Introduction (1)


Coastal cities in the Philippines are highly vulnerable to catastrophic climate and disaster events due to natural hazards and coastal, riverine and deltaic urbanization patterns.

Introduction (2)

Background/Context of IDRC Support for CCaR2 (Philippines) 2018-2020

1) International Research Initiative for Climate Change: Coastal Cities at Risk (IRIACC-CCaR), 2011-2016;

2) Coastal Cities at Risk: Vancouver, Bangkok, Lagos, Manila

3) CCaR2 (Philippines): Knowledge generation (concepts and tools of climate and disaster science for resilience knowledge mobilization/transfer (MDRR, NRC) Philippines thru Transdiciplinal action research, involving multi-stakeholder partnerships (science-policy-practice/community)


Objectives

The project aims to enhance the capacity of coastal cities in Metro Manila, Iloilo, and Naga through better understanding of the complexity and dynamics of climate and disaster risk by

(1) undertaking new trans-disciplinary action research,

(2) building capacity of resilience scientists and practitioners,

(3) strengthening public-private partnerships, and

(4) informing the resilience plans of cities.


Project Cities

Metro Manila

- Characterized by rapid urbanization and population growth

- Has weak infrastructural and economic bases (Porio, 2014)

- Rising Prosperity and Widening Inequality (Porio2015, 2017)


Project Cities

Iloilo

- Plays a critical role in socio-economic development in the region

- Identified to be at risk to climate change based on the city’s local climate change action plan


Project Cities

Naga

- Bicol region’s commercial, industrial, and economic center

- Recognized as one of the “Most Competitive Cities in the Philippines”

- Regularly faces climate and weather-related hazards

Research Analytical Framework


Work Theme 1.11. Advance knowledge of climate

change adaptation and disaster risk reduction for resilience

1.1 Characterize and visualize climate and atmospheric hazards across space and time using state of the science approaches in selected coastal cities


Work Theme Leader: Dr. Gemma Narisma(Manila Observatory)

Ensemble mean annual mean temperature and

change under RCP 8.5 scenario by end of 21st

century (2080-2099) (preliminary output)

Annual Mean PM2.5 Concentrations in Metro Manila

Work Theme 1.21. Advance knowledge of

climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction for resilience

1.2 Understand the evolving exposures, and contextual vulnerability and capacities of multiple stakeholders


Work Theme Leader: Dr. Emma Porio(Ateneo de Manila University-Department of Sociology and Anthropology)

Work Theme 22. Develop methodologies and tools for climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction for resilience

2.1. Examine the elements and indicators of a resilient city, developed by the National Resilience Council, and its application in developing a City Resilience Suite.


Systems Thinking

Toolkit of Databases

and Models

Work Theme 22. Develop methodologies and tools for climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction for resilience

2.2. Inform and enhance existing tools and approaches, such as the Climate and Disaster Risk Assessment (CDRA) used in disaster and climate risk governance in the Philippines.


Work Theme Leader: Dr. Charlotte Kendra Gotangco(Ateneo de Manila University-Department of Environmental Science)

Work Theme 3

3. Enhance capacity and transfer knowledge for climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction for resilience

3.1. Enhance capacity through the newly-created Master in Disaster Risk and Resilience (MDRR) program specially designed for the public and private sectors and develop risk and resilience research utilization approaches that can strengthen its implementation.


Work Theme 33. Enhance capacity and transfer knowledge for climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction for resilience

3.2. Deliver multi-stakeholder and transdisciplinary work with the National Resilience Council to inform policy reform and/or formulate public and private practice on resilience, including plans and actions for Resilient Cities 2022


Work Theme Leader: Ms. Antonia Yulo-Loyzaga(Manila Observatory/National Resilience Council)

Expected Outcomes

The project will generate solutions-driven and actionable science that is consumable by vulnerable populations:

(i) through trans-disciplinary and multi-stakeholder support in the preparation of “Resilience 2022” plans;

(ii) by bringing the science of climate and disaster risk and resilience to inform core business of the private sector, government and civil society organizations; and

(iii) by supporting the priorities of the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030, the Paris Agreement, the APEC Disaster Risk Reduction Framework, the New Urban Agenda, and Sustainable Development Goals 7, 11 and 13.
