Bringing social dimension to basic research

 

About a thousand members of the National Research Council of the Philippines will form four scientific clusters that would draw action plans to cushion the impact of the unfolding global economic downturn to the Philippine economy during its 76th general assembly at the Manila Hotel March 11.
      NRCP, a collegial body under the Department of Science and Technology, has adopted the theme “Science beyond science: Bringing social dimensions to basic research” to highlight the research community’s concern for the increasingly overcast economic outlook expected to dominate national and global events in the next few years.
      Department of Social Welfare and Development Secretary Dr. Esperanza I. Cabral is expected to deliver a report on the current state of public welfare along with the preparations that DSWD is doing to help Filipino cope with the global economic decline.

Rising temperatures, erratic weather, the extreme cycles of El Nino and La Nina--all of these points to the inhospitable realities of global warming that’s increasingly engulfing the Philippines. Experts say that global warming is irreversible but there are available steps to mitigate or slow it down.

       To cushion the effects of global warming in the country, the Department of Science and Technology has set in place several mechanisms designed to reduce its impact and promote greater understanding of the issue.
