Mission
Aksyon Klima Pilipinas (AKP) is a national network of 40 civil society networks and organizations working on different climate change issues. As a network, AKP advocates for climate adaptation, mitigation, finance and technology transfer both at national and international levels. Member organizations work with local authorities to ensure that climate change is built into their plans and programmes.
Objectives
- Monitor the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) negotiations
- Monitor the implementation of the Climate Change Act of 2009
- Initiate policy dialogues between policy makers, scientists and civil society and other actors on key policy issues
- Mobilize scientific and academic, civil society and community involvement in the development of government policies on climate change and positions in international negotiations
- Support members’ and partners’ initiatives on climate change adaptation
Aksyon Klima has just started work as Network on Disaster Reduction; however, several organization's members are already working on DRR. The goal for now is to capacitate and enable the Secretariat to better assist the organization's members doing DRR work and to harmonize it with climate change adaptation work.

Voluntary Commitments
The Sendai Framework Voluntary Commitments (SFVC) online platform allows stakeholders to inform the public about their work on DRR. The SFVC online platform is a useful toolto know who is doing what and where for the implementation of the Sendai Framework, which could foster potential collaboration among stakeholders. All stakeholders (private sector, civil society organizations, academia, media, local governments, etc.) working on DRR can submit their commitments and report on their progress and deliverables.
