AN ACT 
ENHANCING CLIMATE RESILIENCE IN AGRICULTURE TO ADVERSE CLIMATE EVENTS 
BY INSTITUTIONALIZING THE USE OF CROP CLIMATE CALENDARS, EQUIPPING 
FARMERS FOR CLIMATE SENSITIVE DECISION-MAKING, AND PROVIDING ACCESS TO 
LOCALIZED WEATHER AND CLIMATE INFORMATION 
EXPLANATORY NOTE 
In a 2020 report released by the Philippine Statistics Authority, the total damages 
incurred due to natural extreme events and disasters amounted to PhP 463 billion from 2010 
to 2019. Of  which, agriculture posted the largest share with 62.7 percent or PhP 290 billion. 
The recent natural disasters, in its increasing intensities, have drastically affected 
crops and livestock resulting in severe loss in agricultural production. Climate change 
exacerbates the challenges to food security. Hence, there is a critical and urgent need to 
employ climate-smart technologies available and accessible to the farmers through creation of 
an enabling institutional mechanism.
With these impending effects of climate change,   the agriculture   sector is 
constrained to modify their methods to adapt to these adverse effects such as extreme 
drought, typhoons, and ﬂoods. And in making these solutions, the farmers are at the core.
This measure aims to strengthen the resilience to climate change in the agriculture 
sector by institutionalizing use of crop climate calendars, equipping farmers for climate 
sensitive decision-making and providing access to localized information on weather and 
climate.
In view of contributing to climate resilient agriculture, the approval of this bill is most 
earnestly sought.

shall be a priority government intervention for the agriculture sector. 
Sec. 3. Deﬁnition of Terms. - As used in this Act, the following terms shall be deﬁned 
as follows:
1. “Crop climate calendar” refers to a visual tool that presents the phenology and cultivation
practices of a crop against the timeline of the cropping season, containing information on
the weather and climate states that occur in the locality and the risks faced by the crop
per growing stage in relation to these;
2. “Climate-sensitive decision” refers to decisions that hinge on weather and climate states,
with ﬁnal outcomes and even decision alternatives which are varying depending on the
prevailing weather phenomena; and
3


3. “Localized weather and climate information” refers to information on weather and climate 
phenomena that are particularized down to the city or municipal level.

briefers, and similar documents on climate-sensitive decision-making for distribution to 
individual farmers and farmers' organizations.  
Sec. 6. Localized Weather and Climate Information. - The Philippine Atmospheric, 
Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) shall provide regular and 
updated localized weather and climate information to city, municipal and provincial
