Three additional projects and programs of the DENR account for another 9% of EES climate expenditures. These primarily focus on improving forest conservation and socio-economic conditions of upland dwellers, and contributing to disaster risk mitigation efforts in vulnerable areas: • The Integrated Natural Resources and Environm ental Managem ent (DENR, PHP 0.45 billion, compared to PHP 0.06 billion in FY 2015): This project has three major components: (i) river basin and watershed management planning, (ii) smallholder and institutional investments in forest protection and conservation, and (iii) strengthening of river basin and watershed management capacity and related governance mechanisms. INREMP is designed to address the unsustainable watershed management in four priority river basins namely: Chico River Basin in Cordillera Administrative Region; Wahig Inabanga River Basin in Bohol Island; Lake Lanao River Basin in Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao, and Upper Bukidnon River Basin in Bukidnon. The INREMP has a particular focus on indigenous peoples and resource-poor communities. • The Forestland Managem ent (DENR, PHP 0.22 billion, compared to PHP 0.19 billion in FY 2015): This is a foreign-assisted project that aims to strengthen forestland management through implementation of communitybased forest management, including agroforestry and community-based enterprise development in three river basins in a sustainable manner: Upper Magat and Cagayan River Basin, and Pampanga River Basin in Luzon; and Jalaur River Basin in Panay Island. • The Protected Area Developm ent and Managem ent (DENR, PHP 0.4 billion, compared to PHP 0.52 billion in FY 2015): This program includes measures to conserve biodiversity within and protect natural habitats within and adjacent to protected areas. The program aims to ensure continuity of the full stream of goods and ecological services, sustain habitat interconnectivity and wildlife corridors, and improve resilience of ecosystems in the face of climate change. The implementation of this Program can also contribute to carbon sequestration. The protected areas are home to indigenous peoples, who are among the marginalized sector of society; this project contributes to strengthening their adaptive capacity. Additionally, the approved EES clim ate budget in 2016 allocated 9% of its expenditures for policy developm ent, institutional strengthening, and the enforcem ent of regulations. In 2016, the budget for a PAP on the Formulation and Monitoring of Sector Policies, Plans, and Programs on Environmental and Natural Resources areas increased by more than three times (to PHP 0.39 billion). However, a PAP on the enforcement of laws, rules and regulations declined by 34% (to PHP 0.59 billion).   21
