Mitigation under CC and DRR
• Climate change • Disaster Risk Reduction
Mitigation – “an
anthropogenic
intervention to reduce the
anthropogenic forcing of
the climate change system.
It includes strategies to
reduce greenhouse gas
sources and emissions and
enhancing greenhouse gas
sinks” (IPCC)
Mitigation – any
structural measures or non
structural measures
undertaken to limit the
adverse impacts of natural
hazards, environmental
degradation and
technological hazards.
(UNISDR)
Adaptation
(CCA and DRRM Act)

 the adjustment in natural or human systems in

response to actual or expected climatic stimuli or their
effects, which moderates harm or exploits beneficial
opportunities. (IPCC)

Key Mitigation and Adaptation Measures of
the Philippines(NFSCC 2010-2020)

• Mitigation Measures • Adaptation Measures

Energy efficiency and
conservation
Renewable energy and
environmentally-friendly
technologies
Environmentally-sustainable
transport
Sustainable infrastructure
National REDD + strategy
Waste management
Enhanced vulnerability and
adaptation
Integrated ecosystems-based
management
Water governance and
management
Climate responsive agriculture
Climate responsive health sector
Climate proofing infrastructure
Climate Change Adaptation
 Is basically steps taken to cope with climate change
impacts.
 Measures may include preparing risk assessments,
protecting ecosystems, improving agricultural
methods, managing water resources, building
settlements in safe zones, development early warning
device, instituting better building designs.
DRR adaptation measures
 Extend beyond disasters arising from climate-related
impacts but also to man-made disasters, health,
biological and geological related disasters.
Disaster Risk Reduction Actions
(mitigation or adaptation)
 Are normally complementary, if not directly,
contributes to coping/minimizing the impacts of
climate change to local population.

LED lights are the latest technology in energy efficient lighting. LED stands
for ‘Light Emitting Diode’, a semiconductor device that converts electricity
into light.

LED lights are super energy efficient, using approximately 85% less energy
than halogen or incandescent lighting – meaning significant savings on your
power bills. LED lights also have a much longer lifespan than other types of
lighting - see the table below.

Lighting technology Estimated lifespan*

LED 25,000-50,000 hours
CFL 8,000-15,000 hours
Halogen 1,000-5,000 hours
Incandescent 1,000 hours
