SEND A REQUESTA Sustainable Future
A Sustainable Future’ is a modern Filipino guide to a deeper understanding of sustainability, one that goes beyond just words that have turned what it means to be ‘sustainable’ into a mere catchphrase. Brian Llamanzares, Ph.D., outlines—in several ways than one—the potential to turn the Philippines into a socio-economic model for sustainability. This book, the author’s first, proposes key areas where the country can make changes toward a sustainable future, not just in terms of numbers and figures but through actionable proposals both at the national and local government levels.
“I took my master’s in climate and society abroad so that I could come back home and contribute to the wealth of knowledge we have here in the Philippines. As such, I decided that I would write a book that covered all the basics on sustainability so that teachers could use it as a basis to teach a program on sustainability.”

Quotes from the Forewords
Senator Juan Miguel “Migz” Zubiri
“Brian Poe Llamanzares delves into the interconnectedness of sustainability issues - from the repercussions of destructive fishing methods in the Philippine fisheries sector to developing resilient urban infrastructure and strengthening the country's disaster risk reduction efforts through legislation. Through this, he creates an action-oriented approach to climate and sustainability theories which sets this book apart from other scholarship.”
Senator Lorna Regina “Loren” Legarda
“Presenting the climate-resilient agriculture (CRA) concept is a brilliant way to further emphasize that sustainability is and a result of the mindfulness of our actions, our world, and our desire for a better future. The brilliance of Brian Poe Llamanzares reflects in the forthright title of this book. Indeed, as it implies, there may not be any future if not a sustainable one.”
Senator Win Gatchalian
“All in all, A Sustainable Future is both an accessible academic reference and a manifesto for change in Philippine governance and politics. The clear vision for a more sustainable future presented in this book is one that is enlightening to decision-makers, thought leaders, and climate justice warriors alike.”
Mr. Antonio La Viña
“I encourage everyone, especially young people, and decision makers, not only to read A Sustainable Future but to take the next step and act on the author's ideas. I echo the author's final words: "It is up to take action and build that future. It's time we took charge of the destiny of this country. There will always be hope as long as there are those who are willing to dream."”
