Climate change & povertyare
“The two defining challenges of this century.”
There is hardly anything the Philippines can do to prevent climate change.
Our survival chance is to focus on reducing poverty.

Right and wrong ways of doing research

New teaching methods
To understand the effects of vital issues like climate change, innovative
education will play a critical role.
• Innovative STEM teaching in the US. Entire department is the unit of change.
• Inquiry-based science education in EU.
• E-textbook: Online teaching & learning.

Features
• The principal criterion of faculty recruitment & promotion is research.
• Emphasis is graduate education.
Developing research universities
For training faculty of other universities,which in turn will provide better prepared teachers at secondary and primary levels.
![Page 22: 1. Climate change & poverty are “The two defining challenges of this century.” There is hardly anything the Philippines can do to prevent climate change](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062519/5697bfeb1a28abf838cb7d36/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Teaching and research
The relationship between the two has long been established.
• The two are positively correlated — teaching effectiveness benefits from research activity.
• Research and teaching as joint activity is central to the idea of the modern university.
• These two activities are so mutually reinforcing that they must coexist in the same institutions.
![Page 23: 1. Climate change & poverty are “The two defining challenges of this century.” There is hardly anything the Philippines can do to prevent climate change](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062519/5697bfeb1a28abf838cb7d36/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
The key is valid publication for the:
• Evaluator to do evaluation • Proponent to get research grant • Researcher to get recognition • PhD student to get the degree • etc.
PhD vs publication
Graduate degree: indicator of capability.
Valid publication: indicator of performance.

Concluding statements
Other public expenditure can be postponed,but delaying measures to mitigate climate impacts “is a high-risk, high-cost option.”
We should be prepared and do what must be done. We hardly have better alternatives.
Decisions on appointments, funding, and performance should be based on
objective assessment.
