The IMF projects emerging Asian economies to expand 5.2% this year, slowing from 2023 but revised up from its forecast three months ago on stronger-than-expected growth in China. In 2025, emerging and developing Asia is expected to grow 4.8%, the IMF said in its upgraded World Economic Outlook.” (Source: Reuters 30/1/24)

The Ecosystem of Change and Your Role in It
An interactive storytelling presentation that will guide you in discovering your role in the ecosystem of change. At the same time, it is also a remembering of, at the very least a re-introduction to, the wonders of Philippine biodiversity and natural heritage and what we stand to lose if we continue to ignore the dangers the climate crisis brings. This presentation draws on the stories and wisdom from the frontlines and Indigenous communities, gifted to me over the course of my work. It also offers actionable steps individuals can take, little tweaks in their daily form and function, in order to better fulfill their roles in advocating for and affecting true and authentic change.
