The Department continues its commitment to mobilize local government units (LGUs) towards climate change adaptation and mitigation through a capacity development activity on the finalization of their Enhanced Local Climate Change Action Plan (E-LCCAP) conducted last April 19-21, 2023 at the Terrace Hotel in Subic Freeport Zone.

 A total of five LGUs namely, Angat, Bulacan, Carranglan, Nueva Ecija, Floridablanca, Macabebe, Pampanga and Magalang, Pampanga, attended the 3-day activity which is aimed to finalize their Enhanced LCCAPs and ensure the presence of climate change adaptation and mitigation measures in LGU plans.

Among the highlights of the activity was the discussion of the Climate and Disaster Risk Assessment and Inventory of Green House Gas Emissions Inventory, followed by workshops on both topics.

This is in line with the Department's adherence to further assist LGUs in the development of their climate change action plans by mainstreaming it to their local development plans, ultimately leading them to achieving sustainable development by ensuring socio-economic resilience while harnessing the potentials of emission reduction.
