Infrastructure is essential in supporting the Philippines’ rapidly growing economy. Yet, infrastructure assets and operations are significantly exposed to climate-related risks. Building climate resilience into infrastructure planning and financing is therefore a strategic priority for the country.
This policy paper presents the findings from an OECD policy dialogue carried out in the Philippines on mainstreaming climate resilience in infrastructure planning and development.
It provides an overview of current policies and practices as well as policy recommendations for the government to further strengthen the resilience of infrastructure to climate change and raise future ambitions.
