V-LED Good Practice Exchange | 16 March 16 2016, Sta. Rosa, Laguna, Philippines Opening Remarks and Overview Bernhard Barth Human Settlements Officer, UN-Habitat Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific Mr. Bernhard Barth opened the event by welcoming the guests and acknowledging Sta. Rosa and adelphi as the event’s host and main partner, respectively. He explained UN-Habitat’s overall work on climate change (CC) and its objectives to support cities, at the same time engage at the city and regional levels, through capacity development, focusing on resilience and adaptation. The Regional Office started previously with a dedicated CC program in Sorsogon, and is now moving towards Low Emission Development (LED) Strategies. As cities work sectorally, UN-Habitat tries to find good entry points in CC support. In this case, the team looks at solid waste management, correlated financial issues and overall implementation mechanisms in the integration of CC into planning processes. At the National level, focus is on multi-level governance framework, CC policies, and capturing lessons and disseminating them thereof. In the V-LED project, adelphi is a consortium partner while UN-Habitat is the implementing partner in the region. The project has two main pillars: 1) vertical and horizontal exchange, learning and networking at national and city levels primarily, and 2) cross-country sharing. The Good Practice Exchange (GPE) is one of the components in which mechanisms to strengthen capacities are revealed and determined. Finally, Mr. Barth expressed how glad he is to learn about Sta. Rosa’s good practices and discover other cities’ initiatives as well. According to Intended Nationally Determined Contributions (INDC), the Philippines committed a reduction in Greenhouse Gas Emissions (GHG) to 70% in a short timeframe of 15 years. This can only be achieved through local action by local government units (LGUs), communities and individuals. Marcus Andreas, PhD Project Manager, adelphi gGmbph Dr. Marcus Andreas oriented participants on adelphi as an organization. adelphi is a German-based company that provides solutions and services for global sustainability through research, consulting and dialogue, with several projects done worldwide for many international institutions, businesses, and organizations. The V-LED project originated from a recently concluded project called Climate Dialogue. It employs many top-down & bottom-up approaches to better learn and understand each other and foster constructive interaction and coordination to raise awareness, encourage exchange, and anchor climate change adaptation (CCA). The V-LED follows a dialogical approach wherein we bring together actors on all levels in refining policies and action planning. This approach promotes constructive dialogues and applies an user-centered perspective, where all voices are tried to be considered and “key speakers” shift to “key listeners” and vice-versa. Dr. Andreas finished by underscoring the objectives of the GPE, namely: to learn from Sta. Rosa’s extensive experience in GHG management as well as from other cities’ relevant mitigation efforts, and the group’s insights on implementing sustainable initiatives. He said that he is looking forward to the lessons and the outputs of the event. V-LED Good Practice Exchange | 16 March 16 2016, Sta. Rosa, Laguna, Philippines About Sta. Rosa EnP. Ermin Luceno, MPM City Planning and Development Coordinator I. Introduction As presented by Mr. Ermin Luceno, Sta. Rosa City follows a ‘complete’ vision of “a community with sustainable economic growth focused on industrial and commercial development that allows for maximum employment opportunities, promotes a high quality of life through the provision of basic services and achieves a humane and balanced environment”. II. City Profile Located in the CALABARZON region, the City has a growth rate of 4.37%, which is higher than that of Manila, the Province of Laguna and even the entire country. Along with its rapid urbanization is the influx of people. This year, Sta. Rosa’s population has reached nearly 300,000—a 62% increase. As for the economic sector, the city has transformed from a food-producing municipality (back in the day when about 96% of the land was for agricultural use) to an industrial one as manufacturing companies started rushing in by the ‘80s. In terms of social activity, Sta. Rosa is the site of 171 subdvisions (with 3 govt. housing projects) and several educational institutions, making them the “University Belt of the South”. Sta. Rosa’s protective services (PNP & BFP) do however remain insufficient. II. Climate Change Expenditure Tagging (CCET) It is a process for identifying, reporting, and tracking Programs, Activities, and Projects (PAPs) that are responsive to CCA and mitigation, and consequently mainstreaming/institutionalizing CCA in the budget process. In 2015, Sta. Rosa proposed a 7.1% CCET in the AIP but only 2% was approved in the annual budget. In 2016, they’re proposing 12.72%, which is still subject for approval. In the context of climate planning, the city is currently confronted with flooding, urban problems (due to congestion), and lack of data. III. New Vision As they update their CLUP, Sta. Rosa has formulated a new vision with new thrusts, to wit: 3. 4. Inclusive and 5. Safe and 1. Highly 2. ISO-Certified Entrepreneurial Sustainable Secure Urbanized City City Managed City Development Environment 7. Community 8. IT-BPO 6. Disaster- Empowered / 10. Empowered Center of 9.

  • Inception Workshop for ASEAN-Norwegian Cooperation Project on Local Capacity Building for Reducing Plastic Pollution in the ASEA
    PEMSEA Workshop Report Inception workshop for ASEAN-Norwegian cooperation project on local capacity building for reducing plastic pollution in the ASEAN region (ASEANO) and associated activities 3-6 March 2020 Executive Summary Representatives from PEMSEA, NIVA, and CSEAS undertook a trip to Cavite, Philippines, facilitated by Cavite PG-ENRO, to study the proposed pilot site for the Philippine sub-component of the ASEANO project, to meet relevant stakeholders, and to launch the sub-component through an inception workshop with relevant stakeholders from the city of Dasmariñas and nearby areas. During two days of site visits, various sites along the river were visited and documented, and local stakeholders including politicians and academe representatives were met. These visits allowed the project team to obtain a better picture of existing waste reduction efforts along the Imus river. For the river, the project team observed an expected increase in pollution levels as the river moved downstream, and observed numerous areas of waste accumulation and points of waste entry into the river. The university stakeholders, Cavite State University and De La Salle University Dasmariñas, expressed great support for the project and are enthusiastic about becoming involved in the research component of the project. Local politicians were also supportive, and referred us to their various material recovery schemes, which across different jurisdictions performed similar material recovery including producing biogas, recycling plastic into new products such as bags and ecobricks, and creating charcoal. The Inception Workshop held on 5th March brought together stakeholders and interested parties with the dual aims of introducing these parties to the project and providing an opportunity for the project team to ask questions of these individuals.

  • Cavite Province
    CAVITE PROVINCE PROVINCIAL DISASTER RISK REDUCTION AND MANAGEMENT PLAN 2011-2016 PROVINCIAL HAZARD PROFILE Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Plan CAVITE PROVINCE INTRODUCTION Disasters or emergencies can happen suddenly, creating a situation in which the everyday, routinely and sometimes dreary existence of a community can become overwhelmed. During crises, the Province requires special procedures to address the needs of emergency response operations and recovery management. To address such emergencies, the Province of Cavite has established a Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Plan (DRRMP), which provides a guideline for the immediate action and operations required to respond to an emergency or disaster. The Province of Cavite has one of the most dynamic and vibrant economy in the Philippines. This could be attributed to several innate and competitive advantages it has compared to other provinces in the country. The crucial question, however, is how the Province can sustain this performance to generate far more jobs and continue to become a destination of choice for investors and tourists alike. The danger of climate change arguably presents a greater threat than what the government sees as its priorities such as education, health and poverty. If sustained growth is to take place, this challenge must be met. Specifically, we need to strengthen disaster resilience, care more for the urban environment, and confront climate change as part of the growth paradigm. In other words, planners should include disaster resilience into its growth strategies and raise the priority of urban management as a strategic thrust. This would ensure that development plans that are viewed to facilitate economic growth are designed in such a way that would attain the desired level of prosperity without sacrificing the needed balance with the environment.
