Description:

The project is a pilot study that tackles the development of ecosystem accounts in Southern Palawan. It will aim to answer key policy questions in the Philippines. In particular, by constructing an ecosystem account for Southern Palawan, the Phil-WAVES Technical Assistance (TA) will be able to analyze different development options for Southern Palawan; one of the few largely untouched ecosystems in the Philippines. Key policy questions that will be addressed are the economic, environmental and social trade offs of different development paths based on mineral extraction, ecotourism development, or fisheries and agriculture.

Description:

The Program on Forests Study on “The Role of Forests in Reducing Poverty and Enhancing Climate Resilience” is a study of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) with support from the World Bank (WB). It aims to enhance understanding of how forests and the ecosystem services they provide contribute and mutually reinforce both poverty reduction and resilience in the Philippines. To achieve this, the study will be focused on measuring and valuing ecosystem services, specifically provisioning and regulating ecosystem services, as a component of natural capital accounting. By applying approaches for capturing the economic contribution of both provisioning and regulating ecosystem services of forests, the study will provide the evidence to support the joint strategic focus on building resilience of the poor through sustainable management of forests.
