USAID's Investments for Environment in Philippines - Dollars to Results
FY 2011 $6.7 M
FY 2012 $7.6 M
FY 2013 $17.0 M
FY 2014 $19.1 M
FY 2015 $20.4 M
The Philippines is one of the most biodiverse countries on earth. With enormous pressure from increasing population, environmental degradation, occurrence of natural disasters, and climate change, USAID is helping conserve the Philippines’ critical biological resources and strengthen resilience of communities.
Why Our Work Matters…
Earth's average temperature has risen by 1.4°F over the past century, and is projected to rise another 2 to 11.5°F over the next hundred years.

Adaptive capacity is the ability to adjust to climate change, to moderate potential damages, to take advantage of opportunities, or to cope with the consequences.

“Improved natural resource management” includes activities that promote enhanced management of natural resources for one or more objectives, such as conserving biodiversity, sustaining soil or water resources, mitigating climate change, and/or promoting sustainable agriculture. This is essential for preserving biodiversity and reducing the impact of climate change.
Training activities strengthen agency and in-country capacity, as well as promote strategic partnerships. They improve the likelihood that development partners will continue to implement climate change projects after U.S. government support has ended, as well as increase the likelihood that agency staff will program climate change funds effectively for maximum impact.
Reducing GHG emissions has long-term impacts on slowing climate change. Reducing GHG emissions can also have strong ancillary benefits for pollution, security, and health.
Institutions with improved capacity will be better able to govern, coordinate, analyze, advise, or act to mitigate climate change through clean energy sources or absorption of carbon in forests adaptation, or to adapt to the risks and consequences of climate change.
Policies, laws, strategies, plans, agreements and regulations include those developed and formally endorsed by governmental, non-governmental, civil society, or private sector stakeholders. An improved enabling environment through legal and policy reform, strategy development, and planning is essential for ensuring that efforts and investments in climate change have legal and strategic backing and institutional ownership.

A hectare is equal to 2.47 acres or 10,000 square meters. Improved natural resource management includes activities that promote enhanced management of natural resources for one or more objectives, such as sustaining soil and/or water resources, mitigating climate change, and/or promoting sustainable agriculture.

Sustained private investment is a positive indicator of a supportive enabling environment. Good programs can attract additional investments and effective strategies, techniques, or necessary capacities for addressing climate change.

A hectare is equal to 2.47 acres or 10,000 square meters. "Improved Management” includes activities that promote enhanced management of natural resources for the objective of conserving biodiversity in areas that are identified as biologically significant through national, regional, or global priority-setting processes. This is essential for preserving biodiversity and reducing impact of climate change.
