Overview
Project Title Accelerator Lab Philippines (00118909/00115528)
Project Description The Philippines is cited as the third biggest contributor of marine litter in Asia throwing 2.7 million tons of plastic every year. The amount of mismanaged plastic waste generated by 83.4 million coastal residents in the Philippines was 1.88 million metric tonnes in 2010, with a high level of plastic bag consumption.[1] As 60% of the Philippine population lives within the 832 coastal municipalities and 25 coastal cities[2], there is a need to understand better waste management among communities.
Pasig River in Metro Manila alone accounts for 21% of the organic waste flow to Manila Bay, 70% of which come from households. It is a major waterway that flows from Laguna Lake in the east to Manila Bay in the west, via five independent city administrations in the central part of Metro Manila (Pasig, Mandaluyong, Taguig, Makati, Manila). Apart from its upstream location of the river, Pasig City also connects to Marikina River, a major tributary from the Sierra Madre mountains in the northeast of Metro Manila, cutting across Pasig, Marikina, and Quezon City in Metro Manila, as well as four more municipalities in the province of Rizal. The Manila Bay Task Force has identified four key waterways in Pasig City characterized by i) industrial, ii) highly dense and iii) informal communities along its banks, which cut across 10 barangays in Pasig.[3] With sixteen city administrations in Metro Manila, robust data is needed to better understand waste flow through cross-boundary tributaries that ultimately lead to Manila Bay. These can inform better regulation, policy harmonization, and align implementation towards scaled impact. As cities serve as economic hubs and engines for the growth of the country, this also requires the need to urgently reduce the ecological footprint by changing the way we produce and consume. The COVID-19 pandemic has especially increased the pressure on city administrations to support the revival of economic activity, building the momentum and entry points to promote models for sustainable consumption and production. This provides an opportunity to leverage the dynamics of the growing innovative and creative spirit of urban centers to propose alternative packaging solutions. Together, this two-pronged approach aims to build the evidence to shift policy through data, as well as production models and consumption patterns through prototypes, to address the scourge of marine litter.
In undertaking this initiative, the Lab envisages contribution to the following stakeholders i) Department of Environment & Natural Resources (DENR) in supporting the implementation of the National Plan of Action on Marine Litter; ii) Pasig Local Government Unit (Pasig LGU) Executive & Environment Units to inform planning and targeted interventions; and iii) urban poor community who are disproportionately affected by poor waste management and sanitation (e.g. informal settlers along water tributaries), those who earn their living from the informal waste economy (e.g., waste pickers), and those due to choice and circumstance contribute to the issue (e.g., poor households buying “sachet” goods).
To support this initiative, the UNDP Philippines Accelerator Lab will be hiring a Consultant who will provide Communications support to the Japan SHIP Innovation Challenge implementation in the Philippines.
