The Philippines needs to strengthen its existing support programs, such as those for indigenous people (IP), women, and climate change resilience, to step closer to social sustainability, according to Louise Cord, PhD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cord is the World Bank global director for social sustainability and inclusion in the World Bank\u2019s sustainable development practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
