Locally-led initiatives in diversifying, strengthening, and protecting livelihoods have emerged in various provinces, municipalities, and even barangays that are most vulnerable to the impacts of climate change and other natural hazards that frequent their areas. Many of these are in need of help from regional and national levels, not just in terms of economic boosts but also technical support, research, and promotion.
In this session, the speakers will be sharing initiatives that are not only building and gearing towards achieving resilient livelihoods but also local efforts that facilitate and support innovative strategies of communities to achieve food security amid worsening impacts of climate change.
Session Objectives
- To share to the participants various community-led livelihood initiatives and/or support to livelihood for communities most affected by natural hazards
- To share community-led innovations, solutions that address food shortage, while considering the environmental health and ecological integrity of their surrounding ecosystems

Indeed, the heart of every preparedness is a well-adaptive, inclusive, and harmonized end-to-end Early Warning System. The Philippines has seen disasters that could have been avoided had communities been more capacitated and organized to develop, practice, and improve their EWS. For years, however, good practices have been shared, discussed, and even more improved while our technology gets more advanced to support the needs of communities.
In this session, case stories, good practices, and experience of our local and international partners on end-to-end EWS will be tackled and closely examined to further identify effective ingredients in formulating, implementing, and improving life-saving end-to-end early warning system.
Session Objectives
- Share the communities and LGU’s adaptive and absorptive capacity in developing an end-to-end early warning system across and beyond their area of coverage
- Provide stories and experience how communities and grassroots, as end-user of an EWS, also defines its effectivity and how to harness these sectors toward realization of a zero casualty with improved local EWS
- Share experience from partners transboundary hazards and how various communities and even countries work together to develop appropriate mechanisms to improve the community preparedness and response to warnings
