This document outlines the concept, framework, and process for developing a Local Climate Change Action Plan (LCCAP). It discusses key topics like climate change, greenhouse gases, and mitigation and adaptation strategies. The LCCAP is an action plan formulated by local governments to address climate change concerns, focusing on adaptation and mitigation. It must be consistent with local development needs. The planning framework involves a 9-step process that includes establishing a team, assessing risks and impacts, developing strategies and actions, and integrating the LCCAP into local development plans.

4. A. CLIMATE AND
CLIMATE CHANGE
 Climate – is an average of
weather condition (Temperature,
rainfall, etc.) over a “long” period
(more than 2-3 weeks).
 Climate change means the
difference in the Earth’s global
climate or in regional climates
over time. Changes in the state of
atmosphere over time caused by
natural or man-made activities.
 Increasing GlobalTemperature is
the major concern today.

the Climate Change
Commission related to the
EO on GHG inventory.
 Formulate strategies for
mitigating GHG

17. EXECUTIVE ORDER 174 s 2014
 “Institutionalizing the Philippine
Greenhouse Gas Inventory
Management and Reporting System”
 Signed by the President on November
24, 2014
 GHG Inventory in the context of
sustainable development
 Established to institutionalize the GHG
inventory management and reporting
system in relevant government
agencies to enable the country to
transition towards a climate-resilient
pathway for sustainable development

18. WHAT AREWE GOINGTO DO?
 We need
to plan to
combat
negative
impacts
of
Climate
Change.

19. D. WHAT IS LCCAP?
It is the action plan formulated by the
LGUs to address climate change
concerns.
Focuses on climate change adaptation
and mitigation, on how to respond and
mainstream CC into local development
plans.

20. LEGAL BASIS
RA 9729 - Philippine Climate Change Act
of 2009
RA 10174 (CC Act) – Amended RA 9729on
August 16, 2012
It empowers LGUs to act on CC issues
Should be consistent with the
development requirements and
prospects of locality.

40. A SHORT STORY TO REMEMBER!
“There was an important job to be done and
Everybody was sure that Somebody would do it.
Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it.
Somebody got angry about that, because it was
Everybody’s job. Everybody thought Anybody could
do it, but Nobody realized that Everybody wouldn’t
do it. It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody
when Nobody did what Anybody could have.”
