Executive Summary
There is an ongoing call for climate action, internationally and locally, that requires
governments to take necessary steps to mitigate the increasing rate of greenhouse gas (GHG)
emissions.
As part of the local initiative to contribute to climate change mitigation, the City Government of
Makati responded through actions that entail activity data inventory and setting the
management plan framework for its entity and community level. The City of Makati first
completed inventories of emissions for both government operations (entity level)1
and the
community governed by the LGU (community level)2
. Based on the understanding of emissions
provided by these inventories, the City Government of Makati then prepared a GHG
Management Framework Plan (Framework Plan) that sets the blueprint to reduce future
emissions through policy initiatives, projects, and program of activities.
The Framework Plan sets the LGU’s GHG management agenda. Furthermore, it sets forth the
LGU's aspiration of becoming a premiere city in the country and in the ASEAN region with
regards to GHG governance at the local level.
With reference to the inventory data as detailed in the Inventory Report, the Framework Plan
identifies the sectors in which the local government will give particular attention to in order to
achieve its reduction goal and targets. The GHG inventory was completed consistent with a
number of international guidance and standards. Results of the inventory cover the reporting
period from January to December 2011. For the year 2011 the total GHG emission of Makati
City is 1,557,683.25 Metric Tonnes of Carbon Dioxide. To further explain the sources of
emission, below are the sectors included in the inventory with corresponding GHG emission
and percentage share:
1
Entity Level Inventory refers to the inventory of GHG emissions of the organization or for the sake of the
LGU, the government-controlled, owned and managed units and jurisdiction
2
Community Level Inventory refers to the inventory of GHG emissions of sectors (e.g. waste, agriculture,
transportation, etc.) that are within the control, jurisdiction and boundary of the LGU

Under a business as usual scenario, the City of Makati will continue to experience growth in its
local economy and the direct impact is also an exponential growth in its GHG emission.
In response to the call for climate action, the City Government of Makati has committed to
reducing its GHG emissions through mitigation initiatives set in the Framework GHG
Management Plan following the principles and objectives that will be discussed in detail in the
document. The result of the inventory and following this challenge guided the development of
this from which a detailed Long Term GHG Management Plan is anticipated to be developed in
2013 that will help the LGU identify its target emissions reduction.
5. 5
The City Government of Makati committed itself to developing a Framework Plan, led by the
Department of Environmental Services aimed at articulating the LGU’s approach to GHG
management.
The Makati City’s long-term vision and mission are as follows:
Vision:
The Makati Carbon Reduction & Offsetting Program (CROP) sets the City’s direction
towards becoming a premiere local government unit in the country and in the South
East Asia Region in the field of GHG management.
Mission:
Makati City will be the model for GHG Management through the implementation of
breakthrough carbon-neutral technologies, practices, and stakeholders’ participatory
action.
As a rationale, the City Government of Makati perceives the Framework Plan with the following
perspectives:
Frames into perspective the relevance of the GHG inventory report that:
o Establishes understandable and measurable baseline data to comprehend the
impact of Makati City on climate change based from its reported activity data from
significant sectors
o Develops initial data sets needed to monitor and assess local actions on climate
change mitigation
o Understands current GHG emissions of Makati City and gain insights to project
future emissions
Complements the inventory report by making sense of the inventory data and bringing
in a concrete and actionable perspective within the LGU that allows it to manage what it
has measured. More specifically, it helps the LGU to:
o Analyze the Makati City’s GHG emissions to identify and map out climate change
mitigation opportunities and options
o Plan its GHG emissions reduction strategies through various local policy initiatives
and projects and program of activities
Prepares the City of Makati and its citizens for regulated or voluntary GHG reduction
programs in the future
Manages risks brought about by high GHG emissions that aggravate climate change
Promotes environmental advocacy and social responsibility
6. 6
The Framework Plan creates a blueprint and sets the direction of the LGU with regards to its
climate change action, particularly in the aspect of mitigation through GHG emissions reduction
strategies. Specifically, the primary objective(s) of the Framework Plan for Makati City are:
• To integrate the GHG management framework plan to existing development plans of
the City Government (e.g. CLUP, CDP, Climate Change Action Plan)
• To develop strategies and mechanisms on how to
• To implement local policies related to climate change mitigation and GHG reduction
• To develop realistic and time bound programs, projects and activities related to GHG
emission reduction
Finally, as the LGU intends to institutionalize these climate change actions into a long-term
initiative, the City Government of Makati must establish specific GHG Management
organization to lead Makati in pursuit to position the city as one of the most environmentally
sustainable city not only in the country but in the ASEAN Region.
1 Introduction
Our Changing Climate: The Importance of GHG Management
The effects of climate change are now being felt throughout the world - periods of long
drought, abnormal deluges and floods, and more unpredictable weather conditions. Recent
weather-related environmental catastrophes demonstrate the harmful effects of climate
change in the Philippines. Overwhelming scientific evidence shows that global warming is
altering the earth’s normal temperature and climatic shifts. Human activities such as burning of
fossil fuel and land use change due to rapid urbanization are considered significant factors that
contribute to the increasing amount of GHG emissions in the earth's atmosphere.
The degree and scope of climate change and its consequences now require collective
sustainable solutions. At the national level, the Philippine government, as a signatory to the
Kyoto Protocol, expressed its commitment to addressing GHG emissions by identifying
reduction targets and implementing policies to help mitigate climate change. The role of Local
Government Units (LGUs) in climate change mitigation complements that of the national
government and is crucial particularly with regards to planning and implementing policy
initiatives at entity and community levels3
.
3
Entity Level Inventory refers to the inventory of GHG emissions of the organization or for the sake of the
LGU, the government-controlled, owned and managed units and jurisdiction. Community Level Inventory
refers to the inventory of GHG emissions of sectors (e.g. waste, agriculture, transportation, industry, etc.)
that are within the control, jurisdiction and boundary of the LGU
7. 7
As a part of its commitment to mitigating climate change, the City Government of Makati has
completed bottom-up GHG inventories to complement the lead of the national government.
Following the completions of the inventories, the City Government of Makati initiated ongoing
processes as an approach to monitor, inventory and manage GHG emissions at both levels.
The City Government of Makati emphasizes the importance of preparing and implementing a
GHG Management Plan. Overall, the GHG Management Plan allows the City Government to
analyze the emissions produced within its geographic boundary and to identify appropriate
climate change mitigation options through policies and programs. Using the inventory report
as a backbone for a scientific baseline analysis of trends in GHG emissions, the plan serves as
Makati City’s blueprint for climate action. It lays out the framework for setting targets and goals
to reduce emissions, as well as concrete approaches and options that the city can adopt and
implement. It articulates the strategies, policy options, programs and activities - mainstreaming
the existing and developing future actions - to institutionalize best practices on climate change
mitigation of the city.
At present, the City Government of Makati has a number of programs, projects, and activities
(PPAs) and policies that are being implemented. A GHG Management Plan will allow the GHG
Makati Team to mainstream these ongoing initiatives, with specific attention to mitigation. It
can influence the creation of legislative measures influencing a more unified set of mitigation
actions and institutionalization in the future.
Benefits of GHG Management
The Framework Plan is the principal document that will guide the further development of the
city's Long-term GHG Management Plan. The preparation of the GHG Management Plan for the
City of Makati is broken down into two steps: the Framework GHG Management Plan
(Framework Plan) and the Long Term GHG Management Plan (Long Term Plan). These follow
the completion of the GHG inventory in sequence, as shown below in Figure 1.
Figure 2. GHG Management Process
8. 8
The Framework Plan builds on this background and starts the process that will eventually lead
to a Long Term GHG Management Plan for the LGU. In particular the Framework Plan
establishes the vision, strategy and the broad goals and targets the LGU will pursue in its rapid
launch initiatives. By determining the emissions over which the LGU has the largest influence
and articulating goals and strategies that will enable the city of Makati to reduce its GHG
emissions, the Framework Plan sets the overall priorities for how the LGU will manage what it
was able to measure in terms of its emissions.
The Long Term Plan, which is to be developed in future initiative, builds upon the Framework
Plan and analyzes specific initiatives in the priority areas that can be further enhanced and
institutionalized to meet the city's targets. It also provides a detailed long-term action plan for
implementation and monitoring.
The LGU has identified the following purposes for developing a GHG Management Plan
document:
It will provide decision makers the GHG emission projection of the City for the next
three (3) years;
It serves as an additional tool to strengthen existing development plans of the City (e.g.
CLUP) especially in the area of climate change mitigation;
It shall guide, the City Government to efficiently implement the following sector specific
initiatives:
- Energy: Green Transport Plan and Green Building initiative
- Solid Waste: integration of GHG management programs to the 10 year solid waste
management plan of the City
- Waste water- construction of additional sewage treatment plants (STP)

Makati City Climate Change and Disaster Preparedness Profile
Makati is located within the quadrangle of 12° 01' latitude north and 14° 33' longitude east. It is
bounded on the north by the Pasig River facing the City of Mandaluyong, on the east by the
Municipality of Pateros, on the northwest by the City of Manila, and on the south and
southwest by the City of Pasay. It is one of the fourteen (14) cities of the National Capital
Region which also include three (3) municipalities.
The slope of the land descends towards west, southwest to southern direction. A network of
natural waterways and rivers of various sizes and importance is traversing through the
landscape down south to Manila Bay.
Makati City is exposed to three hazards, flood, landslide and earthquake. The western portion
of the city is flood prone. The eastern portion of the city is earthquake prone. A portion of the
eastern side of the city is also landslide prone.
The western portion of the city is composed of former tidal flats making it prone to flooding.
Areas near waterways are also prone to flooding. There is one major waterway and 16 minor
waterways in the city.
Makati City’s climate generally falls under Type I category of the Philippine Climate Corona
Classification that has two (2) pronounced seasons, wet and dry season. The months of May to
October are considered rainy season period while relatively dry and cool weather pattern
begins from November to April.
Climate Classification based on Philippine Climate Corona
Type I - two pronounced seasons: dry from November to April wet during the rest of the
year.
Type II - No Dry seasons with a very pronounced rainfall from November to January.
Type III - Seasons are not very pronounced relatively dry from November to April and
wet during the rest of the year.
Type IV - Rainfall is more or less evenly distributed through the year. (SEP 2009)
Extreme weather conditions attributed to climate change affects the country’s climate
variability. The intensity of typhoons that traverse the city has been observed as increasing.
The La Niña and El Niño phenomenon has affected the country’s weather conditions.
Demographic, economic, social, cultural characteristics
The city is composed of thirty three (33) barangays which are grouped into six (6) clusters.
These are the Central, Westside, Northwest, North Central, Eastside, Northeast clusters. North
Central and Eastside Clusters are the two most densely populated locations in the city.
14. 14
The most vulnerable settlements are located in the Eastside cluster. This is based on the
vulnerability assessment conducted by the city in its project Makati City Risk-Sensitive Urban
Redevelopment Project (MRSURP).
The city administration implements policies and partnerships on vulnerability alleviation thru
the MRSURP. It aims to mainstream urban disaster risk reduction in land use planning and
disaster management and is funded by the German Federal Foreign Office (FFO) administered
through the German Committee for Disaster Reduction (DKKV) and in partnership with the
Earthquakes and Megacities Initiatives (EMI), Philippine Institute of Volcanology and
Seismology (PHIVOLCS).
Although the communities are not historically well-organized, they are gradually preparing for
potential threats by actively participating in the city’s program for disaster preparedness.
Moreover, the city incessantly continues its programs on information, education and
communication and involves all the communities in its projects concerning disaster.
City DRM policy, legislation, plans and capacities
The city policies on disaster risk management include the creation of Makati City Disaster Risk
Reduction and Management Council (MCDRRMC), through City Ordinance No. 97093 on July 1,
1997.
The City also adheres with the policies contained on Republic Act No. 10121, also known as
Philippine Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Act of 2010. This law strengthens the
Philippine disaster risk reduction and management system, provides the national disaster risk
reduction and management framework and institutionalizes the national disaster risk reduction
and management plan.
Other policies supporting the City’s Disaster Risk Reduction (DRM) initiatives include the Makati
21 Agenda, Comprehensive Land Use Plan, Makati Zoning Ordinance, Makati Solid Waste
Management Plan, Drainage Master Plan and local ordinances on the creation of Makati
Emergency Systems and Makati Rescue, Barangay Disaster Risk Reduction and Management
Council.
The city administration in sufficiently equipped with personnel and capacities. The Makati
Rescue conducts seminars and trainings on disaster management for barangay personnel and
volunteers. The Department of Environmental Services also conducts seminars on climate
change. There are also other information, education and communication projects that help
equip the city administration including residents on climate adaptation and disaster risk
reduction.
The city does not have a final DRM Plan however; the Makati DRRMC is a multi-sectoral council
that discusses the DRM Plan, disaster preparedness activities and projects and other related
tasks.
15. 15
Risk Assessments
The city started its comprehensive disaster risk assessment in 2008 through the Makati City
Risk-Sensitive Urban Redevelopment Project (MRSURP) including the mapping of vulnerable
barangays. The vulnerability assessment was based on the physical risk, social vulnerability and
coping capacity of the barangays. A complete and comprehensive disaster risk assessment has
only been done with Brgy. Rizal.
Barangay Rizal is the first barangay to be part of the MRSURP. The barangay together with the
city government has conducted a strategic planning workshop, community preparation and
advocacy planning workshop, barangay visioning workshop, vulnerability and capacity
assessment survey, building and lifeline inventory, disaster town watching and disaster
mitigation planning workshop. These activities are for the redevelopment of the barangay in
addressing its high risk and vulnerability.
The assessment conducted with Brgy. Rizal is multi-sectoral. It identified the different aspects
of vulnerability such as social, physical, institutional and economic vulnerability.
The results of the vulnerability, risk assessment and mapping were disseminated to the zone
leaders and barangay officials at Brgy. Rizal thru barangay consultation. They are tasked to
inform all those concerned the result of the said assessment.
The city shared the result with neighboring barangays. However, the city has not yet started
addressing trans-city risks.
Land use planning
The city’s land use plan is integrated with risk sensitive and resilience principles. The
Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP) is currently being updated. It has considerations on
hazards and disaster resilience. The Eastside cluster is identified as the most vulnerable cluster
in the city. This area of the city is planned to be classified as a danger zone but is still yet to be
finalized because of the lack of scientific data on the exact location of the fault zone.
Informal settlements in the city are currently being addressed. These settlements are being
tagged for relocation to the nearby provinces of Bulacan and Laguna or for “Balik Probinsya”.
The relocation site in Bulacan known as the Dreamlandville, Makati-GK Community
Development Project is in partnership with BDO Foundation and Gawad Kalinga.
The city has a major waterway that boarders the north side of the city. The Pasig River has a
total of 60 km length of which 6 kms passes through Makati. The city’s Zoning Ordinance
classifies the area along the river as Riverside Development Zone. This zone has prescribed
development. The prescribed development takes into account the possible occurrence of flood
and other climate related disasters.
16. 16
The Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP) and Zoning Ordinance (ZO) are two of the city’s tools
in urban planning and development. The creation of these plans is highly participatory. It
involves the different departments and offices of the city government and consultation with
NGOs, civil society organizations and the private sector. The CLUP and ZO both help in the
preservation and conservation of the natural environment.
Regulatory measures
The Philippines has strong environmental laws and mandates that conserve critical natural
environments. The following are national mandates that support resilience and conservation of
natural environments:
Clean Water Act
Ecological Solid Waste Management Act
National Building Code
Local Government Code
Urban Development and Housing Act
Millennium Development Goals
National Physical Framework Plan
National Framework Strategy and Program on Climate Change are some of the
Makati City has local ordinances and resolutions that support the above mentioned national
mandates:
Makati 21 Agenda
Comprehensive Land Use Plan
Makati Zoning Ordinance
Makati Solid Waste Management Plan
Financial Management Plan
Traffic Management
Hospital Management Information System
City’s Medium-Term and Annual Investment Plan
The 2012 GHG Inventory Report identifies the following sectors as significant contributors to
emissions within the LGU’s community boundary. Table 5 summarizes the total emissions from
the various sectors in the city, while Figure 2 presents the percentage contribution of each
sector to the total emissions:
Stationary Energy
Transportation
Waste
Electricity (Scope 2)

Grand Total 1,541,016.63
The Electricity consumption of business and residential sector tops the list, and constitutes
1,186,316 tCO2 of the total emissions. This was followed by transportation sector with 18%,
waste sector 7% and generator and boiler set fuel consumption 0.45%
In the case of Makati City, being the financial and business capital of the country, emissions will
continue to increase due to continuous infrastructure development (e.g. corporate buildings,
condominium etc.) being carried out by land developers and business investors.

Existing GHG Reduction Actions of Makati City
The city of Makati has implemented various GHG emissions reduction programs as part of its
initiatives to mitigate climate change. Based from its inventory report, the significant sectors
with the highest GHG emissions are the electricity and energy sectors. As such, the LGU of
Makati engaged in various initiatives to reduce emissions in said sectors. Below is an overview
of the LGU’s major programs, and projects, and activities that have help meet the objectives of
the climate action initiative:
SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT
The Solid Waste Management Program of the City of Makati requires all households to
segregate their garbage at source using the following segregation scheme:
Biodegradable
Non-biodegradable
Likewise, the City Government of Makati in partnership with the association of junkshop
owners (KAJOM) is regularly implementing a program called “Baratilyo ng Basura sa
Brgy”. It is a community based program to make recycling more convenient for the
household by making recyclers more accessible. A similar garbage diversion program of
the City Government is the Weekend Waste Market, which is in partnership with Ayala
Foundation. A portion of City’s waste recovery and diversion comes from the public
schools that have been tapped to set up Materials Recover Facilities in their respective
compounds. In addition, these MRFs not only service the schools but also the adjacent
communities. Lastly, during the weeks leading up to Christmas the City Government
organize a trade fair that features handicrafts/ products made out of recycled materials.
This activity highlights the value of recycling through entrepreneurial skills and ingenuity
of partner organizations and communities.
Given all these initiatives the City of Makati has managed to reduce the volume of solid
waste that goes to the sanitary landfill by 44% in relation to the base year (see GHG
Community Level Inventory Report). The success of the city’s waste reduction and
recovery program can be credited to partnerships the City government has forged with
the private sector through the years.
ENERGY – TRANSPORT AND ELECTRICITY CONSUMPTION OF COMMERCIAL
ESTABLSIHMENTS AND RESIDENTIAL HOUSES
The energy sector of the City has the highest contribution in GHG emissions amounting
to about 75%. While the transport sector has the second highest contribution in the
emission amounting to 18%. The City government of Makati has been strongly
encouraging the “Engine Shift Policy” to all tricycles owners/operators to change their
two-stroke engines to four strokes. Likewise, the City Government as part of its Climate
19. 19
Change mitigation program regularly conducts tree planting activities within and outside
the geographical boundaries of the City to counter the effects of emissions coming from
the transportation sector and also increase the carbon sequestration capability of the
City. To this date, the City Government of Makati was able to plant 95,000 trees within
City and continuously partnering with the private sector to increase the number of trees
planted.
In the area of electricity consumption, the “Palit Ilaw Program” of the City Government
in partnership with the Department of Energy and Philips- the said activity aims to
educate residents of the City on the advantage of using energy efficiency bulbs. In
partnership with the Department of Energy the City Government of Makati has
distributed energy efficient bulbs to residential houses and commercial establishments.
WASTE WATER
The Manila Water and Maynilad in partnership with the City Government of Makati
regularly implement septic dislodging activities to its consumers. Likewise, commercial
establishment in Makati Central Business District and several residential houses in
Makati are currently connected to existing sewerage treatment plants (STP) directly
manage by Maynilad and Mani Water.

3 Low Carbon Community:
Vision, Priorities, and Goals
A Vision for a Low Carbon Community
The GHG Management Plan of sets forth Makati’s low carbon community vision and mission
that will serve as an anchor to all future programs and projects related to GHG management:
Vision:
“The Makati City Carbon Reduction & Offsetting Program (CROP) sets the City’s direction
towards becoming a premiere local government unit in the country and in the South East Asia
Region in the field of GHG management.”
Mission:

Reduction Goals and Targets
As mentioned in previous sections, the GHG emissions of Makati City in its base year 2011
amounts to a total of 1,541,016.63 tCO2e.
From a business as usual scenario, in the next ten (10) years, Makati City being the financial
capital of the country will continue to experience economic growth and also based on the
CLUP-SEPP.
However, it is an indispensable fact that along with economic growth is the significant increase
of GHG emission. Henceforth, the purpose of the GHG Management Framework Plan and Long
Term GHG Management Plan is to identify realistic, responsive and attainable programs and
projects that will mitigate the adverse effects of Climate Change through GHG Management. On
the other hand, another purpose of drafting the GHG Management Plan is to position the City
of Makati as one of the environmentally sustainable cities not only in the country but in the
whole ASEAN Region.

4 Achieving Low Carbon Community
Vision, Priorities, and Goals
Establishing a Sustainable GHG Management Function
At present, the responsibility of developing the Framework Plan resides with the GHG Makati
Team an interim group which was organized during the conduct of Entity and Community- Level
GHG Inventory. To this date, no legal mandate (e.g. ordinance and executive order) has been
instituted by the City Government of Makati to bind members of the Ad Hoc group to perform
specific duties and function with regards to any GHG related activities. Operationally, all
activities undertaken by the group has been cascaded from the Department of Environmental
Services Head.
Moreover, the current GHG Makati Team is headed by the D.E.S. Department Head and is
composed of representatives from the following departments in the City Government:
1. Office of the Mayor
2. General Services Department
3. Urban Development Department
4. Department of Engineering and Public Works
5. Economic Enterprise Management Office
As the primary steward and facilitator of GHG reduction initiatives in the City of Makati, it is
imperative that GHG management will be established as a regular function within the local
government. Strong, ongoing institutions with appropriate capacities and adequate resources
(i.e. manpower and budget) are critical elements for effective and sustainable GHG
management. The sections below discuss the local government’s way forward to establish this
sustainable GHG management function. Given the present status of the GHG Management
Team, several policy option highlighted below will be presented to City Council and Office of
the Mayor for deliberation and approval:
FORMAL CREATION OF GHG MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE UNDER THE
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION COUNCIL OF MAKATI CITY
To be able to sustain the GHG initiative of the City, there is a need to enact an ordinance
formally creating the GHG Management Committee. Operationally speaking, the said
committee will be part of the existing Environmental Protection Council. In order, to
efficiently implement programs and projects related to GHG management there is need
to augment the existing personnel of the GHG Makati Team.
23. 23
i. Resources Needed. An estimated amount of PHP 2,100,000 is needed to implement the
immediate next steps and initiatives in the Framework Plan. This estimate shall be used
to hire additional staff to perform new duties and responsibilities in the GHG
Management Team to fund the conduct and implementation of actual activities and
projects and to engage third party advisors and service providers that may be needed.
Table 1 presents a breakdown of the estimated resources needed.

Total 2,100,000
ii. Potential Funding Sources. To support the resources necessary for implementing the
City’s/Municipality’s GHG reduction initiatives, several potential funding sources have
been identified and will be explored by the local government. They are categorized as
follows:
Type Source
Internal/Local
Revenue Sources
Annual Investment Plan (AIP)
Special Funds and
Grants
Special funds from multilateral development
banks and donor agencies, from national
government agencies (e.g. Climate Change
Commission, DOTC, DOE, ADB, World Bank
etc.)
Counterpart
Sources
Ayala Group of Companies, MERALCO, Philips
iii. Capacity Development Needs. Equally important to the commencement of plan
implementation is the continuous capacity development Makati City in the area of climate
change and GHG management. In the first few years of implementation, the GHG
Management Team will develop and strengthen its internal capacity, particularly in the
following fields:
Project-level Greenhouse Gas Accounting
Climate Change Mitigation Planning and Co-benefits
24. 24
Monitoring and assessment of projects and overall progress of plan
implementation
Sectoral GHG Management for local governments
Project Management
Integrated adaptation and mitigation planning
Multi-stakeholder engagement
Clean technologies
Benchmarking
Basic Organization on Green House Gas Accounting
Fundamentals in the Formulation of GHG Management Plan
For other organizational units in the LGU, as well as the City Council and other
stakeholders involved in the operations of the local government, continuous capacity
development on the science of climate change and basics of GHG accounting and GHG
management will be conducted.
The LGU will capacitate other stakeholders in the LGU for them to participate more
actively and effectively in the management of the community’s GHG emissions. For
private sector emitters- capacity development on GHG accounting and management is
essential. For the community, as whole, initial efforts to create and raise awareness on
climate change impacts, mitigation, and co-benefits are essential. To gather support for
local initiatives there is a need to escalate and expand the capacities of the stakeholders
to achieve optimum success. In particular, build the capacity of the community on:
Understanding GHG mitigation opportunities and clean technology options
Program implementation
- Building energy efficiency
- Transportation mitigation and management
- General orientation on renewable energy initiatives
- Waste management
Strengthening Local Governance for GHG Management
Mitigating the impact of climate change requires both national and local action. While national
policies and programs exist, strategies and plans at the local level are necessary as the effects of
climate change is largely a localized concern and requires specific approaches tailored to fit
local characteristics and environment. The responsibility of knowledge management, planning
and regulation, implementation, and awareness building fit squarely into the mandates and
authorities of LGUs and highlights the importance of local governance in climate change
mitigation.
The City of Makati prioritizes four (4) major categories of initiatives to support and strengthen
climate change mitigation governance at the local level.
25. 25
i. GHG Management and Climate Change Integration into Planning Processes and
Administrative Procedures. Opportunities to integrate GHG management into regular
planning processes of LGUs exist in the various local plans required of them by national
laws and mandates. Among these are local development plans, annual investment plans,
and the local climate change action plan. Establishing GHG management and climate
change mitigation as critical elements in the city’s development and planning processes
ensures that they will be well integrated into ongoing governance processes. This ensures
that the implementation of GHG management initiatives will be efficient and effective.
The City of Makati shall develop and/or update the following local plan documents to
include GHG management and climate change mitigation in the LGU’s various initiatives
proposed in these plans:
Comprehensive Land Use Plan
Legal Mandate: Local Government Code, Urban and Development Housing Act
Sectors Affected: Land use, buildings and residential
In compliance with the recent directive from the national government, the city of
Makati is currently updating its Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP) 2013- 2023. The
formulation of the CLUP is a perfect opportunity to integrate the GHG management
initiative in the allocation of resources. The CLUP is a critical planning document for
the LGU as it influences the development of the city in the area of environmental
stability, spatial integration, food security, and access to physical and natural
resources among others. The management of the GHG emissions from the LGU’s key
source sectors – stationary energy, transportation, waste and industry – will
significantly be affected by plans and programs that are included in the CLUP.
Among the important revisions in the CLUP that are related to GHG management and
climate change mitigation includes the full integration of the GHG Management Plan
initiatives (e.g program, plans and activities). In the area of institutional development,
there is a need also to integrate GHG plans more specifically in the conduct of GHG
Entity and Community Inventory into the existing processes of the City Government.
Climate Change Action Plan
Legal Mandate: Climate Change Act
The City of Makati is in the process of formulating its local climate change action plan
as mandated by the Climate Change Act. Therefore, inclusion of the different
programs and projects listed in the GHG Management Plan is strategically important
since CO2 reduction is also one of the priorities of National Climate Change Action
Plan 2011- 2028.
26. 26
ii. Data Collection and Management. Effective climate change planning relies largely on data
availability and quality. Robust data collection and management systems are foundation
of GHG inventory accounting, which in turn is crucial to ensuring that GHG management
processes are responsive to climate change challenges. The planned initiatives of the city
government to improve data management include:
Improving the city government’s data collection procedures for existing services by
integrating collection of GHG data on the following permit documents:
1. Renewal of business permits
2. Application of building permits
3. Application to install generator and boiler set/s (Office of the Building Permits)
4. Payment of real estate tax
Partnering with Mapua Institute of Technology (Makati) to create a website, online
portal, for GHG and other climate change related information
Partnering with the University of Makati and Ateneo School of Government for
assistance in research and data gathering i.e. surveys and interviews relevant to
periodic conduct of GHG inventories
Development or acquisition of data management system to facilitate submission and
storage of GHG and other climate change information from stakeholders in the
community
iii. Leadership by Example. The total GHG emission of Makati City Government operations is
12,448 tCOe. To reduce its emissions and to set an example for the whole community, the
local government has identified several opportunities in line with Makati City’s low carbon
vision.
GHG Management of Emissions from Local Government Operations. This type of
initiatives open new perspectives, encourages learning, and demonstrates doable actions
that transform LGU employees as leaders at the forefront of GHG management. The LGU
initiatives below are designed to directly lessen the GHG emissions from its own
operations and present models for wider and broader initiatives for the community.
Reducing the electricity consumption (in kWh) of all LGU-owned buildings and
establishments should be prioritized by the City Government leadership. In
connection, the following items are the propose intervention plan to reduce the
electricity consumption of the City Government:
1. Formulation of Makati City Government Energy Saving Plan
2. Creation of monthly electricity consumption target spearheaded by General
Services Department
3. Installation of LED to all existing streetlights
4. Creation of incentive scheme
27. 27
Reducing the volume of solid waste collected from LGU-owned buildings and
establishments by conducting a monthly used paper collection activity
spearheaded by the Department of Environmental Services, banning the use of
plastics and Styrofoam, implementing garbage segregation policies in all LGU
offices, etc.
New Initiatives for Rapid Launch. While the city’s Long-Term GHG Management Plan is
being prepared, The LGU can act on certain key opportunities can to manage GHG
emissions from local government operations. (For better appreciation please see rapid
launch activities in Chapter 6).
iv. Building Community Awareness. The residents, business organizations, and
transportation sector are key players in realizing the city’s low carbon vision. GHG
emissions from energy use and waste generation of residential and commercial buildings,
as well as from fuel consumption of the public and private transportation sector directly
affect the different stakeholders of the City. The active involvement and contribution of
these sectors is critical for the GHG emission reduction initiatives for the City Government
of Makati. Community awareness of climate change and GHG mitigation and its benefits is
essential to developing the commitment and support necessary to move these plans
forward. In addition, various sectors with the community must understand why the steps
to be taken are necessary and what role they are to play.
The City of Makati has identified the following actions to build community awareness on
GHG management and climate change mitigation opportunities:
Develop an audio visual presentations related to GHG management and climate change
that will be shown in key strategic locations such as cinema houses, electronic billboards,
city hall lobby, MRT station (Guadalupe, Ayala and Magallanes)
Create a dedicated Climate Change Action portal in the city’s website
Partner with the University of Makati, Mapua Institute of Technology and Ateneo
School of Government to bring together academia, business sector, and the local
government and form a formal group that deals with activities related to GHG
management (e.g. BAQ, LEDS) funding support for competitions between
barangays or villages implementing community-based GHG reduction initiatives
Develop and implement basic climate change modules for local public and private
schools in the community.
Conduct a town hall meetings in private villages with homeowners associations,
barangay halls, churches, local transportation terminals, and public markets to
bring down the awareness campaigns to the grass roots
28. 28
Initiatives Focused on the Community
The Makati City’s low carbon path rests on reducing the GHG emissions of the broader
community. For Makati City, the potentials are in the sectors of electricity consumption
(residential and commercial), transportation, solid waste, water waste and stationary energy.
Existing initiatives that work for the community will be continued and may be improved or
expanded, while a more comprehensive list of initiatives and policies will be extensively studied
and developed for long-term implementation. In this Framework Plan, initiatives to bring down
community GHG emissions are divided into:
Initiatives for further assessment in preparation for the Long-Term GHG Management
Plan
New initiatives for rapid launch that will be implemented from November 2012 to June
2013 in parallel with the preparation of the Long-Term GHG Management Plan.
i. Strategic Long Term Initiatives
Climate Smart Transportation. The City of Makati hosts an average of 800,000 vehicles
daily with equivalent emissions of 266,677 tCOe of the community’s total. To make an
impact and significantly improve this sector’s carbon footprint, coordinated urban
planning policies, provision of enabling means for low-carbon transportation, and
initiatives to directly reduce fuel consumption are necessary. The LGU has identified the

the City and its environment, there should be a collective effort between City
Government, Barangay residents and business/commercial owners. It is from this
premise that we intend to identify and develop GHG reduction initiatives and programs
that will encourage stakeholders to embrace our transforming Makati City into a low
carbon city in the country. As such, we intend to encourage existing business owners
and future investors to invest in energy efficient technologies, complemented by
implementing energy conservation measures that will contribute less to their future
carbon footprint.
The following strategies and initiatives have been identified to reduce emissions from
building energy use and industrial processes:
Four priorities:
1. Designing low carbon neighborhoods
