The University of the Philippines Los Baños, through the Sustainability for Climate Action (S4CA) Committee, seeks to unite the community in addressing the pressing challenges of climate change through awareness, collaboration, and collective action.

In partnership with the UPLB Interdisciplinary Life Cycle Assessment Laboratory (UPLB-ILCAL), the university is set to take a significant step in its commitment to climate action through organizing the event entitled “Green UPLB: My Pledge as a Climate Warrior”, a call-to-action event on 20 Feb. 2025 at CEAT Electrical Engineering Auditorium, Pili Drive.

The event aims to bring together key university officials, faculty, REPS, staff, and students who will sign their pledges as an act of commitment for this initiative and a testament to UPLB’s dedication to sustainable climate action and commitment to building a low-carbon future.

Green UPLB is also a call to the community to actively participate in shaping a sustainable future and promote and incorporate low carbon-related activities in its academic, research and extension, and public service projects and programs.

The UPLB Sustainability for Climate Action (S4CA) Committee was created on 18 Oct. 2023 through the Office of the Chancellor Admin. Order No. 309 Series of 2023. With the chairmanship of Prof. Rex B. Demafelis, current dean of the College of Engineering and Agro-industrial Technology and former chair of UPLB ILCAL, the committee is mandated to ensure that UPLB actively engages as a partner within the United Nations Net Zero Coalition and Race-to-Zero (R2Z) campaign. The committee is also tasked to exemplify, share, and collaborate net zero practices to reduce UPLB’s environmental footprint.
