The Philippines has a technical offshore wind potential of 178 GW, with the Department of Energy having awarded 92 Wind Energy Service Contracts totaling nearly 65 GW as of April 2024. To address a looming energy crisis caused by the expected depletion of the Malampaya natural gas field by 2030, the report identifies three priority zones—Manila Bay, Tayabas Bay, and Guimaras—that are suitable for initial fixed-bottom installations due to wind speeds exceeding 7 m/s and shallow waters. These zones are intended to serve as catalysts for the long-term market, which must eventually transition to floating foundation turbines since 90 percent of the country's technical potential is located in deep waters.

The document examines the application of the Partners for Resilience (PfR) approach in Barangay Potrero, Malabon City, to address chronic flooding. It highlights the importance of localising early warning systems, fostering inter-city cooperation within the Tullahan River Basin, and integrating climate science into community-based disaster risk management.

The New Manila International Airport, a US$15 billion project by San Miguel Corporation, has led to the displacement of approximately 700 families and the destruction of climate-critical mangrove forests in Manila Bay. The report highlights a lack of transparency in public consultations, alleging that the project encroaches on a 'strict protection zone' and disrupts the East Asian-Australasian Flyway for migratory birds. It further criticizes the involvement of Dutch company Royal Boskalis and the insurance provided by Atradius DSB, arguing that these entities failed to adhere to OECD guidelines and international sustainability standards. The document calls for stronger EU corporate accountability laws and independent investigations into the project's violations.

Global Witness and Kalikasan People’s Network for the Environment have welcomed the suspension of reclamation projects in Manila Bay by the Department of Natural Resources (DENR), pending reviews of environmental and social impacts. The organizations are urging President Marcos to issue a written order to ensure this suspension covers all developments, including the US $15 billion New Manila International Airport. This airport project, led by San Miguel Corporation, is accused of displacing hundreds of families and destroying climate-critical habitats since its approval in September 2019.
