| Project Detail |
In the Philippines, the human and economic damage caused by typhoons that occur every year is enormous, and the repeated damage to social infrastructure such as agricultural production and logistics has a serious and long-term impact on economic activity. In Metro Manila, where assets and capital functions are concentrated, disaster countermeasures are particularly urgent in order to reduce and alleviate economic damage. Water disasters frequently occur in local cities, and the socio-economic situation is weakening due to the fragile infrastructure environment. Development is being hindered. In contrast, although the country is progressing in its efforts to combat Climate Change, no progress has been made in concrete measures to reduce damage at the local level. Therefore, it is necessary to promote balanced development of the entire country by promoting damage mitigation measures and improving resilience to water disasters by promoting the creation and implementation of local Climate Change action plans, thereby promoting sustainable development. This cooperation aims to build a hybrid flood/drought risk assessment model that combines Climate Change, hydrology, agriculture, and economic activities in the Pampanga River Basin and Pasig Marikina River - Laguna Lake Basin near Metro Manila. By conducting water disaster resilience assessments and visualizing the effects of advance investment Disaster Risk Reduction, we aim to make policy recommendations for sustainable regional economic development based on environmental and Climate Change, and create policies and plans related to Climate Change and Disaster Risk Reduction.·Contribute to improvement. |
