Philippines: ClimBeR Inception Workshop Report
Building Systemic Resilience against Climate Variability and Extremes (ClimBeR) is a Climate Resilience Initiative of CGIAR which aims to transform the climate adaptation capacity of food, land, and water systems in the Philippines and 5 countries in Africa (Kenya, Morocco, Senegal, and Zambia) and Latin America (Guatemala). Through the ClimBeR initiative, CGIAR aims to create gender-sensitive and innovative financial mechanisms, while incorporating science that combines climate information, credit, and insurance, to build resilience among agriculture actors across the value chain while recognizing that while innovative technological interventions are critical, the enabling social, institutional and governance environment drives the transformative process. ClimBeR also seeks to identify the links between climate change and human security in order to decrease the risk of conflict and displacement. ClimBer initiative is introduced to countries through inception meetings and workshops and attended by identified potential national partners and collaborators. The inception workshop in the Philippines was held on December 06, 2022 in Quezon City and was attended by about 50 participants from the government and non-government organizations. This event served as a launch of the initiative in the Philippines paving the way forward for collaboration and partnerships to fulfill the initiative objectives for a more climate change resilient agriculture in the Philippines. This document reports the highlights of the event, the discussions and next steps.
