IN the hallowed halls of Harvard, where intellect and aspiration converge, a celestial symphony unfolded — a harmonious blend of science, service and unwavering faith. Science Diplomat Glenn Banaguas, the multi-awarded scientist and esteemed United Nations Sasakawa Laureate from the Philippines, illuminated Harvard Climate Action Week.

Banaguas' magnum opus, 'Climate Smart Philippines: Science for service,' resonated like a celestial score. This symphony was no solo act; it thrived on multi-stakeholder participation. Government, academia and communities all harmonized in a chorus of purpose.
