“… the Local Development Councils may organize their sectoral and functional
committees to assist them in the performance of their planning functions.
THE LCCAP FORMULATION PROCESS

Preparatory Stage

 Agree on the purpose and scope of climate change

adaptation planning. This is essential before proceeding
with the assessment and planning steps considering the
complexities of climate change;

 Consult the constituents in planning and policy/decision

making, identify the stakeholders who should be involved
along with their interest, capacity and influence to the
planning process.
THE LCCAP FORMULATION PROCESS

Data Gathering, Vulnerability Assessment, Risk Analysis

and Validation

 Revisit the LGU vision in the context of climate change

adaptation and disaster risk reduction planning and see
whether CCA-DRR agenda is already included, if not, it
is recommended to include CCA-DRR elements;

 Gathering of relevant data from the local government,

relevant national government agencies and private
sources is imperative and would be very helpful.
.
THE LCCAP FORMULATION PROCESS

Data Gathering, Vulnerability Assessment, Risk Analysis

and Validation
 Some of the important data and information that must be gathered,
but not limited to, are the following:
 LGU Ecological Profile (using the most recent CBMS data)
 Current/Updated CLUP, CDP, LDIP and ELA
 Local weather & climate data (from PAGASA or DOST)
 Hazard and risk maps (check PHILVOLCS for geophysical hazards, MGB for other geohazard
maps such as rainfall-induced landslides, storm surges, liquefaction, and from other sources
such as research studies, projects, and feasibility studies. from local scientific institutions from
Universities and Colleges (local, national, international), the private sector, NGOs and
projects funded by development partners).
 National and LGU produced GIS maps
 Other thematic maps held by government agencies
 Economic, Agriculture and Health data
 Inventory of existing infrastructures
 News clippings of climate & disaster events (if available, for a span of 20-30 years)
 Provincial, City, Municipal Climate Projections (refer to PAGASA and CCC websites)
 Other relevant information needed for vulnerability and adaptation assessment
HAZARD MAPS & DATA SOURCES

HAZARD MAPS & DATA SOURCES
THE LCCAP FORMULATION PROCESS

Data Gathering, Vulnerability Assessment, Risk Analysis

and Validation

 Make use of other available tools and audit forms of

other government agencies which are currently being
used by LGUs to assess their current governance and
management situation;

 Identify climate-related hazards, climate trends,

anomalies and abnormalities that your LGU has
observed and experienced (30 years span)
 HAZARD IDENTIFICATION

• Inventory of historical climate hazard & disaster events:

Compiling past/historical damage data/statistics and
anecdotal accounts;
• For each disaster event, information on intensity and
magnitude, including scale of damages (agriculture,
houses, infrastructure), and how it affects the population
(number of affected population, injured and fatalities).
• Include information on the geographic extent of the
hazards, and the areas affected by disaster events, if
possible, down to purok level, or at the very least aggregate
the data on the barangay level.
THE LCCAP FORMULATION PROCESS
Data Gathering, Vulnerability Assessment, Risk
Analysis and Validation
 Ask the help of a climate science expert or Resource
Persons (e.g. CCC, scientific institutions and other Private
Organizations focused on CCA/DRR issues and/or from
Local Academic & Research Institutions) to interpret and
translate local climate change related data and information
into climate trends and identify/create climate change
projections to be used in the different stages of LCCAP
formulation

 Conduct vulnerability and adaptation assessment (VAA)

by looking at three factors namely: exposure, sensitivity
and adaptive capacity;
VULNERABILITY & ADAPTATION
ASSESSMENT (VAA)
 Remember the Concepts!

• Exposure - is determining WHO, WHERE, and

WHAT is at risk from climate change & geohazards (e.g.
population, resources, property) – multi-sectoral

- determine elements and sectors exposed per hazard

(e.g. SS, Flooding, SLR, Coastal erosion, landslides,
etc ).

to climate change (including climate variability and
extremes) to moderate potential damages, to take
advantage of opportunities, or to cope with the
consequences.

- a combination of ability and efforts in both physical

elements (infrastructure, material wealth, technology)
and social/institutional elements (human/social capital
including information, governance/institutional strength,)
to adapt to climate change.

Situationing VAA(CDRA) in the CLUP/CDP:
- Reviewing the goals and objectives of the CLUP & CDP to
determine if objectives are CC/DRR responsive
- Sectors/Areas with High Vulnerability are priorities and
should have appropriate goals & objectives to address
vulnerabilities

Enhance CLUP/CDP objectives by:

• Formulating ADAPTATION objectives
• Formulating MITIGATION objectives

Identify OPTIONS & INDICATORS

• List down programs, projects, activities & required legislations
• Identify both adaptation and mitigation PPAs applicable to
your LGU

OBJECTIVES & OPTIONS must be “S-M-A-R-T”

THE LCCAP FORMULATION PROCESS

Data Gathering, Vulnerability Assessment, Risk

Analysis and Validation
 Prepare the result of the VAA taking into consideration the
limitations in terms of scope and agreed objectives at the
beginning of the assessment process. It is also important
to include maps generated and all data gathered as part of
the annexes or attachments;
THE LCCAP FORMULATION PROCESS

Planning, Prioritization and Budgeting

 Refer to the result of the VAA and Risk Analysis to
determine what CC risks you want to reduce and what
coping/adaptive capacities you want to enhance

 Check with the goals, objectives and targets of the LGU

for the period (short term, medium term & long term goals)
as stated in the CLUP, CDP & ELA. Refer to the National
Climate Change Action Plan (NCCAP), LGU mandates
and current thrusts of the national and local government
for project ideas and objectives
THE LCCAP FORMULATION PROCESS
Planning, Prioritization and Budgeting
 Enhance the objectives of the sectors (social, economic,
infrastructure, environmental and institutional) by re-stating
the current objectives or create additional objectives that
would address the identified vulnerabilities and risks from
projected climate hazards

 Check with the list of PPAs and legislations as stated in the

CLUP, CDP & ELA, and then refer to the result of the VAA
and Risk Analysis to determine what climate change options
you want to implement in the short, medium and long term
plans which should include program, project and policy
actions to reduce LGU’s vulnerability, develop its adaptive
capacity and to build its overall resilience to climate change.
THE LCCAP FORMULATION PROCESS
Planning, Prioritization and Budgeting
 Although priority is given to the identification of the
adaptation options, it is also strongly suggested to identify
mitigation options to help reduce carbon footprints of the
LGU and communities and contribute to the efforts of
reducing our impact to the world’s climate.

 Prioritize programs, projects and activities and identify

appropriate timeline for each, then recommend policies that
would enable the implementation of the prioritized
adaptation and mitigation options.
•
THE LCCAP FORMULATION PROCESS
Planning, Prioritization and Budgeting
 LGU may opt to use an alternative set of criteria for
prioritizing adaptation and mitigation options.

 A comprehensive cost-benefit analysis that also considers

indirect costs and benefits, non-monetary values and
externalities or other tools can also be used for prioritizing
options.

 Mainstream or incorporate the identified priority actions and

policies in existing mandated LGU Plans and Investment
Programs
THE LCCAP FORMULATION PROCESS
Planning, Prioritization and Budgeting
 In case the LCCAP Team decides to also create a stand-
alone plan on CCA that can be used in proposal writing or
project development for fund sourcing, the group must use
the prescribed format of the potential funding source or
agency or make use of this narrative plan template in writing
their Local Climate Change Action Plan.
 LOCAL CLIMATE CHANGE ACTION PLAN
