DEVCON Philippines, a non-profit organization, teamed up with the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) and the De La Salle University (DLSU) to develop a platform dedicated to creating innovative solutions for climate resilience.
The tripartite collaboration harnesses the technological expertise of DEVCON, the scientific leadership of DOST and DLSU’s advanced research infrastructure to create cutting-edge climate resilience technologies.
Together, they will develop the Climate Resilience Technology (CResT) platform to focus on creating climate resilience solutions like life-saving early warning systems, expanding access to renewable energy, enhancing disaster resilience, and pioneering reforestation through robotics.
These innovative technologies will be tested, scaled and implemented across the Philippines, with the potential for adoption in other climate-vulnerable nations.
“The Philippines is ready to lead in global climate action with tech-driven solutions. Through CResT, we will turn challenges into opportunities, positioning our nation as a global hub for climate tech innovation, where we develop and scale transformative solutions to meet urgent and future needs,” DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr. said.
