This report describes how the Philippines is addressing its commitment to address climate change. It presents an independent assessment of the state of actions undertaken by the country to implement its nationally determined contributions (NDC) as submitted to the UNFCCC. 

In addition, this report attempts to answer two questions: (1) what is the relationship between the Global Stocktake (GST) and the Philippines’ national ratcheting efforts, and (2) how can the GST be effectively optimized to further influence national decision making and implementation of the Philippines’ climate policies.
