It is now 2015 and fundamental questions regarding youth participation should be addressed: What role does the youth have in influencing the post‐2015 sustainable development agenda? How do governments ensure that the youth are included in the process from the very beginning? How does the youth directly contribute to the achievement of these global targets? The EAS Youth Forum (YF) is one of the special events of the EAS Congress which was first launched in 2006. The 1st YF adopted the Youth Agenda for the Seas of East Asia, detailing a plan of action on informing, inspiring and involving the region’s youth. In 2009, the 2nd YF committed to the sustainable development of the seas of East Asia through the Youth Statement and Country Work Plans. The 3rd YF in 2012 formulated the Changwon Youth Declaration on the Protection of the Seas of East Asia. Now on its fourth cycle, the EAS Youth Forum (YF4) carries the theme, “Charting the Future We Want: Engaging Young Champions for the Ocean Beyond 2015.” The YF4 will gather young leaders in the EAS Page 9 of 86 region to showcase their initiatives contributing to the sustainable development agenda. Putting the youth as actors for, and stakeholders to a healthy world, YF4 will encourage participants to display ideas and convictions, innovative frameworks, approaches and methodologies in addressing pressing environmental issues in their respective communities. Objectives The YF4 aims to: a. Discuss the youth’s crucial role in the post‐2015 development agenda by recognizing young leaders and innovators involved in youth‐led ridge‐to‐reef initiatives in the EAS region; b. Provide a conducive platform for mutual exchange of knowledge, experience and skills in sustainable ocean and coastal management; c. Strengthen the youth’s capacity to develop and/or lead initiatives in the local, national or regional level; d. Review the recommendations to national and local governments, nongovernmental organizations, universities and the private sector drafted in previous youth forums (e.g., Changwon Youth Declaration 2012, EAS Youth Forum Statement 2009, Youth Agenda for the Seas of East Asia 2006); e. Sustain and expand the network of young people empowered to take actions in protecting the region’s oceans and coasts through the EAS Youth Network and its country hubs; and f. Develop case studies showcasing the environmental initiatives of the youth participants. Target Audience The YF4 is open to the youth, ages 18 to 25 years old, from the countries in the EAS region: Brunei Darussalam, Cambodia, PR China, DPR Korea, Indonesia, Japan, Lao PDR, Malaysia, Philippines, RO Korea, Singapore, Thailand, Timor‐Leste, and Vietnam. It will target 70 participants consisting of university students, young professionals, and active members of youth organization/s and institution/s working in the field of sustainable development. In line with the objectives to build the capacity of youth on coastal and ocean management and development, youth from communities where integrated coastal management (ICM) programs are being implemented are highly encouraged to participate. Expected Outputs Some of the expected outputs include an exhibit of relevant case studies/projects on initiatives led by the youth; a YF toolkit; empowered working groups grounded on specific coastal issues for the establishment of the EAS Youth Network; and Youth Statement/Declaration on actual commitments to address relevant coastal issues Provisional Programme Time Activity Possible Speaker/Facilitator NOVEMBER 15 Arrival YF Coordinators Page 10 of 86 Time Activity Possible Speaker/Facilitator Check‐in Registration DAY 1 NOVEMBER 16 Orientation ‐ Setting into context the 4th Youth Forum 0900‐0930 Team Building 0930‐1230 Expectations and commitments (Place mat activity) YF Coordinators Name game 1230‐1400 Lunch break 1400‐1430 Taking Initiative Activity 1430‐1500 Flag Parade Rehersal for Opening Ceremony 1500‐1600 Coffee break 1600‐1730 EAS Congress Opening Ceremony 1730‐1930 Welcome Reception DAY 2 NOVEMBER 17 Opening Plenary: 0900‐1000 Keynote and Panel Discussion 1000‐1030 Coffee break Mr. Douglas Woodring Board of Directors Keynote Presentation and Open Forum: Role of the 1030‐1130 Ocean Recovery Alliance (to youth in the road to sustainable development be confirmed) 1130‐1200 Processing session on SDGs and YF Keynote Presentation YF Coordinators 1230‐1400 Lunch break Mr. Mark Cheng 1400‐1500 Youth in green entrepreneurship Greenprints, Singapore 1500‐1630 Presentations per country YF Participants 1630‐1645 Coffee break YF Participants Mr. Chu Tengfei, Qingdao Agricultural University, 1645‐1800 Presentations per country China (Youth presenter from each of the countries to be determined) 1800‐1930 Cultural Night and Dinner Page 11 of 86 Time Activity Possible Speaker/Facilitator DAY 3 NOVEMBER 18 0900‐1000 Plenary: Keynote and Panel Discussion 1000‐1030 Coffee break 1030‐1230 International Conference Session 1:3/Session 2:1 1230‐1400 Lunch break 1400‐1800 International Conference Session 1:3/Session 2:1 Processing/feedback on the international conference 1800‐1930 YF Coordinators sessions attended DAY 4 NOVEMBER 19 0900‐1000 Plenary: Keynote and Panel Discussion 1000‐1030 Coffee break Ms. Adeline Tiffanie Suwana, Aham Salabat, Youth 1030‐1125 Youth in environmental advocacy Biodiversity Champion, Indonesia 1125‐1135 Energizer Activity Skills Development o Development of project proposal Dr. Natalie Degger 1135‐1230 o Fund raising Fellow, PEMSEA Resource o Use of social media Facility o Science and socio‐cultural communication 1230‐1400 Lunch break Youth engagement activity: Forming the Youth 1400‐1600 Communities of Practice.

(PLDT) at ang kanyang wireless unit Smart Communication Inc. (Smart) para tulungan na maitaas ang kamalayan ng Caraga region sa peatlands sa naturang rehiyon. Ayon kay DENR Secretary Roy A. Cimatu, ang peatlands ay pangunahing mahalagang hakbang para sa ligtas na inuming tubig, patulong para ipreserba ang global biodiversity at tulungan ang mapababa ang bagta ng baha. “Peatlands are dubbed as ‘one of the most valuable ecosystems on Earth’ according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature or IUCN because apart from all these uses, they also help mitigate climate change and global warming,” ayon kay Cimatu. Sinabi ng DENR na ang Peatlands ay isang uri ng wetlands na binubuo ng carbon- rich dead and decaying plant matter. Pinapanatili nito ang pagiging basa. Ang Peatlands ay pinapanatili ang dalawang ulit ang carbon na ang lahat na may kombinasyon ng pinagsanib na world’s forest. Kaugnay nito, mahalaga ang papel nito na magpapagaan sa climate change lalo na tumataas na natural carbon sinks ay napipinsala at nananatiling hindi napapansin. Ang DENR at PLDT-Smart ay pananatilihin ang programa ng konserbasyon sa peatlands sa web activity na nakatakdang isagawa sa Nobyembre 6, 2020 na magsisimula ang Climate Change Consciousness Week sa huling bahagi ng buwan.

Environment Secretary Roy Cimatu said that while the disposal of PPEs in the country is being done accordingly, it could be a challenge in the future if the number of COVID-19 cases in the country continues to swell. Cimatu said strict sanitation measures and proper disposal of wastes are necessary during this time of pandemic to ensure also the health and safety of garbage collectors.
