The CEPA is an advocacy campaign which seeks to educate the public and private stakeholders regionwide on the mandates, thrust, and priority programs of the DENR and its line bureaus. It is conducted through orientations, fora, and film showings, among others.

The CEPA also aims to move the stakeholders to become vanguards of the environment and to stir them into action towards possible solutions on the pressing concerns and issues faced by the planet.

Topics discussed include the DENR’s Mission, Vision, Plans and Programs, Philippine Biodiversity, Ecological Solid Waste Management, Clean Air and Water Act, and Geohazard Awareness and Responsible Mining.

More CEPA activities are set to be conducted to various Local Government Units (LGUs) and schools year-round.

With the conduct of CEPA, the DENR and its line bureaus are hopeful that there will be an increased support from the communities, which will help amplify public opinion, behavior and action towards environmental conservation and protection.*JNL
