This is the overall assessment of the MAKAKALIKASAN (Nature Party Philippines) on the performance of Duterte administrtion (2016-2021) vis-a-vis the 15-point GREEN AGENDA espoused by the Party. Cutting across the 15-point agenda is MAKAKALIKASAN's concerns on equity issues for the vulnerable sectors and peoples (Indigenous, Bangsamoro & Cordillera peoples, marginalized peasants, homeless urban poor, the women, children, senior citizens & single parents in difficult circumstances & situations, persons with disability, persons deprive of liberty and victims of gender based violence), peace & development, good governance, human rights violation and eradication of graft & corruption. Rating for this 5 concerns were likewise considered to generate the final GREEN RATING!

Overall Assessment
While there were some gains in some areas of the 15-point Green Agenda from the accomplishments and performance of the Duterte administration in the past 5 years, the overall rating is a dismal 24.8% of what we need to confront the myriad of issues that affects our readiness to confront the challenges of our existential issues as human species today as we are confronted with multiple crises of the COVID-19 pandemic, the worsening economic recession, the dire negative impacts of climate change and the catastrophic implications to human beings of the biodiversity collapse. A good enough ecp steward-government must do no more harm and should at least achieve 50% or more. A truly responsive green government should achieve at least 75%. Of this performance and accomplishments, the cluster of green agenda on the KABUHAYAN or economic & sustainable wealth creation concerns receives a low 10.2%. Lower still is the cluster of green agenda on the KALIKASAN or environmental management & conservation concerns with a lower 9.8% rating. Ang lowest is the cluster of green agenda on KARAPATAN or rights-based related concern at a dismal 4.8%. We therefore assess the Duterte administration of the past 5 years as a FAILURE in terms of the GREEN AGENDA!
