II Summary of Key Facts Overall, 45 NGAs identified clim ate change expenditures totaling PHP 176 billion across 233 Program s, Activities, and Projects (PAPs) in the 2016, representing an increase of 25% from 2015. This corresponds to about 6% of the total National Government Budget, or 30% of the allocations made to NGAs. • In line with the NCCAP, 89% of the approved clim ate budget is prim arily designed to support adaptation (compared with 87% in 2015). Climate adaptation expenditures are mainly directed to the construction and maintenance of flood mitigation structures and drainage systems. In addition, adaptation PAPs are focused on resiliency-building through enhancing capacity of social and ecological systems, policy and governance, and research and development. Meanwhile, the approved 2016 mitigation expenditures (11%) decreased 2% from 2015, which can be traced to the dropping of DOE’s E-Trike Project in 2016. Large mitigation PAPs include the National Greening Program, promotion of mass transportation, and building of sanitary landfills. • As in 2015, the approved clim ate budget is again concentrated in very few NGAs. With an increase of 34% from 2015, DPWH accounted for 74% (PHP 130 billion) of the approved climate budget in 2016. Meanwhile, 26% of the total approved climate budget is from five NGAs: DA, DENR, DOTC, DOST, and DOE. • Nearly all (97% ) of the identified clim ate expenditures directly support clim ate activities as Operations (79%) or Projects (18% ) 1 . The approved climate budget for Operations increased by 26% from 2015, with climate expenditure concentrated in 11 of the 233 programs, accounting for 71% of the approved climate budget. Within projects, the majority (67%) are foreign-assisted (compared to 80% in 2015), while the remaining are funded locally. Foreign-assisted projects responsive to climate change have allocated 12% more compared to the previous year, wherein almost half (43%) are focused on agriculture.                                                                                                                           1 Operations include PAPs supporting the NGA’s major final output (MFOs), whereas Projects are also in support of the attainment of the mandates of the NGA, but either locally-funded or foreign-assisted.   3
