SDG 13: Climate Action
SDG 13 supports climate action through education that builds climate awareness, strengthens environmental literacy, and prepares learners to respond to climate-related challenges.
Integrated climate change, disaster risk reduction (DRRM), and environmental sustainability in all relevant programs (BSN, IT, Business, Education, Psychology, Accountancy, Criminology, GenEd, THM)Embedded climate literacy, resilience, and adaptation strategies in curriculum (OBE-aligned) Required student outputs on climate action (e.g., mitigation plans, sustainability projects) Conducted seminars and simulations on disaster preparedness and climate resilience
Building skills, confidence, and readiness to respond. Through hands-on EMR training, learners develop practical competencies for effective emergency and disaster response.
Promoted research on climate change adaptation, mitigation, disaster resilience, and environmental sustainability Conducted studies on local climate risks in Tagaytay (e.g., disasters, environmental degradation) Developed applied research and innovations supporting climate action Strengthened partnerships with DOST, DENR, LGUs, and research institutions
Olivarez College Tagaytay supports environmental awareness and community participation through the provision of seeds for planting in Barangay San Jose, encouraging local involvement in greener and more climate-resilient communities.Implemented community extension programs on climate change awareness, DRRM, and environmental protection Conducted disaster preparedness training, drills, and simulations in partnership with LGUs and barangaysPromoted tree planting, environmental conservation, and sustainability campaigns Supported climate-resilient community initiatives (e.g., sustainable food systems, KADIWA integration)
Promotes environmental conservation and climate resilience through student participation in a community tree-planting activity.
Institutionalized Climate Action and DRRM policies aligned with national frameworks Developed and implement a campus Climate Action Plan (carbon reduction, energy efficiency, waste management) Monitored carbon footprint, resource consumption, and environmental impact Strengthened emergency preparedness and response systems Allocated budget for climate and sustainability initiatives
Promotes energy conservation through air-conditioning signage and proper waste segregation through color-coded and labeled trash bins, supporting sustainable campus practices.
