'Two of the most vulnerable groups whose participation is critical for the NAP are indigenous peoples and the youth'
“Think globally, act locally” has served as words of wisdom for the environmental movement for decades.
It is arguably the most climate policy-making document that the Philippines must properly develop and implement, given our status as one of the countries at highest risk to said crisis. Adaptation has repeatedly been mentioned as the “anchor strategy” for addressing this issue and is expected to continue being so amid projected worsening impacts, from higher sea levels to more intense droughts.
As unfortunate and unjust as it is, developing countries like the Philippines still have to deal with the reality that the global funding for enacting climate solutions is not as accessible as it should be. Actions cannot be delayed, not with strong typhoons and an El Niño to be expected in the final months of the year.
Given its current approach to climate action previously mentioned, it also means that the NAP must be harmonized with existing mitigation strategies. This includes the Nationally Determined Contributions, another self-determined plan wherein the nation committed to reduce its GHG emissions by 75% within the current decade, albeit with support from developed countries. Adaptation, just like any aspect of climate action, is a long-term approach.
