Towards Resilience and a Just Transition: Philippines Undertake Climate Economic Modelling
August 14, 2025
With support from UNDP and the UK Government, the Philippines has launched a climate economic modeling initiative to assess the long-term impacts of climate change and inform policy for a just transition. The program aims to strengthen institutional capacity, integrate climate risks into economic planning, and promote inclusive, resilient development pathways.
The workshop, held at Crowne Plaza in Ortigas on 29-30 July, brought together technical experts and policymakers from key government agencies to explore a new analytical and modelling framework that simulates climate change’s impact on the economy. This activity is a key initiative of the Climate Finance Network (CFN) project implemented by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in the Philippines in partnership with the Department of Finance (DoF), with financial support from the UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) through the Climate Action for a Resilient Asia (CARA) programme.
