The PPP Center and Agence Française de Développement (AFD) ran a two-day hybrid workshop titled “Integrating Climate Change Considerations and Disaster Risk Resilience in PPP Projects” on May 27 to 28, 2024 at the center’s board room and online via Zoom.
The workshop’s objective is to foster understanding and assist national and local implementing agencies in better integrating climate change and disaster risk (CCDR) resilience into their PPP projects portfolio across key sectors such as water and sanitation, solid waste management, renewable energy and energy efficiency and transportation.
Discussions were led by Phoenix Consulting International project director Pierre Etienne and legal expert David Desforges. Participants included representatives from selected national government agencies and local government units.
“It was the right time to talk more about CCDR resilience because it is the main pillar of our strategy here now in the Philippines: supporting the country with its low carbon trajectory and also supporting the resilience of ecosystems and populations in the Philippines,” said AFD Philippines country director Bénédicte Gazon.
