GOALS (MDGs)
Outcomes of MDGs
The final MDG Report found that the 15-year effort has produced the most successful antipoverty movement in history:
Since 1990, the number of people living in extreme poverty has declined by more than
half.
The proportion of undernourished people in the developing regions has fallen by almost
half.
The primary school enrolment rate in the developing regions has reached 91 percent,
and many more girls are now in school compared to 15 years ago.
Remarkable gains have also been made in the fight against HIV/AIDS, malaria and
tuberculosis.
The under-five mortality rate has declined by more than half, and maternal mortality is
down 45 percent worldwide.
The target of halving the proportion of people who lack access to improved sources of
water was also met.

With the job unfinished for millions of peoplewe need to go the last mile on
ending hunger, achieving full gender equality, improving health services and
getting every child into school. Now we must shift the world onto a sustainable
path. The SDGs aim to do just that, with 2030 as the target date.
This new development agenda applies to all countries, promotes peaceful and
inclusive societies, creates better jobs and tackles the environmental challenges
of our timeparticularly climate change. In December 2015, world leaders
reached a historic global agreement on climate change at the Paris Climate
Conference.
The Sustainable Development Goals must finish the job that the Millennium
Development Goals started, and leave no one behind.

Defining #SustainableEnvironment
Sustainable Environment
A state in which the demands placed on the
environment can be met without reducing its
capacity to allow all people to live well, now
and in the future.
Definition from Financial Times Lexicon
To build the adaptive capacity of communities and increase the resilience of natural
ecosystems to climate change, and optimize mitigation opportunities towards sustainable
development;
The Philippines, as a State Party to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate
Change (UNFCCC), is committed to its core principle of common but differentiated
responsibilities and respective capabilities.
The national priorities, and therefore, the pillars, of the NFSCC Framework Strategy on Climate
Change shall be adaptation and mitigation, with an emphasis on adaptation as the anchor
strategy. Whenever applicable, mitigation actions shall also be pursued as a function of
adaptation;
The Framework adopts the Philippine Agenda 21 for Sustainable Development, to fulfill human
needs while maintaining the quality of the natural environment for current and future
generations;
The principle of complementation shall be observed to ensure that climate change initiatives
by one sector do not restrict the adaptation of other sectors;
The Framework recognizes the roles of agencies and their respective mandates as provided by
law. The Framework also recognizes the principle of subsidiarity and the role of local
governments as front-liners in addressing climate change;
The Framework recognizes the value of forming multi-stakeholder participation and
partnerships in climate change initiatives, including partnerships with civil society, the private
sector and local governments, and especially with indigenous peoples and other marginalized
groups most vulnerable to climate change impacts; and
Policy and incentive mechanisms to facilitate private sector participation in addressing
adaptation and mitigation objectives shall be promoted and supported.

ONGOING EFFORTS
Aside from being a reforestation initiative, the NGP is also seen as a climate change mitigation
strategy as it seeks to enhance the countrys forest stock to absorb carbon dioxide, which is largely
blamed for global warming. It is also designed to reduce poverty, providing alternative livelihood
activities for marginalized upland and lowland households relating to seedling production and care
and maintenance of newly-planted trees.
As a convergence initiative among the Departments of Agriculture, Agrarian Reform and DENR, half
of the targeted trees to be planted under the program would constitute forest tree species intended
for timber production and protection as well. The other 50% would comprised of agroforestry
species.
Areas eligible for rehabilitation under the program include all lands of the public domain. Specifically,
these include forestlands, mangrove and protected areas, ancestral domains, civil and military
reservation, urban greening areas, inactive and abandoned mine sites and other suitable lands.
