Climate change is increasingly causing changes in the intensity of extreme weather events, rising
sea levels and infectious disease distribution. It is affecting the economic, environmental and social
determinants of health, and it will continue to increase migration and internal displacements of
people, conflicts over natural resources and fragmented policy-making processes. While it is
known to be one of the most serious threats to development, its impact is dependent on people's
level of exposure (age, education, income and health status and access to public services). As
climate-related disasters in developing countries pose a challenge for the implementation of the
Sustainable Development Goals, we should analyze development plans from a Disaster Risk
Reduction perspective. The Philippines is among the most vulnerable countries to the health
impacts of climate change and is considered to have a strong experience in DRR. Understanding
how disaster management in this country can contribute to the implementation of the SDGs,
focused on health, is highly relevant. So, what can we learn from this model? The aim of this paper
is to conduct a qualitative analysis with the Philippines model as an example of development policy
adaptation and a DRR-centered system in the context of climate change.
