SUSTAINABLEDEVELOPMENT

Goal: To build the adaptive capacity of communities and increase the resilience of natural ecosystems to climate change, and optimize mitigation opportunities towards sustainable development.

VISION:A climate risk-resilient Philippines with

healthy, safe, prosperous and self-reliant communities, and thriving and productive

ecosystems

• 2011 to 2028• address urgent and

immediate needs and concerns relating to the dangerous consequences of climate change to vulnerable sectors such as agriculture, water resources, ecosystems, humans and infrastructure services

• Keeping the Promise in the President’s Social Contract

• Adopted 11-22-11

Build the adaptive capacities of women and men in their communities, increase the

resilience of vulnerable sectors and natural

ecosystems to climate change, and optimize

mitigation opportunities towards gender-responsive

and rights-based sustainable development

NCCAP: Ultimate Goal

How do we localize climate action?

Establish the Ecotowns in Key Biodiversity Areas (sensitive forest, coastal and marine ecosystems, small islands, food baskets)

Key Directions

LGUs located within

Ecotowns to be areas of priorities for green growth investment and payment for ecological services (PES)

Comprehensive National Vulnerability and Adaptation Assessment & Climate Risk Analysis

The whole National Budget as Climate Change Adaptation Budget

National Natural Resource Accounting (Total Economic Valuation)

CCT+CCA with protection of natural resources as the condition

Climate Financing for Adaptation

+To manage the unavoidable and

avoid the unmanageable

Local Climate Change Action Plan

LGUs as frontline agencies

Barangays to be directly involved with LGUs in prioritizing CCA and DRR issues

CCA and DRR to become a regular function of municipal and city LGUs

Is adaptation

all about climate change

Adaptation is about paradigm shifts

It is a useless life that is not consecrated to a

great ideal.
