sNAPshot: Philippines’s Approach to Initiating Sector Integration of Adaptation Considerations

The Philippines employs a nationally driven approach to climate adaptation, centered on the Climate Change Commission (CCC) and the National Climate Change Action Plan (NCCAP) 20112028. The CCC coordinates across national agencies, local government units, and the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) to align climate priorities with the Philippine Development Plan. Local implementation is supported by the Peoples Survival Fund, while international donor coordination is managed through the Philippines Development Forum and NEDA's public investment program.

• The Philippines utilizes a nationally driven approach to sector integration, where the Climate Change Commission (CCC) leads the coordination, monitoring, and evaluation of climate-related plans and programs.
• The National Climate Change Action Plan (NCCAP) for 20112028 serves as the primary guide for integrating climate priorities across sectors, focusing on areas such as food security, water sufficiency, sustainable energy, and human security.
• Institutional coordination is achieved through the CCC's collaboration with the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) for development planning and the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council for adaptation and disaster risk frameworks.
• The Peoples Survival Fund facilitates cross-sector integration at the local level by financing adaptation programs in Local Government Units (LGUs) across sectors including health, infrastructure, agriculture, and environment.
• Donor coordination for adaptation is managed via the Philippines Development Forum, which uses thematic working groups, and NEDA, which manages the public investment program for projects exceeding USD 12 million.
