The environmental group Interfacing Development Interventions for Sustainability (IDIS) has issued a statement expressing concern over the worsening floods in Davao City and across the Philippines. The group calls for full public disclosure on the status of government-funded flood control projects and urges a shift from "grey" infrastructure to Nature-based Solutions (NbS), such as wetland restoration and watershed protection. IDIS argues that the floods are a "national climate emergency" worsened by decades of poor urban planning and demand a transparent, science-based approach to governance.
