The topics aim to educate the participants on Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) such as clean water and sanitation; sustainable cities and communities; responsible consumption and production; climate action; and life below water and on land through actual community excursions. Aside from the Philippines, participants from Indonesia, Malaysia, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Tanzania, and Rwanda also showcased relevant research on climate change and agroecosystem environmental management. The short-term course was co-sponsored by the Southeast Asian Regional Center for Graduate Study and Research in Agriculture (SEARCA) and its partner universities. The participation of the CLSU delegates was made possible through the Commission on Higher Education (CHED), the Leveling-Up Philippine Higher Education Institutions in Agriculture, Fisheries, and Natural Resources (LevelUPHEI AFAR), which aims to upgrade the institutional capacities of the State Universities and Colleges – Association of Colleges of Agriculture in the Philippines, Inc.
