A Water Sufficiency Enhancing convergence and employing a comprehensive approach to address flood risk The NCCAP identified Water Sufficincy (WS) as a strategic priority due to the Philippines’ vulnerability to extreme weather events such as typhoons and flooding, coupled with encroachment in waterways and massive urbanization. Nearly half (41%, or PHP 72.8 billion) of the climate expenditures in 2016 addresses Water Sufficiency. This represents a 54% increase compared to 2015.
