Considering that rural areas host most of the highly vulnerable population, it has been one of the faces of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) through the Environmental Management Bureau's (EMB) project and activities. In virtue of integrating climate change into developmental plans, EMB has been a leading body in training different organizations on climate-proofing in order to analyze the hazards posed by this change in the climatic pattern. Climate proofing is a process-based tool utilized to understand the risks and opportunities presented by the change in the climate pattern, which is essential in developing a strategy for a more resilient and sustainable community. An example of activities that involved capacity building on climate proofing is the Ecotown Project on different rural areas and the River Basin Management Master Plans. Climate proofing also aids in developing disaster prevention and climate adaptation strategies.
