The government of the Philippines resolved a climate legislative in 2009, which provides adaptation and mitigation. However, institutional capacities for the implementation of a consistent climate policy are weak and activities are not or insufficiently integrated into the planning process. The project therefore strengthens the national climate commission in development, implementation and coordination of the national climate strategy, and the national climate action plan and its integration in the planning system, e.g. applying a innovative monitoring system of effects of adaptation, local climate-compatible planning, support of the law of renewable energies,and with small-scale projects for better adaptation, mitigation and creation of carbon sinks with high possibility of duplication and multiplicator effects. The objective of the project is a better adaptation to climate change and emission reduction.
