Enabling Regions 10 and 11 to Cope with Climate Change

AUTHOR:
UNDP in Philippines
DATE PUBLISHED:
December 2014
KEY INFO:
The project will also support information, education and communications campaign to raise the awareness of the general public on climate change and its impacts, as well as, enhance the competencies of the concerned local government units on mainstreaming climate/disaster risk management into local land use and development planning and regulatory processes

What is the project about?

Mindanao in the southern part of the Philippines is not traditionally prone to typhoons. Therefore, the onslaught of Tropical Storm Washi (locally named Sendong) in the northern part of the island caused unexpected devastation. Typhoon Washi was the most destructive tropical storm in 2011 causing more than a thousand casualties, with over 6,000 people injured and about 200 missing people in various regions in the country. Of the seven regions affected, the region of Northern Mindanao (Region 10) suffered the most with an estimated cost of Php1.85 billion in damages to properties.

A year later, Mindanao was hit by another major typhoon, Bopha (locally named Pablo), claiming more than a thousand lives and displacing close to a million people. Typhoon Bopha, the strongest cyclone to hit the Philippines in 2012, caused widespread destruction estimated at PhP40 billion, with Davao Region (Region 11) incurring the most damage.

While climate projections for the years 2020 and 2050 indicate a generally drying trend in Mindanao, a closer look at Regions 10 and 11 reveal a positive increase in average precipitation during the period of December to January.

The experience of both regions in Mindanao underscores the growing vulnerabilities of the country's metropolitan centers and human settlements, particularly those with inherent natural hazards. With rapidly increasing population, these vulnerable urban areas must be prioritized in terms of climate change adaptation and disaster risk management.

The Project Climate Twin Phoenix aims to assess the disaster vulnerabilities of the affected areas of Regions 10 and 11 in Mindanao to geological, meteorological and meteorologically-induced hazards due to climate change. The results will provide the basis for priority mitigation actions like community- based and -managed early warning systems, and integrated contingency planning and mobilization.

The project will also support information, education and communications campaign to raise the awareness of the general public on climate change and its impacts, as well as, enhance the competencies of the concerned local government units on mainstreaming climate/disaster risk management into local land use and development planning and regulatory processes. And to increase the resilience of vulnerable communities, the project will support the development of climate resilient livelihoods and risk sharing/transfer models.

In 2012, the Project focused on the completion of start-up activities including conduct of coordination and inception meetings with relevant stakeholders, which helped firm up the project targets and outputs; and forging partnerships with key government agencies, local government units, academic institutions, and non-government organizations.

In January 2013, the Project held an Experts' Group Meeting to reconcile existing methodologies and data requirements for flood modeling to generate flood hazard maps using projected rainfall patterns.

In the aftermath of Typhoon Bopha that hit the country in December 2012, the Project extended its assistance to the affected provinces of Compostela Valley and Davao Oriental in Region 11, which was formalized in February 2013 through a Memorandum of Understanding. The Project aims to build the capacities of the local government units, and undertake the refinement of existing risk maps of these two provinces taking into account the climate change projections for the Bopha-affected areas.

The Project also conducted a Training of Trainers on the Basics of Climate and Disaster Risks, Climate Change Adaptation and Disaster Risk Management as well as a Training of Trainers on Geographic Information System for local partners to develop a pool of trainers proficient in the basic concepts of disaster risks and climate change including assessment methodologies necessary to integrate disaster risk reductions and climate change adaptation considerations in development planning processes; and build their skills on exposure and vulnerability mapping using geospatial technology tools.

Major sources of financing (including all sources providing more than $100,000).

CLIMATE ADAPTATION CAPACITY STUDY OF EASTERN MINDANAO PHILIPPINES

AUTHOR:
United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction
DATE:
June 15, 2021
KEY INFO:
Within the last 50 years, the country has lost almost 80% of its mangroves in its coastal areas. In addition, large scale deforestation contributes to a decline of its forest cover at an average speed of 150 thousand hectares per year which is a major cause of landslides and flash floods.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Due to the Philippines location along the typhoon belt, an average of 20 typhoons enters the country and around nine make landfall.

Landslides and flash flood due to heavy rains events are closely linked to typhoons. Human factors also increase the Philippines vulnerabilities and disaster risks.

Within the last 50 years, the country has lost almost 80% of its mangroves in its coastal areas. In addition, large scale deforestation contributes to a decline of its forest cover at an average speed of 150 thousand hectares per year which is a major cause of landslides and flash floods.

When Typhoon Bopha landed in Eastern Mindanao, Philippines, in December 2012, flash floods and landslides have buried communities in Compostella Valley with huge rocks and timbers and businesses and farms were also destroyed. Compostella Valley, a community in Eastern Mindanao, Philippines.

The study examinef the communities' adaptive capacity to climate disasters such as flash floods and landslides.

Although typhoon Bopha has less rainfall than earlier typhoons, the flash floods and landslides that ensued devastated four provinces in Eastern Mindanao.

The category five typhoon, the strongest in over a century, made landfall in the Davao Oriental area. The typhoon affected over 6 million people, killed at least 1000 and destroyed more than 200 thousand houses.

Damages from four provinces were estimated at US$1 billion from losses in infrastructure, agricultural produce, and private assets across four provinces, with Compostella Valley as the most affected of all.

The study assessed the adaptive capacity of communities in Compostella Valley, particularly in the municipality of New Bataan who has seen the worst effects of landslides and flash floods.

The study examined the sources of the communities' vulnerabilities and measure the level of their adaptive capacity to recover from the loss and damages of flash floods and landslides due to typhoon Bopha.

The study uses the intergovernmental panel on climate change (IPCC) definition of adaptive capacity, which is the ability of a system to adjust to climate change to moderate potential damages, take advantage of opportunities, or cope with the consequences.

The system in the study refers to the society that has to cope with climate extremes like typhoons that cause flash floods and landslides from heavy rains. The consequences here covers economic, social and ecological changes that alter society's way of life.

According to the study, the ability to cope by society further depends on three factors: their awareness of the problems, ability to manage and act, which defines the human adaptive behaviour.

Researchers surveyed three case study villages in Compostella Valley. The respondents were grouped according to their adaptive capacity levels from very high, high, low, and very low.

The findings show diversity in adaptive capacity based on gender and access to resources. Women and people in poverty have shown a low adaptive capacity versus men and those in a better economic position or have access to resources or external support.

Loss of livelihoods and the ability to recover them, and the availability of external assistance are significant factors that reduce communities' vulnerabilities and help them recover after the disaster.

Comparing respondents whose losses were limited to houses and livelihoods versus those who lost both homes and experienced human loss, the former perceived their property damage as their most severe loss.

The latter perceived that damage to their houses is a less important source of vulnerability and do not consider relocation as an important concern after the disaster.

The study reveals an inherent resilience of people when confronted with massive losses. When they experience human loss, damages to their properties and livelihoods become less essential barriers to recovery, especially when faced with immediate assistance to help them with their post-disaster recovery.
