The forum, hosted by SM Investments Corp., gathered business owners, partner suppliers, policy makers, and civil society organizations in a multi-sectoral dialogue on climate action.

The forum kicked off the joint efforts to fight climate change through a series of “fireside chats” given by the business leaders, policy makers and environment experts from around the region. These discussions allowed participants to share insights, best practices, and other information that could form the foundation of a practical climate action plan.

The panel of experts included Noel Peters of the Asian Development Bank, head of Wetlands International Philippines Dr. Annadel Cabanban, and president of the Center for Conservation Innovations Dr. Neil Aldrin Mallari.
