Session 1

The LCCAP Transformation: Understanding

the Enhanced Guidebook
 LEGAL BASIS
• The Climate Change Act of
2009 (Republic Act 9729) as
amended by RA 10174
identifies local government
units as frontline agencies in
formulating, planning and
implementing climate change
actions in their communities.

• The law requires all LGUs to

prepare a local climate
change action plan or The plan should be integrated in their local
LCCAP. development plans, and should be
consistent with the NFSCC and the NCCAP.
 WHAT IS LCCAP?
• Document prepared by LGU with substantial
content on policies, programs and measures to:
- increase the community's resilience
(adaptation actions) to the impacts of climate
change and reduce greenhouse gas emissions
(mitigation actions)

• The NFSCC and the NCCAP underscores the

integration of adaptation and mitigation
measures into all existing national and local plans
and strategies.
LCCAP TRANSFORMATION

Law awareness &

gearing-up for Deepening capacity, expansion of Science-based
implementation targets & institutionalizing protocols strategies
LCCAP Books 1 and 2
 What is new in this Guide?
• It sustains LGA’s commitment to
assist LGUs in preparing their
LCCAP;
• It supports LGUs in crafting
LCCAPs that leads them to
achieving sustainable
development by ensuring socio-
economic resilience while
harnessing the emission
reduction potentials;
• It is the result of consultations
and discussions with concerned
national government agencies,
LGUs, academic institutions, and
other major stakeholders;
 What is new in this Guide?
• It helps LGUs define local priority
actions for both adaptation and
mitigation, including the
introduction of the concept of
mitigation and provides
guidance to LGUs in developing
LED strategies that can support
the achievement of local
development goals a priorities

• It has the flexibility to be used

both as a general resource and
as step-by-step planning process
 What are the features of the
Enhanced LCCAP Guidebook?
 Builds on existing Book 1 and 2 of the LCCAP
Guide, issued by LGA-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

Adaptation, Mitigation & Co-Benefits
• As stated in the Climate Change Act of
2009, the goal of a country’s climate
actions is to “build the adaptive capacity
of communities and increase the resilience
of sectors and natural ecosystem, and
optimize the mitigation opportunities
towards sustainable development.”
Adaptation, Mitigation & Co-Benefits

• introduces the co-benefits approach as an equally

important concept for LGUs to consider in LCCAP
formulation.

• The co-benefits approach underscores the fact that

development and climate actions are mutually
reinforcing and compatible.

Module A: Getting Ready for LCCAP
Formulation
Description
helps the LGU get ready for the LCCAP formulation process by guiding them
in revisiting the visions and goals of CLUP and CDP and to situating and
ensuring that adaptation and mitigation actions are integrated and
mainstreamed in these plans through LCCAP

Steps Tools

Description
Processing information and all data available to be the basis for the identification of local
climate actions. It aims to support LGUs to (1) further understand climate change and its
potential impacts to their locality, and (2) identify key issues, challenges, and opportunities
relative to climate change that they should address in view of their development objectives.
