CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY – The government highlighted the bamboo’s capabilities as a strategy, especially for local government units in Mindanao, in reducing disaster risk during the occurrence of natural hazards as well as climate change adaptation during the HANDA Pilipinas: Innovations in Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Exposition 2023 here on Wednesday, October 4.
Bamboo is well-renowned for its excellent soil and water holding abilities which prevents soil erosion and flooding as well as its very high potential to sequester carbon and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. It also works well as a windbreaker. Many LGUs and non-government organizations have been conducting bamboo tree-planting activities to mitigate floods and prevent landslides.
A part of the activities prepared for HANDA Pilipinas was Tala-Kawayan – a forum which involved two panel discussions featuring resource speakers from the industry and policy sector to discuss the opportunities of bamboo in disaster risk reduction and carbon crediting. “So, if we actually do the first and the second, then we will recover very fast because you’ve reduced the impact. So, your problem would lessen. That’s the real target,” he said.
