SDG 13 aims to take urgent action to combat climate change and its effects. The objective is to prepare for climate impacts, transition to an emissions-neutral economy, and support vulnerable groups. Key programs in the Philippines include banning single-use plastic, establishing the People's Survival Fund to finance adaptation projects, and implementing the National Climate Change Action Plan to prioritize food security and environmental stability through 2028. Air pollution is introduced mainly through fossil fuel use in vehicles, power plants, and other industries, and countries with the most polluted air include India, Nepal, and Nigeria.

3. Introduction
Due to warming and melting, the ocean grew between 1901 and 2010. The
average sea level rose by 19 cm as a result of climate change, and both the
strength and frequency of the rainstorms varied. Extremely dry conditions, major
floods, and some unexpected winters were the result of this. The temperature is
higher than in winter, and scorching summers in recent years have had major,
often irreparable effects on cultivated land and the extinction of marine,
terrestrial, and plant life. (Environmental Education, 2021)

5. What is SDG 13
Take urgent action to combat climate change and its effects.
“Our planet's biodiversity as well as how humans live are both
significantly impacted by climate change.”

6. The Objective of SDG 13
The objective is to prepare ourselves to face the impacts of climate
change, lay the foundations for an emissions-neutral economy and
accompany the most vulnerable groups in the transition process.
(Environmental Education, 2021)

7. The Objective of SDG 13
1. Reduce and reuse water consumption.
Examples:
a. Place a bucket in the shower.
b. Use a rain barrel to save runoff from your roof.
c. Water the plants with pasta water
d. Reuse the water you washed your veggies and rice with.
e. Scatter your leftover ice on the lawn.

8. The Objective of SDG 13
2. No more Plastic.
No plastic in nature initiative works across the life cycle of plastic to : reduce the amount
of plastic produced, increased the reuse of plastic already in circulation and eliminate
leakage of plastic in nature. Examples:
a. Bioplastics
b. Biodegradable plastics
c. Compostable plastics
d. Recyclable bioplastics
e. Paper and cardboard
f. Glass, tin and foil
g. Natural textiles
h. Eco materials

9. The Objective of SDG 13
3. Throw the trash where it belongs.
What is Waste Segregation?
Waste segregation is when you separate the wet waste and dry waste in your
daily consumption. This is to easily recycle the dry waste and use your wet waste
as a compost (Rojas, 2020).
Why is Waste Segregation important?
Hazardous wastes can cause long term health problems so it is important to
dispose your wastes in a safe manner. Waste segregation also means that there is
less waste that goes into the landfill which makes it better for the environment
(Rojas 2020).

10. The Objective of SDG 13
3. Throw the trash where it belongs.
Here are some tips on how to segregate your waste at home (Rojas, 2020):
1. Prepare separate containers for the dry and wet wastes.
2. Also have a separate container for your dry wastes, one for papers and one for
the plastics.
3. For glass/plastic containers, have it rinsed of food matter.
4. Send wet waste out of the home daily or use it as a compost, while you send dry
waste out of the home once a week

11. The Objective of SDG 13
4. Inform and educate people on how to contribute, help and be
responsible for climate change.

12. SDG 13 in Global Level
Reduce pollution and the greenhouse effects across the planet, create
more jobs in renewable energy companies, make food and water
available to every country in Africa, recycle more and use plastic

13. SDG in State Level
Target 13.1: Strengthen resilience and adaptive capacity to climate-related
hazards and natural disasters in all countries
Target 13.2: Integrate climate change measures into national policies,
strategies and planning
Target 13.3: Improve education, awareness-raising and human and
institutional capacity on climate change mitigation, adaptation, impact
reduction and early warning

14. Programs in the Philippines
*Anti-Single Use Plastic Campaign. Plastic Ban and Regulation.
*Climate Finance. Green Climate Fund People's Survival Fund.
*National Climate Change Action Plan.

15. Programs in the Philippines
Anti-Single Use plastic Campaign. Plastic Ban and Regulation
Single-use plastic embody the throw away culture in
our modern society that has been proven harmful to the
environment and health for causing pollution of water bodies
and death or injury to marine organisms, blockages in our
drainage and water way, and release toxic gases when burned.

16. Anti-Single Use plastic Campaign. Plastic Ban and Regulation
Implementation
The government has imposed central level order for
banning of usage of polythene carry bag and all plastic items
which are made for one-time use. People have started to use
people straws, cloth carry bag, neem tree bark pieces, etch for
their domestic use.

17. Anti-Single Use plastic Campaign. Plastic Ban and Regulation
Dated February 12, 2020 directing ban on unnecessary
use of single-use plastic products in government agencies

18. Student’s observation in Anti-Single Use plastic Campaign.
Plastic Ban and Regulation
Malls and Big stores that sell variety of groceries, items
and goods use eco-bags and paper bags in packaging their items,
however for small stores like sari-sari even other small vendors,
eateries pack their goods using one-time use plastic like malabo
plastic.

19. Programs in the Philippines
Climate Finance. Green Climate Fund People's Survival Fund.
The People’s Survival Fund (PSF) was created by Republic Act 10174 as an
annual fund intended for local government units and accredited local/community
organizations to implement climate change adaptation projects that will better
equip vulnerable communities to deal with the impacts of climate change. It
supplements the annual appropriations allocated by relevant government agencies
and local government units for climate-change-related programs and projects.

20. Activities supported through the fund include: (i) adaptation activities in water resources management, land
management, agriculture and fisheries, health, infrastructure development, natural ecosystems including mountainous and
coastal ecosystems; (ii) improvement of the monitoring of vector-borne diseases triggered by climate change. and in this
context improving disease control and prevention; (iii) forecasting and early warning systems as part of preparedness for
climate-related hazards; (iv) institutional development, for the LGUs in partnership with local communities and NGOs, for
preventive measures, planning, preparedness and management of impacts relating to climate change, including contingency
planning, in particular, for droughts and floods in areas prone to extreme climate events; and (v) strengthening or establishing
regional centres and information networks to support climate change adaptation initiatives and projects. The fund may also
serve as a guarantee for risk insurance needs for farmers, agricultural workers, and other stakeholders.
Law passed August 8, 2012

21. Accomplishment
The PSF Board chaired by the DOF has so far approved P310.34 million-worth of projects under the 2016 national
budget benefiting six municipalities: Del Carmen, Siargao Island, Surigao del Norte; Lanuza, Surigao del Sur; San
Francisco, Camotes Island, Cebu; Gerona, Tarlac; Sarangani Province; and Kitcharao, Agusan del Norte.
To date, P147.46 million of the approved financing has been disbursed to the LGUs. The BTr, which sits as alternate
chair of the PSF Board, attributed this low disbursement rate to delays in project implementation owing to
uncontrollable events such as the COVID-19 pandemic, natural disasters affecting the project sites, and the conduct
of national elections.

22. However, most of the proposals submitted to the PSF have failed to pass the initial
screening due to incomplete documents or because the project activities are not eligible.
PSF projects should clearly address the community’s climate vulnerabilities based on
scientific and historical data. The objective of PSF projects is to provide an effective
combination of engineering and non-engineering interventions, which directly address the
area’s climate risks, and capacity building programs designed to empower the community
and ensure project sustainability. Moreover, as a suppletory fund, it serves to fill the
funding gap for climate change projects that are not funded by other government agencies.

23. Programs in the Philippines
National Climate Change Action Plan.
The national climate change framework strategy has recently been translated into a
National Climate Change Action Plan (NCCAP), which prioritizes food security,
water sufficiency, ecological and environmental stability, human security, climate-
smart industries and services, sustainable energy, and knowledge and capacity
development as the strategic direction for 2011 to 2028.

24. Programs in the Philippines
National Climate Change Action
It is important for environmental stability. It is the resource base for
agriculture development, industrial growth, energy and human security. In the
Philippines, agriculture accounts for 82.23 % of water use, followed by the
industrial sector at 10.12 %, and industrial use at 7.65 % (FAO AQUASTAT,
2009).

25. The most polluted countries in the world
India , Nepal, Niger, Qatar, Nigeria, Egypt, Mauritania, Cameroon, Bangladesh and
Pakistan.
Air pollution is primarily introduced through the burning of fossil fuels. The largest
contributors are fossil-fuel-powered vehicles (cars, trucks, aircraft, ships, etc.) and coal-
or oil-burning power plants and factories. However, any activity that involves the burning
of wood or fossil fuels can release particulate matter. This includes household-level
sources such as tobacco products, stoves and ovens, candles, and fireplaces. Volcano and
wildfires can also be notable sources of air pollution (World Population Review, 2022).

26. Conclusion
To prevent an extreme natural disaster it is vital and important to follow the
guides under SDG 13- Climate Action: self-discipline especially in waste
segregation, recycle, reuse and conserve water, educate people about climate
change, help the nature and advocate a healthy eco-friendly life style.
