This Webinar forms part of the ongoing collaboration between the DENR and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) through the Accelerating Green and Climate Finance in the Philippines: Nature-based Solutions (Climate Finance PHโ€“NbS) Project. The activity directly supports the ongoing development of the DENR Administrative Order on the Development and Operationalization of NbS Standards, complemented by related initiatives such as NbS research and stocktaking, and the integration of NbS into Peopleโ€™s Survival Fund project design processes.

For a shared understanding of Nature-based Solutions (NbS), here are the three non-negotiable elements for a project to be called an NbS:

1. Addresses one or more societal challenge/s
2. Works in a natural or modified ecosystem
3. Benefits both human and biodiversity

Typhoon and Super Typhoon have left a trail of destruction in the Philippines. Cebu for instance had P26.7-billion flood control projects but saw a death toll of 158 following Tino. Negros Occidental meanwhile saw agricultural losses amounting to over P35M.

The damages have not only reignited netizens' anger over anomalous flood control projects, they also reawakened discussions about the Sierra Madre's natural protection, as well as a new-found interest toward nature-based solutions.

But what are nature-based solutions, or NbS?

The misappropriation of billions of pesos intended for flood control infrastructure represents more than financial theft; it is environmental injustice that disproportionately affects vulnerable communities and biodiversity. While corrupt officials enrich themselves, Filipino families continue to face devastating floods that destroy homes, livelihoods, and lives, especially the poorest sectors, including the urban poor and displaced coastal communities. This corruption perpetuates a cycle where vulnerable sectors remain defenseless against increasingly severe and intense weather events driven by the climate crisis.

As youth advocates, we are particularly outraged that funds meant to protect Filipinos from climate impacts are being stolen. Every peso diverted from legitimate flood control measures is a peso stolen, overlooking and neglecting safety and resilience for human security.
