To mark the occasion, Greenpeace organized the Iloilo launch of “YoU turn the Earth”—a series of high profile public activities to raise awareness on climate change and its solutions. The event in Iloilo’s capital highlights the province’s vulnerability to the worst onslaught of climate change, particularly massive floods caused by extreme weather such as Iloilo’s devastating experience with Typhoon Frank last year.
