Finance Roadmap to Support
Commitments towards
Decarbonization

The Philippine Sustainable Finance Roadmap• designed to lay out the high-level action plans of the whole-of-government approach topromote sustainable finance in the Philippines• the first phase focusing more on the transition to a low carbon economy• promotes transition to a low carbon economy

Roadmaps’
Guiding Principle 2on the AssessmentofEconomicActivities- Promoting
Transition to a Low
Carbon Economy▪ Finance activities that lead to the achievement of the Paris Agreement goals
and the Philippines GHG reduction target/NDC▪ Finance an entity that is proactively pursuing the transition aligned with theParis Agreement and Philippines GHG reduction target/NDC▪ Finance a project in a GHG emitting industry or sector that achieves orimplements the level of best performance of low GHG emissions▪ Finance a project relating to or contributing to products with the level ofbest performance of low GHG▪ Finance an activity, entity or project that would contribute to GHG
reduction throughout the lifecycle of a productPDP/NDC Measures to Support PH Decarbonization

Use of alternate wetting
and drying (AWD) in
paddy rice cultivation

Enhance diversion of organic
waste through composting

Substitution of clinker incement production withsupplementary
cementitious materials

Increase renewable energy(RE) share in power
generation and energy mix

Public Utility Vehicle
Modernization

Use of biodigester andnature-based solutions inlivestock-manure
management

Methane recovery fromsanitary landfills forelectricity/flaring

Increase use of glass cullet
in glass production

refrigerants in RAC sector

Increase penetration ofelectric vehicles to reduceuse of petroleum products

Use of fast-growing
climate resilient crops,
livestock and aquaculture
species

Construction and expansionof centralize wastewater
treatment facilities

Development of an ODS

Securing Social and Climate JusticeEnergy Security

Ongoing NDCrelated activities• Increase awareness on institutional arrangements andenabling environments to plan for, develop andimplement NDCs and LT-LEDS• Enhance engagement of diverse stakeholders• Showcase national examples of NDC-related bestpractices• Revisit the NDC Implementation Plan and consider
other sectors• Consider additional policies and measures (PAMs)

But why do we have tocommit?
• access to means of implementation through capacity
building, technology transfer and climate finance• facilitate transition to a low carbon development path• achieve a climate-resilient society• promote sustainable climate investments in the country
