Successful transition towards climate-smart development. Ultimate Outcomes How do we localize climate action? 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 National Natural Resource Accounting (Total Economic Valuation) Establish the Ecotowns in Key Biodiversity Areas (sensitive forest, coastal and marine ecosystems, small islands, food baskets) The whole National Budget as Climate Change Adaptation Budget 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. -Jose Rizal Salamat! www.climate.gov.ph
