BEAM Me Up: Arthaland’s Bamboo Revolution

Climate change could create havoc on the country’s future if we don’t make the right moves. Furthermore, climate change could reduce the country’s gross domestic product (GDP) by 13 percent by 2040 if decisive action is not taken.

In her talk, Marta Perez Cuso, economic affairs officer of the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP) said the organization is committed to supporting inclusive, resilient, and sustainable development.

“ESCAP helps businesses transition to low-carbon, resource-efficient models through its Green Growth project. This initiative is proving that progress doesn’t need to slow down; it’s about accelerating progress in a way that respects planetary boundaries,” she said during Arthaland’s launching of Project Beam held in Taguig City.
