Abstract: This chapter examines the patterns of consumption and production in the Philippines and analyses their impact on the environment and climate, with a view to finding out whether they are environmentally sustainable or not. It presents the initial findings of the author's research on the topic of sustainable development in the Philippines. It notes the "double dividend" that the Philippines stands to gain from any action to "switch" consumption and production to more sustainable patterns.
