1 Revisiting the Socio-economic Impacts of the 2004 Typhoon Disaster in the Philippines: Implications to Environmental Governance and Climate Change Adaptation Juan M. Pulhin, Ph.D. Professor College of Forestry and Natural Resources University of the Philippines Los Baños 2015 APEC Typhoon Symposium (APTS) Lessons Learned from Disastrous Typhoons November 24-25, 2015 IESM Auditorium, UP Diliman, Quezon City Philippines
2 Outline of Presentation Background Socio-economic Impacts Perspectives on the Cause(s) of the Disaster Implications to Environmental Governance and Climate Change Adaptation
3 Background Philippines - one of the most disaster prone countries in the world. Ranked first in the 2015 Global Climate Risk Index among > 190 countries that suffered most from weather-related loss events in 2013 Ranked fifth among the most affected by climate disasters in , (with Honduras, Myanmar, Haiti and Nicaragua topping the list)
4 Background Between 14 November and 4 December 2004, 2 typhoons and 2 tropical depressions brought massive destructions particularly in the municipalities of Real, Infanta, and General Nakar in Quezon and in Dingalan in Aurora, Philippines (Gaillard et al. 2007) Unding hit Quezon between 14 and 21 November 2004 Tropical depression Violeta struck Luzon on 22 and 23 November Tropical depression Winnie hit the eastern portion of northern Quezon especially in General Nakar, Infanta on 28 November Typhoon Yoyong came on November 30 and devastated the Northeastern quarter of the country

15 Perspectives on the causes of the disaster The media and anti-logging advocates immediately blamed the calamity to logging activities which was claimed to be rampant in the area Some groups including technical people are of the opinion that the cause was more of natural brought about by exceptionally high rainfall and the geomorphological characteristics of the soil and rock strata in the site.

21 Implications to Environmental Governance and CCA
22 1. Need for a more comprehensive framework for analysing and addressing risks and disasters IPCC- AR5 framework on solution space as a take-off point Source: IPCC WG2-SPM, 2014
23 2. Implementing integrated approach to reducing people s vulnerability conducting comprehensive vulnerability/risk assessments as basis for integrated planning enhancing capability to observe, monitor and forecast floods, landslides and other climate related disasters setting in place early warning systems elevating awareness among vulnerable sectors
24 2. Implementing integrated approach to reducing people s vulnerability improving land use zoning and implementation by mainstreaming climate change and DRR improving equitable access to areas suitable for settlement and related purposes implementing sustainable livelihood addressing structural barriers that contributes to vulnerability like corruption, unmanaged population, and landlessness.
25 3. Promoting sustainability of watershed resources particularly forests a. promoting viability of local economy development of viable forest and non-forest based industry b. promoting coordinated upland-lowland dev t integrated area development using the watershed as a planning unit genuine comprehensive land use planning
26 3. Promoting sustainability of watershed resources c. improving policy environment to motivate sustainable use and management of forests by communities, LGUs, private sector, other responsible stewards push for the adoption of sustainable forest management law that integrates climate change and DRR complete forest boundary delineation prevent reactive policies iron out inconsistencies among policies
27 3. Promoting sustainability of watershed resources d. Rationalizing wood industry Creation of forest-based industry board Review and improve process of issuing permits to own and operate chainsaws and sawmills Policy reform to improve climate for growth of investment on sustainable forest-based industry
28 4. Institutionalizing science-based policy formulation and implementation a. Increase investment in research b. Revitalize monitoring of key watersheds c. Strengthen linkage between research and policy sectors
