FOCUS ON SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT THROUGH SUSTAINABILITY REPORTING
PARTNERSHIP TO PROMOTE SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
We proposed a collaborative partnership between RPDev and SEED to cover the following areas of common interest and concern: 1. To jointly promote UN's 17 Sustainable Development Goals in an accelerated and directed manner 2. To go on a nationwide information, education, and training campaign covering all sectors of society both private and public 3. To highlight and work with all concerned on the most vital SDGs for the Philippines 4. To establish a Youth Academy on Sustainable Development to ensure continuity 5. To motivate participation and affirmative action from as many organizations and companies by offering the P/FVR Awards for Champions and Leaders in Sustainable Development and Sustainability Reporting
Part of PFVR’s ever-growing legacy, particularly to millennials who will carry the torch of SD-SR Should motivate many groups to seriously look at and work around the 17 SDGs

Why is climate change important? The Philippines ďƒ˜ Ranks among the top 10 vulnerable countries to climate change ďƒ˜ Number 1 in 2015 as the most vulnerable country with regard to extreme weather events
Why is climate change important? The Philippines Storms: 20 storms (1960-1969) 120 storms (2000-2008) Floods: 60mm of rainfall in an hour (Ondoy) – expected to be the NEW normal reaching up 80mm of rainfall per hour at increased temperatures.
Why is climate change important? The Philippines ďƒ˜ Sea Level Rise: 1 meter rise = lose about 160K hectares ďƒ˜ Storm Surges: Yolanda = 5-7 meters high Undang (similar typhoon with the same strength, 30 years prior to Yolanda) = 1-2 meters high ONLY
Why is climate change important? The Philippines ďƒ˜ Food production will be threatened ďƒ˜ Terrestrial and marine species will migrate or die Resulting to food shortage, high food prices & hunger as the population increases each year (about 1.7 million people per year or 50 million or more in 30 years).
What is the current Earth’s temperature? World’s global average temperature is about 1 degree Celsius above preindustrial levels. Globally about 15 degrees Celsius Philippines about 27 degrees Celsius Under Business-as-Usual scenario, global temperatures will increase to 4 degrees Celsius.
What is the current Earth’s temperature? Paris Agreement seeks to limit temperatures to well below 2 degrees Celsius. Unfortunately, current indicated commitments under Paris Agreement, the increase will only be limited to 2.73.5 degrees Celsius.
Why is it important to conduct a Sustainability Report and how can such help gain support both from national government and international donor organizations? And importantly attract investors and tourists?
