 Legal Bases of CDRA

The Philippine Climate Change Policy

Republic Act 9729 (Climate Change Act of 2009)
– Ensures the mainstreaming of Climate Change, in
synergy with DRR into the national, sectoral and local
development plans and programs;
– Acknowledge that local government units are the
frontline agencies in the formulation, planning and
implementation of climate change action plans.
Republic Act 10174 (Peoples Survival Fund)
– Provides funding support for climate change
adaptation programs at the local level.

RA 10121: Philippine Disaster Risk

Reduction and Management Act of 2010
An Act strengthening the Philippine Disaster Risk
Reduction and Management System, providing for
the National Disaster Risk Reduction and
Management Framework and institutionalizing the
National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management
Plan, appropriating funds thereof and for other
purposes.

Guides for Mainstreaming CCA-DRR INTO THE CLUP

R. R.A. Slideslides
 Purpose of Mainstreaming CDRA into CLUP

 Better understand natural hazards and

climate change and how these would likely
alter the development path of the locality.
Understand risks posed by natural hazards
and climate change on exposed areas,
sectors and communities.
Identify priority decision areas and
development challenges posed by climate
change and natural hazards R. R.A. Slideslides
 Purpose of Mainstreaming CDRA into CLUP

 Determine realistic projections on

demand and supply of land.
Incorporate spatial development goals,
objectives and targets to reduce risks and
vulnerabilities.
Make informed decisions to effectively
address risks and vulnerabilities.
 Purpose of Mainstreaming CDRA into CLUP

 Identify appropriate risk reduction

and climate change adaptation and
mitigation measures as inputs to the
comprehensive development planning
and investment programming

with natural hazards and

 Basic Concepts

Climate Change Vulnerability Assessment

Disaster Risk Assessment

Basic Concepts

RISK

The expected losses (of lives,

persons injured, property
damaged and economic
activity disrupted) due to a
particular hazard for a
given area and reference
Basic Concepts

VULNERABILITY

Is the degree to which a

system is susceptible to, or
unable to cope with, adverse
effects of climate change,
including climate variability
and extremes
Basic Concepts

SENSITIVITY

Is the degree to
which a system is
affected, either
adversely or
beneficially, by
Climate-Related
Basic Concepts

ADAPTIVE CAPACITY

Is the ability of a system to

adjust to climate change
(including climate
variability extremes) to
moderate potential
damages, to take
advantage of
opportunities, or to cope

Inventory of Hazards and their Characteristics

Characterizing Hazard:
Spatial Extent – areas within the municipality/ city and certain barangays
that are likely to be inundated or affected by a particular hazard;
Magnitude/Intensity – the estimated strength of the hazard that will impact
an area (ie Flood can be expressed in water depth, water flow velocity,
and/or duration, storm surge expressed in wave heights, earthquake ground
shaking expressed as intensity scale);
Frequency/ Probability of Occurrence – refers to the likelihood or the
average recurrence interval (expressed in years) that a hazard event may
happen; chance of it occurring per year (expressed in percentage)

Scoping the potential impacts of climate change

and disasters
Outputs
• Summary of potential climate change impacts and
potential exposed units.
• Impact Chain Diagrams
 CDRA PROCESS -2

Scoping the potential impacts of climate

change and disasters
This steps takes off from the gathering of
climate, climate change, hazard and disaster
information (Step 1)
• Rough mapping of potential and existing impacts
using Impact Chain Diagrams or tables (usually per
ecosystem/ landscape, sector or system of interests);
• Determine climate change stimuli or hazards which
will affect key

IMPACT refers to the effects on natural and human systems of physical events of disasters and of
climate change, - IPCC

Exposure Database Development

Outputs
• Exposure Maps (Population, Urban Use Areas,
Natural Resource-
based Production Areas, Critical Points, Lifeline/
Infrastructure)
• Attribute information on exposure, sensitivity/
adaptive capacity of
the various exposure units.
