Reclaiming the ‘Resilient Filipino’: From Romanticised Climate Narratives Towards Resilience-Focused Climate Policy in the Philippines

We address critiques of integrated assessment models, advocating for robust interdisciplinary integration and clearer methodological transparency. Our recommendations stem from expert interviews from 2019 to 2024, emphasizing the need for comprehensive social science engagement.

This paper aims to contribute to the efforts to improve methodologies to find strategies to jointly pursue the Paris climate target and other SDGs. It suggests a means of further expanding the societal perspectives in scenarios modelling through a model of Deep Institutional Innovation for Sustainability and Human Development.

In response to the polycrisis, this chapter introduces Homo Curans—the caring human—as a vision for sustainability and human flourishing. It argues for re-centering care across social institutions, challenging dominance-based paradigms and proposing care as an ethical foundation for just and resilient futures.
