!ustaina"ilit# is please$ to announce a new opportunit# to assist %hilippine cities to $e elop an$ implement Climate Resilience !trategies& %hilippine cities are here"# in ite$ to su"mit an Expression of Interest to participate& 'his $ocument outlines how the program will operate( the requirements an$ "enefits for participating cities& )ackgroun$ The Philippines is highly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. The archipelago, though no stranger to weather-related disasters, has been experiencing massive floods, powerful storms, landslides and droughts in increasing intensity and frequency over the past few years. These events cause widespread destruction, disrupting the countrys economic development and threatening the lives of its citizens. ith much of its rural population still dependent on agriculture and fishing for their livelihoods, as well as having many of its urban areas vulnerable to climate-related disaster events, it is vital for the Philippines to adapt to the adverse effects of a changing climate. !t is important to integrate adaptation into development planning to achieve a climate-resilient, sustainable development path. To address this need, the Philippine "overnment has passed #epublic $ct %&'% or the ()limate )hange $ct of '**%+ that creates the )limate )hange )ommission and the ,ational -ramewor. /trategy on )limate )hange. The )ommission is mandated to ensure the mainstreaming of climate change, in synergy with disaster ris. reduction, into national, sectoral and local development plans and programs. The ,ational -ramewor. /trategy )limate )hange on the other hand outlines how the national government plans to build a climate ris.-resilient Philippines by building the adaptive capacity of communities. #ecognizing that 0"1s are the front-liners for climate change adaptation, the )limate )hange $ct also mandates local governments to create their own 0ocal )limate )hange $ction Plans. The #oc.efeller -oundation launched the $)))#, program in '**2 to focus on the impact of climate change on the urban poor in $sia. !t helps cities to develop plans for sustainable development, poverty alleviation and climate resilience. The $)))#, approach has been developed in ten cities in $sia, including 3andar 0ampung and /emarang in !ndonesia. $)))#, in con4unction with !)05! is now offering to wor. with Philippine cities, building on the experiences gained in the first four years of the program. *ision The ultimate ision of this program is to "uil$ resilience to climate change across all ur"an s#stems an$ groups( in particular the poorest an$ most marginali+e$ . !)05! will wor. with cities and city networ.s to assist cities to prepare for climate action 6 to plan a climate resilience strategy and become (investable+. Through this experience cities will build their capacities to plan for future stressors and to build broad resilience. %rocess 5ach city will be supported to wor. through the following phases over a period of 7' to 72 months and will be expected to reach at least the end of Phase 8 9)limate #esilience /trategy: during the period of the agreement; Political support, governance structure, internal resources, initial scoping
