What we do

Enhancing climate finance transparency  

• The challenge: Making climate expenditure data easily accessible and useful for decision-makers and the public. 
• The approach: Supporting the development of a central climate finance dashboard to track investments, including the analysis of public data under the national climate change expenditure tagging (CCET) system.  
• The impact: Stronger public accountability and optimized use of climate finance that delivers measurable, evidence-based resilience outcomes. 

Driving results-based climate action  

• The challenge: Accurately measuring the tangible impacts of climate-related spending against national resilience goals. 
• The approach: Developing a results-based budgeting framework for the Department of Environment and Natural Resources in coordination with the Department of Finance, the Department of Budget and Management, and the Climate Change Commission to ensure spending is aligned with national climate plans. 
• The impact: A clear link between budget allocations and tangible resilience outcomes, maximizing the effectiveness of every peso spent. 

Scaling climate-adaptive finance for MSMEs 

• The challenge: MSMEs often cannot access adaptation and resilience financing for investments in climate-adaptive practices and technologies because loans are perceived as too risky, insufficiently collateralized, or too large for traditional MSME lending products. 

• The approach: Establishing a blended guarantee facility, supported by catalytic funding and implemented with domestic financial institutions, to reduce lending risks and expand financing for climate-resilient and green MSME investments.  

• The impact: Increased access to finance for climate-adaptive MSMEs, mobilizing private sector lending for adaptation and resilience, and other productive green investments through a scalable and replicable financing model.
