Transcend aims to enhance the Philippines’s capacity to implement climate change and biodiversity policies.
The foreign-assisted project aims to ensure transparent, integrated and accountable implementation of climate projects across all levels of society in the Philippines, while soliciting and mediating coordination among involved entities. “Climate change poses many challenges, and has differentiated impacts on sectors and disproportionate effects on others,” CCC vice chair and executive director Robert Borje in his welcome remarks at the recent soft launch. “Working with Germany on the TRANSCEND project, we can focus on maximizing and optimizing collaboration and cooperation between and among government agencies, CSOs and the private sector in pushing for a climate-smart and climate-resilient Philippines.
“This project allows us to coherently synergize our efforts toward a low-carbon and biodiversity-friendly future through improved coordination, fortified partnerships, and maximum impact of our resources.” said Environment Secretary Ma. Antonia Yulo-Loyzaga who was represented by Assistant Secretary Noralene Uy.
He added that, “pondered upon, it’s going to power the partnership that we currently have from 70 years to beyond.”
