South-South cooperation on climate information and services – development of a platform for knowledge management and joint learning

Climate information and services (CIS) and the ability to respond to climate change are essential for building resilient communities and ecosystems. The project therefore facilitates cooperation between stakeholders and the CIS in the Philippines and all over the world. To this end, it is developing a platform for knowledge management and the exchange of learning between the world’s southern hemisphere countries that are particularly affected by climate change. The platform contains quality-tested climate data and information that any interested parties can access, and the project promotes the development of knowledge and resources in national authorities. It also supports academies and local government units and effectively demonstrates the co-benefits of mitigation measures, nationally-determined contributions and nationally appropriate mitigation actions.

State of implementation/results

  • As part of the project, peer-reviewed studies and papers on the link between climate change and health, as well as the continued exchange with the Ministry of Health, led to the establishment of a unit for Health and Climate Change within the ministry. Furthermore, project results contributed to strengthening the profile of health issues in the international Loss and Damage discourse.
  • In addition, satellite-based data collection, its processing, regional applicability, and related regional policy dialogues were actively fed into the ASEAN policy dialogue within the framework of the Philippine ASEAN presidency.
  • Moreover, climate data and their local applicability are gaining increasing importance in the context of national implementation processes of the National Adaptation Plan (NAP), disaster risk management measures, and related climate finance discussions.
