The document provides an overview of ecological profiling for the Municipality of Sablan from October 4-6, 2022. It discusses the ecological profile (EP) as the main entry point for integrating climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction into local planning. The EP merges socio-economic and biophysical profiles to provide a holistic picture of the current local reality. It involves gathering data from various local and national stakeholders to inform evidence-based problem identification and planning. The roles of different levels of government in preparing the EP are also outlined.
