The Philippines' Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) is set to finalize a framework in 2025 that incorporates sustainable solutions in state policies to combat climate change, protect the environment, and preserve natural resources. The framework will replace the current Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA) principle and focus on nature-based solutions (NbS).
The Department of Environment and Natural Resources is set to finalize next year a framework that incorporates sustainable solutions in state policies to fight climate change, protect the environment and preserve natural resources.
“With support from UNDP, we are finalizing the Forest Carbon Policy Roadmap and conducting NbS stocktaking studies to map the current landscape of NbS implementation across the environment and natural resources sector, non-profit, and the private sector,” she added. Elenida Basug, director of the DENR Climate Change Service, said NbS must interoperate within an ecosystem of policies, such as in the Philippine Development Plan 2022-2028, the National Adaptation Plan 2023-2050 and the Philippine Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan 2015-2028.
“Given the complexity and interconnected nature of these challenges, interventions must address them simultaneously and equitably. UNDP is dedicated to championing gender-responsive nature-based solutions as a viable and cost-effective approach to combating the climate crisis while restoring and protecting the environment,” he said
