Day 2 Afternoon Panel: Partnerships for Disaster and Climate Resilience #resilientPH

This session will have two panel discussions on key elements of resilience: disaster preparedness, climate change adaptation and transformation. Much of current efforts to build disaster and climate resilience in the Philippines are sector-specific. To facilitate discussions, the sectors are grouped into three clusters: (i) resources which include water, food and energy; (ii) social services including health care, education and livelihood; and (iii) infrastructure encompassing shelter, buildings, roads/bridges, information and communications. In addition, panel discussion 2 will also take up the role of insurance and micro-finance in building resilience.

Following an overview presentation by Albay Governor Jose Salceda on the key elements of resilience cutting across the three sectoral clusters, the panelists will be invited to address the following questions:

(i) What does it take to become disaster and climate resilient in water, food and agriculture, energy, health care, education, livelihood, and infrastructure?

(ii) What role can insurance and micro-finance play in building resilience in these sectors?

(iii) What are the gaps and challenges in achieving resilience in these sectors? and,

(iv) What are the opportunities for collaboration among stakeholders – particularly among the government at the national and local levels, the business sector, the NGOs and the international community, in
moving the resilience agenda forward?
