The Philippines thus developed the National Climate Change Action Plan (NCCAP) to achieve country-driven programs on adaptation and mitigation. [10] Based on technical evaluations and discussions with government organisations and stakeholders, the NCCAP sets the nation's plan for adaptation and mitigation from 2011–2028.
The Philippines is projected to be one of the most vulnerable countries to the impacts of climate change, [5] which would exacerbate weather extremes. As the Philippines lies on the Pacific Ring of Fire , it is prone to natural disasters , like earthquakes, typhoons, and volcanic eruptions.

30 by 30 (or 30x30) is a worldwide initiative for governments to designate 30% of Earth's land and ocean area as protected areas by 2030. [1] [2] The target was proposed by a 2019 article in Science Advances, "A Global Deal for Nature: Guiding principles, milestones, and targets", highlighting the need for expanded nature conservation efforts to mitigate climate change.
The final synthesis report was finished in March 2023. It includes a summary for policymakers and was the basis for the 2023 United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP28) in Dubai.
