Project Brief
Why Vertical Integration
and Learning on Low
Emission Development-LED

Success of a global response to climate challenge depends on

the coordinated effort at multiple levels; in spite of national
climate strategies and targets being in place, very few countries
have been able to establish dynamic vertical policy coordination
mechanisms between the national and local levels.
How V-LED can support the transitioning to low
carbon pathway

Capacity strengthening V-LED supports

Guidelines, toolkits and trainings government partners to
foster climate resilient
Vertical dialogues and low-emission
Multi-level climate dialogues, regional development pathways
conferences through improved multi-
level governance and
knowledge
Horizontal exchanges management.
Good practice exchanges, learning
and sharing

Applied research
Multi-level governance for climate
action
PH Targets
Strengthened planning and coordinating capacities
OUTPUT 1 of key national agencies such as the CC, BLGD-DILG,
HLURB, NEDA and sub-national levels (provinces and
Dialogue Events cities) on Mainstreaming LED in LCCAP through
- Forum regular dialogue events
- Workshops
- RTD

What are the Features of the Enhanced LCCAP Guidebook 3?

• Builds on existing LCCAP Guide, issued by the DILG in 2014 and the
Planning for Climate Change, published by the UN-Habitat in 2014

• Integrates mitigation concept. It introduces what Low Emission

Development (LED) is and how to conduct greenhouse gas (GHG)
inventory and accounting

• Introduces a list of suggested mitigation actions to reduce GHG emissions

(co-benefits) as well as climate change actions which can be both
adaptation and mitigation to guide LGUs in defining options to reduce their
risks

• Features a modified Climate Disaster Risk Assessment (CDRA) to make it

more relevant to the purpose of LCCAP
 Planning for Climate Change

This Enhanced LCCAP Guide Book 3 retains the four

modules in Book 1, namely:
Module 1 – Getting Ready for LCCAP Formulation
Module 2 – Data Gathering, Assessment and Analysis
Module 3 – Planning, Prioritization, and Budgeting
Module 4 – Monitoring and Evaluating the LCCAP

What is different is the inclusion of the four strategic planning

questions:
(1) What is happening?
(2) What can we do about it?
(3) What matters most?
(4) Are we doing it right?
