Philippines
Timeframe
June 2020 to June 2025
With over 20 annual tropical cyclones and seismic shocks Philippines is particularly vulnerable to climate-related and geological hazards.
The country also faces poverty, aging infrastructure and food insecurity. Agriculture contributes around 9% of GDP and around 1/3 of its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
The Philippines has been a member of the GRA since 2010. The NZCSA initiative is supporting the Philippines to improve GHG inventory and develop Tier 2 emissions factors for livestock, particularly cattle. The International Rice Research Institute (IRRI), a CGIAR centre for rice research is based in the Philippines.
