PROJECT | DATE APPROVED | ACCREDITED ENTITY | DESCRIPTION |
Accelerating adoption of climate-resilient agricultural production systems through integrative landscape approach to manage climatic risks (PILAR) | 21 August 2023 | Land Bank | The Philippines ranks fourth on the long-term Climate Risk Index (CRI, 2000–2019), recording the highest number of extreme climatic events with estimated losses of US$3.2 billion PPP—equivalent to half of the country’s GDP. Severe typhoons and droughts are expected to continue, underscoring the need for robust interventions. PILAR aims to enhance the resilience of the country’s agricultural landscapes by overcoming financial and technical barriers to scaling climate-resilient agriculture (CRA) and by identifying transformational livelihood pathways for approximately 3.5 million people. This initiative seeks to improve the integration of agricultural development with climate responsiveness and to transform LANDBANK’s investment capacity in CRA, with a focus on the Pampanga, Bicol, and Agusan river basins. |
A Climate Resilient Leyte through Integrated River Basin Governance in Flood Risk Management | 9 July 2024 | Land Bank | The Province of Leyte faces significant vulnerability due to climate variability, with increased floods and typhoons disrupting ecosystems, undermining rural livelihoods, and affecting the local economy. Effective ecosystem management can mitigate these extreme events, particularly for vulnerable rural communities. This project aims to institutionalize integrated flood management by merging ecosystem and disaster risk management systems. This will enable the planning and development of nature-based flood and landslide management infrastructure as part of regional DRRM. Key components include: strengthening river basin governance for nature-based disaster resilience, promoting community-managed nature-based solutions, implementing an integrated flood forecasting and early warning system, and delivering gender-responsive capacity building in disaster risk reduction across eastern Leyte. |
