Abstract

In the modern era it has been found that the Philippines has been facing many environmental issues and as a result introducing effective policies for sustainable development has become a necessity. The present research has observed some of the problems that the country has been facing before discussing the potential that sustainable strategies possess for the country as they can help in building vital ecosystems and respect the overall environmental quality of the country. The research has discussed past policies of the Philippines and the new Philippine Development Plan (PDP) and AmBisyon 2040, both of which aims at implementing political leadership into their programs and projects for promoting sustainability, the policies will also be helping with ensuring inclusive and equitable education while creating opportunities for the people to improve their economic conditions.
