Some Socioeconomic Impacts (IPC 2011, Comiso et al 2014, PIDS 2012)
• Livelihoods and socioeconomic• Social relations and cohesion• Displacement and resettlement• Health impacts

Livelihoods and socioeconomic • Reduction in
income due to loss of assets and capital caused by disaster, resorted to less capital intensive, less stable and less profitable occupations
(Institute of Philippine Culture, 2011)

• Decline of profit among small business
• Overseas income, where available, infuse lost assets and capitals
• Food or cash for work • Conditional cash
transfer• Credit or grants

ECOTOWN AS A STRATEGY TOWARDS RESILIENCE OF METRO MANILA, PHILIPPINES
The aftermath of Typhoon Ondoy:
![Page 15: Aftermath of Typhoon Ondoy (Ketsana): Exploring Ecotown as a Strategy for Enhancing Climate Resilience of Metro Manila, Philippines Victoria Espaldon,](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062409/5697bfe81a28abf838cb63d1/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
What is an ecotown?
A planning unit composed of municipalities or a group of municipalities located within and in the boundaries of critical key biodiversity areas (forest, coastal/marine and fishery, or watersheds), highly vulnerable to climate change risks due to its geographic location, population and poverty situation (NCCAP, 2014).

Major Findings• The Upper Marikina River Basin Protected
Landscape or UMRBPL experienced rapid transformation from forest cover to built up areas; and open and grasslands from 2004-2012.
• 73% of the area is vulnerable to landslide, erosion and drought (19%) and some areas to both flooding and landslide.

• Population growth is high (2.2%) being close to Metro Manila, and at BAU annual growth rate, population can increase up to 4million by 2050.

• Differential poverty incidence across 5 municipalities, but generally high, hence exposure and sensitivity is very high.

Criteria for Prioritization• Urgency • No regrets option• Efficiency• Equity and social
acceptability• Sustainability
• Replicability and scalability
• Environmental impacts• Timing• Level of implementation• Bottom up vs top down

A list of adaptation and mitigation measures were generated from different consultations and later prioritized.

Summary of Process1. Conduct of integrated vulnerability assessment;2. Identification of specific vulnerabilities by specific geographic area;3. Identification of key climate change adaptation measures based on
experts opinion, local government officials and key community leaders;
4. Identification and prioritization of key criteria for selection of priority measures;
5. Ranking of priority activities by local experts, key informants and members of local communities using multiple criteria; and
6. Development of project profiles and Cost Benefit Analysis.

CONCLUSION
• The road towards climate resiliency for Metro Manila can be achieved under 5 conditions: using watershed as basis for overall planning, site specific vulnerabilities can be determined; rational population management in place, measures are prioritized to address vulnerabilities by local communities with local government units well informed by science and finally integrated into local policies, CLUPs and Annual Investment Plan.
• The participatory process is tedious but it can be worth local, national and international Investments. This story, however, is unfolding and needing community based monitoring of results of identified programs of action to ensure meeting the set goals.
