ng alkalde.

Noong Hunyo 28 nang ianunsiyo ng C40 Cities na kabilang ang Quezon City sa mga recipient ng grant, kabilang ang mga siyudad ng Bogota (Colombia, Dar es Salaam (Tanzania), Los Angeles (USA), Vancouver (Canada) at Warsaw (Poland).


“Mayors recognise that there can be no climate justice without social justice and are already leading the way to achieve both in their cities. However, more support is needed. The C40 Inclusive Climate Action Cities Fund will provide more support to cities to implement specific projects that address social justice and the climate emergency in tandem. The six cities receiving the first round of funding reflect my commitment to expanding the Global Green New Deal programme and supporting Global South cities in prioritizing climate action that tackles inequality,” ayon kay C40 Cities Chairperson at London Mayor Sadiq Khan.


“With the rising cost of living globally and the increasing injustices of climate breakdown, residents around the world have a huge need for healthier, fairer, more sustainable and inclusive societies. Inclusive and equitable climate action has never been so urgent and mayors are leading the way in showing what a just, green transition looks like in practice. By providing the necessary financial and technical support, C40’s ICA Fund is a concrete mechanism for them to further scale and accelerate delivery of inclusive climate action that specifically addresses the needs of vulnerable people,” paliwanag naman ni Inclusion and Global Leadership Managing Director Caterina Sarfatti
