Project Title and Project Purpose◆ Project Title

The Project for Development of a Hybrid Water-Related Disaster Risk Assessment Technology
for Sustainable Local Economic Development Policy under Climate Change in the Philippines◆ Project Purpose

Policy recommendations for sustainable economic development in urban and rural areas underclimate change are formulated based on hybrid water-related disaster risk assessment technology
covering climate change, hydrology, agriculture, and socio-economic activity in target basin.

◆ Principle Organizations

Philippines: University of the Philippines Los Baños (UPLB)Japan: International Centre for Water Hazard
and Risk Management (ICHARM)◆ Project Period: 2021.6.3-2026.6.2

Feedback from the Participants
Q. Were you satisfied with the contents Q. Would you share the knowledge acquiredof what you studied in Course2?
through this training with your colleagues,
friends, or other members in yourorganizations?

As an innovative solution to coping with a difficult situation during the worldwide
pandemic, an e-learning training program was developed and provided in 2021 and2022. It was verified that capacity building is somehow possible even in a remoteenvironment or under a pandemic such as the one caused by COVID-19.
