Appreciating key concepts and terms

 Key concepts and terms

Climate change
- Attributed directly or indirectly to human
activity that alters the composition of the
global atmosphere, in addition to natural
climate variability observed over comparable
time periods.

PFCC Toolkit, UN-Habitat, 2014 (modified)

 Key concepts and terms

Exposure
What changes can already be observed, what will the climate be like in
the future: What, Where, Who, How Many
- considers both current and projected changes based on a review of
historic and current climate information (e.g. precipitation,
temperature, extreme weather events) and projected climate
scenarios.
- Identifies climate change hazards associated with the change
(drought, flooding, sea level rise, increased frequency in storms),

PFCC Toolkit, UN-Habitat, 2014 (modified)

 Key concepts and terms

Sensitivity
The degree to which exposed people, places, institutions
and sectors are impacted, either positively or negatively,
by climate change. It considers the socio-economic
context of the system being assessed.

“to what degree will the exposed systems be significantly

affected by projected changes in climate?”

PFCC Toolkit, UN-Habitat, 2014 (modified)

 Key concepts and terms

Adaptive capacity
The degree to which people, places,
institutions and sectors are able to adapt to
climate change impacts.
- Typically indicates socio-economic and
environmental factors and local realities that
enable a city or community to adjust its system.
- May include climate conditions to become new
opportunities

PFCC Toolkit, UN-Habitat, 2014 (modified)

 Key concepts and terms

Vulnerability
The degree to which people, places, institutions
and sectors are susceptible to, and unable to
cope with, climate change impacts and hazards
(modified from PFCC Toolkit, UN-Habitat, 2014).

PFCC Toolkit, UN-Habitat, 2014 (modified)

 Key concepts and terms

Impact
An effect of climate change on the structure or
function of a city or town: multi-sectoral (modified
from PFCC Toolkit, UN-Habitat, 2014).

PFCC Toolkit, UN-Habitat, 2014 (modified)

 Key concepts and terms

Risk
Potential loss of life , injury or destroyed/damaged
assets which could occur to a system, society or a
community in a specific period of time.
- Determined probabilistically as a function of hazard,
exposure, vulnerability and capacity.
UN-ISDR
 Key concepts and terms

Adaptation
- The adjustments in ecological, social, or economic systems in response
to actual or expected climatic stimuli and their effects or impacts.

- Changes in processes, practices and structures to moderate potential

damages or to benefit from opportunities associated with climate
change.

- Does not mean that the negative impacts will be avoided, only that they
will be less destructive if planning had occurred.

PFCC Toolkit, UN-Habitat, 2014 (modified)

 Key concepts and terms

Mitigation
Activities that help to reduce the rate or
magnitude of climate change by reducing
human-generated greenhouse gas emissions or
land use practices that contribute to climate
change (modified from PFCC Toolkit, UN-Habitat, 2014).

PFCC Toolkit, UN-Habitat, 2014 (modified)

Adaptation results in
building resilience and
Mitigation results in
lowering or sequestering
greenhouse gas
emission.

PFCC Toolkit, UN-Habitat, 2014 (modified)

 Key concepts and terms

Mainstreaming
The process by which climate risks are considered in city
plans, programs, activities and policies, and by which
adjustments are made to address the risks.
- helps to ensure that an LGU plans and policies are not at
odds with climate risks now and in the future (modified from
PFCC Toolkit, UN-Habitat, 2014).

 Module A
Getting Ready for LCCAP Formulation

Two steps in Module A

Step 1: Getting Started
- Look into current profiles as well as available data
- Determine possible hindrances and existing gaps in the
formulation process.

Step 2: Stakeholder Participation

- Guides LGUs in identifying the core team who will be
working on the project and the stakeholders and
institutions that can provide support
 Key questions that can
better guide LGUs in
completing Module A

Step Key Questions

1. Getting Started 1. Available data that LGUs can use, who can help
2. Possible gaps and limitations that be encountered
3. How LCCAP can be better communicated

2. Stakeholder 1. Who needs to be involved

Participation 2. What institutions can support and how?
3. How can the province support the training and
coaching?
 Step 1: Getting Started
Why is this Step important?

Setting LCCAP formulation:

- LGUs must be able to understand scientific and technical

information and evaluate its capacity and resources.

- Will help LGUs understand the planning requirements and

determine the appropriate approach in integrating
LCCAP into mandated plans like CLUP and CDP.
 Module A
Step 1. Getting Started

What are the Tasks

Involved?
Task 1.1 Orientation and drawing
commitments
Task 1.2 Organizing the LCCAP Core Team
Task 1.3 Initiating the planning process

 Step 1 TOOLS
TOOL 1-B. Situating the LCCAP in the LGU Plans:
Process Check/Guide

To prevent overlapping of processes that will require too much time,

resource and effort, this step facilitates the LGU assessment on how to
mainstream the LCCAP (and even its LDRRMP) into the CLUP and the CDP.

Session Guide : 1 to 2 hours

Procedure : Sit-down meeting among the core TWG members to
determine how the CLUP and CDP may be enhanced using a
risk-sensitive approach espoused by VRA (CDRA).
 Step 1 TOOLS
TOOL 1-C. Re-visiting the LGU Vision

 A half-day session among relevant technical units of the LGU is

adequate to revisit the LGU vision.

Development Descriptors Success Indicators Adaptation and

Sector Mitigation Indicators
Economic Progressive Increased delivery of social services
Decreased incidence of poverty

Financially stable LGU as shown by

increased net equity (difference
between assets and liabilities)
 Module A
Step 1. Getting Started

What are the Outputs?

 Executive Order creating the core team
 Work plan for LCCAP formulation
 Initial info/contexts about the LGU:
- profile highlighting important information and
details about the LGU
- Geographic/location information
- Demographic trends
- LGU classification and its economic base
 Module A
Getting Ready for LCCAP Formulation

Step 2:
Stakeholder Participation
Step 2: Stakeholder Participation
Mobilizing stakeholders is a key element to improved
governance as it builds local ownership and commitment to
development activities and processes.

In the LCCAP, mobilization of stakeholders is not only crucial in

gathering information, building consensus and conclusions,
and identifying practical solutions but also in delivering and
implementing response actions.
 Module A
Step 2. Stakeholder Participation

Why is this Step important?

The success of LCCAP formulation depends largely on the
commitment of political leadership and the continued engagement
of local stakeholders.

Building ownership and commitment is linked to the entire LCCAP

process, from initiation to monitoring to evaluation.

Identifying the important stakeholders, understanding their

concerns, looking into possible contributions to climate change
planning process and implementation actions they may bring to the
process, and even the risk that they may pose are important
considerations for LCCAP development.
 Module A
Step 2. Stakeholder Participation

What are the Tasks Involved?

This Step involves the following tasks:

Task 2.1 Identification of stakeholders, and

analysis and mapping of their interests;
Task 2.2 Training of the LCCAP Core Team
 Module A
Step 2. Stakeholder Participation

What are the Tools?

TOOL 2-A : Session Guide Stakeholder Analysis and Mapping

- will help identify the offices, institutions, and individuals who will
be involved in the LCCAP formulation, along with their interest,
capacity, role, and influence on the planning process.

- analysis is crucial especially in terms of acquiring the necessary

scientific and technical information needed in the formulation
process.
 What are the Tools?
TOOL 2-A : Session Guide Stakeholder Analysis and Mapping

(List as many as you can, listing local stakeholders first before external stakeholders)
 What are the Tools?
TOOL 2-A : Session Guide Stakeholder Analysis and Mapping
Workshop 2-Ab. Stakeholder Map/Diagram
A stakeholder map or diagram enables the LGU to weigh the influence a
particular stakeholder may have and on the basis of this estimation, decide
on the extent and level of engagement and collaboration with the particular
stakeholder.
