Philippines Project
Timeframe
June 2020 to June 2025
Context
With over 20 annual tropical cyclones and seismic shocks, the 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.
Progress
The Improvements to the inventory are supporting the development of domestic agricultural policies by establishing robust production data, identifying mitigation opportunities for livestock and tracking reductions.
