Poor, climate-vulnerable localities in PH can now apply for People’s Survival Fund

After 3 years since it was created by law, the People’s Survival Fund (PSF) may now be accessed by local government units and community organizations that need financial support for climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction. “We are pleased to announce that the P1 billion climate fund is now ready. The Climate Change Commission is ready to accept project proposals. Climate change is happening now and it is sure to affect everyone especially our most vulnerable population and communities,” said CCC Assistant Secretary Joyceline Goco. LGUs with the following characteristics will be prioritized: with a high poverty incidence; pronounced vulnerability to climate impacts like typhoons, drought, sea level rise; and presence of a key biodiversity area such as a forest or coral reef system with endangered animals.
