Mainstreaming Climate Change in National Urban Policies: Dialogue with Local Leaders for Local

Climate Change Actions

September 15, 2016

Background The Philippine Climate Change Act and its ensuing National Climate Change Action Plan (NCCAP) mandates the Local Government Units as frontline institutions in dealing with climate change impacts. In such context, cities and urban centers are expected to play an important role in pursuing resilience and climate change responsiveness through their urban development programmes and projects. In view of such, it is considered by the broader urban sector that an improved National Urban Development and Housing Framework (NUDHF) that integrates climate change and is consistent with the NCCAP as well as the mitigation/low emission goals (currently being developed by government) would help LGUs refine and improve their urban climate response and actions. Governors and Mayors are particularly challenged in pursuing climate-responsive urban development programs and projects given that there is still a need to (1) mainstream climate change into the NUDHF in view of local realities, and (2) vertically align the urban climate change agenda and directions in the NUDHF with local urban climate change needs and requirements. The Philippine government, through the Housing and Land Use Regulatory Board (HLURB), with

the direction of Housing and Urban Development Coordinating Council (HUDCC) is now drafting

the new NUDHF (2016-2026) including the mainstreaming of climate change with support from

UN-Habitat, through the Vertical Integration and Learning on Low Emission Development (V-

LED) project and in partnership with the Philippine Institute of Environmental Planners (PIEP).

The dialogue with Governors and Mayors is anchored on V-LED’s platform of facilitating

discussions among stakeholders to discuss important topics and issues that can empower cities,

municipalities and provinces to act on climate change towards sustainable urban development

and climate-resilient governance.


Participants

Participants are composed of City Mayors, Governor and technical personnel from the local government units, representatives from the HLURB, PIEP, and CCC. The League of Cities of the Philippines (LCP), League of Provinces of the Philippines LPP), League of Municipalities of the Philippines (LMP ) which are co-convenors to this event were also represented.

Format: Discussions, small-group workshops, open forum

The Philippine Climate Change Act and its ensuing National Climate Change Action Plan (NCCAP) mandates the Local Government Units as frontline institutions in dealing with climate change impacts. In such context, cities and urban centers are expected to play an important role in pursuing resilience and climate change responsiveness through their urban development programmes and projects. In view of such, it is considered by the broader urban sector that an improved National Urban Development and Housing Framework (NUDHF)1 that integrates climate change and is consistent with the NCCAP as well as the mitigation/low emission goals (currently being developed by government) would help LGUs refine and improve their urban climate response and actions. Local leaders, however, are particularly challenged in pursuing climate-responsive urban development programs and projects given that there is still a need to (1) mainstream climate change into the NUDHF in view of local realities, and (2) vertically align the urban climate change agenda and directions in the NUDHF with local urban climate change needs and requirements.

Welcome Message by: Cris Rollo

September 15 is International Day of Democracy, which makes the event significant, because

the NUDHF forum is an exercise of democratic responsibility of defining national and local

development. Welcome the LGUs as they are expressions of democratic structure.

The work of UN-Habitat was briefly discussed, as the UN agency mandated to promote socially,

economically and environmentally sustainable towns and cities with the goal of achieving

adequate shelter for all. For the Philippines, there are two areas of work: shelter and urban

development. UN-Habitat is not only working in cities, but also in urbanizing LGUs and in

provinces, recognizing the roles of provinces in setting development directions of its

component LGUs within the province. UN-Habitat has been working in around 50 cities and

towns in the country and the importance of urban development and climate change actions is

recognized.

The NUDHF is the framework of the country that guides urban stakeholders- national and local

governments on how to direct urban development. Urban development is not only about cities

and linkages, but also its integration in the wider context of the region. NUDHF is also

important because this also translates into a framework the New Urban Agenda of the

Philippines. The country has just drafted for finalization in Quito in October 17 the new urban

agenda of the Philippines for the next 20 years. The new urban agenda recognized the

important roles of LGUs in the development of the country, especially their relations to rural

and country development.

UN-Habitat, along with its partners, initiated the focused discussions with local government

units on the NUDHF, how it supports the new urban agenda as well as the country’s support to

the achievement of SDGs. Within the SDGs is SDG 11 which is to achieve inclusive, resilient, safe

and sustainable towns and cities and human settlements.


Significance of NUDHF forum to discussions on urban development:

October is the urban month in the celebration of the UN system. In Urban October, UN,

together with government partners, promote discourse and exchange of ideas on how to

achieve sustainable urban development and achieve a better quality of life in towns and

cities. The celebration starts with World Habitat day on Monday, and ends on World Cities

Day on October 31.

Within October is Habitat III conference in Quito where 193 country-members in the world

will meet to agree on the new urban agenda. The Philippine delegation will be led by the

Vice-President who is also the Chair of the HUDCC to present the new urban agenda of the

country as well as agree with the family of nations on the new urban agenda. Urban issues

are not just the concern of the country.

Cities and countries are inter-connected and people are living in global village- what an LGU

does affects the others and what others affect other LGUs. In the discussion of climate change,

this is more apparent.

UN-Habitat is looking forward to rich discussions on how LGUs contribute to the discussions to

the formulation of the country’s directions, policies, and programs and how doesNUDHF

benefit local governments. In the previous reviews of NUDHF, LGUs were not very involved, so

the event was conducted to ensure that NUDHF is useful and relevant to LGUs.

Welcome Message and Background of NUDHF Commissioner Linda Malenab-Hornilla, HLURB

Thank all those present for honoring the invitation.

Updating the NUDHF would mean better service to the interests of the national government

and the LGUs.

Inputs are very important to come up with an urban development housing framework that will

support LGUs in their quest for urban development. LGUs are primary users of the NUDHF.

HLURB has been tasked to (under RA 7279) craft a NUDHF and because HLURB is under the

HUDCC umbrella. Article 3, Section 6 of UDHA it says HURB will craft the NUDHF with other

agencies, LGUs and private sectors. NUDHF is 6 years to coincide with the PDP. The first NUDHF


was crafted in 1993-1998, and six years thereafter. The current version of 2010-2016 is up for

review due to many urbanization issues and differing climate conditions in the country.

There are new laws that mandate the integration of urban development into the planning

process, thus, there’s a need to integrate the recurring issues that confront urbanization

process like densification, open spaces, mix uses, Central Business District, metropolitanization,

mobility, ISFs, urban heritage preservation and revival. The NUDHF needs to address these

issues plus gender, human rights and other cross-cutting concerns. NGAs are involved because

they have mandates related to urban development. There’s also an ASUD project of UN-Habitat

and the Cities Climate Change Initiatives.

Workshop Objectives by: Reinero Flores

• Present and discuss the draft NUDHF principles and recommended policy actions relative to LGU roles, challenges & opportunities

• Generate feedback and inputs from LGU leaders in making the NUDHF more relevant and climate change-responsive at the local level and

• Identify and clarify next steps for the involvement of LMP, LPP, LCP in the formulation and implementation of the NUDHF

Presentation of the NUDHF Draft: Principles and Policy Action Points (Abridged for Local Leaders) by: Lara Togonon-De Castro: Updates on the NUDHF on the consultations and mainstreaming CC in climate change actions, She cited the legal bases of NUDHF formulation and updating- Republic Act 7279 or Urban Development Housing Act, Art. XIII, Sec. 9 of the Philippine Constitution, the Local Government Code of 1991, and Philippine Laws on climate change and disaster risk management. Anchors of the NUDHF were also mentioned, such as Goal II of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), New Urban Agenda in Habitat III, National Framework for Physical Planning 2001-2030 / 2016-2045.


The matrix below shows the drivers of urbanization that influenced the updating of the NUDHF:

NUDHF 1993-1998 NUDHF 1999-2004 NUDHF 2009-2016 NUDHF 2016-2026 1.Rapid Population Growth

1.Higher birth rate in urban areas

NDHF Assessment Matrices

a. Vision

NUDHF 1993-1998 NUDHF 1999-2004 NUDHF 2009-2016 Urban development shall be carried out in a manner that will realize the national vision of a self-reliant, prosperous and empowered citizenry towards a newly industrialize country status

The overall objective of urbanization should be to develop an urban structure that (i) facilitates economic production, (ii) develops and strengthens local comparative advantages, and (iii) provides all urban residents with an improving quality of life.

The vision for urban development in the Philippines is an urban system that: facilitates economic growth, develops and strengthens local comparative advantages, and significantly improves the quality of life of its residents

systems and forms across scales 4. Urban areas as accessible platforms for social and economic opportunity, cultural

expression, and innovation 5. People’s participation, empowerment and capacity as foundations of urban governance,

facilitating sustainable resource use, planning, management and finance How LGUs will concretize the five principles into local operations is shown in the section on workshop outputs.


Discussions: NUDHF in support of Local Climate Action

a. Mainstreaming CC and Resilience Building in the NUDHF by Laids Mias-Cea, CCC Regional Coordinator Points of discussions:

The effects of urbanization and climate change are converging in dangerous ways as

Urban Centers particularly cities are major contributors to climate change, and cities and towns are heavily vulnerable to climate change.

Drivers of Urban CC Issues and Challenges: - geographical and geophysical characteristics leading to exposure and sensitivity - development gaps (poverty, lack of resources, weakness in policies, etc)

Importance of a National Urban Policy

- A tool that can be used by government in order to direct and control urbanization,

and likewise address climate change

- In order to harness urbanization, mitigate its negative externalities, and promote

good urbanization, there is need for a coordinated approach and clear policy

directions.

- A national urban policy (NUP) is an integral component of UN-Habitat’s strategy for

sustainable urbanization, in particular to address the needs of urbanization in all

types of human settlements, from villages and market towns to the great cities and

megalopolises of the world ( (rooted in the Governing Council resolution

HSP/GC/24/L.6)

National Urban Policy defined

- A coherent set of decisions derived through a deliberate government-led process of

coordinating and rallying various actors for a common goal/vision for the desired

urbanization (e.g. in 20-30-100 years horizon).

- Actors include all the pertinent ministerial departments and the local authorities. It

is important to also involve the urban stakeholders: private sector, civil society

organization, research and academia.

- Provides an overarching coordinating framework to address urban challenges to

maximize the benefits of urbanization, while mitigating potential adverse

externalities including climate change.


Key Principles in NUP process

- Iterative and forward thinking

- Implementable

- Joined-up

- Evidence-Based

- Action Oriented

Sustainable Urban Development Principles Promoted by a NUP

- All actors should be able to relate to the desired patterns of the country and local

governments. Participation is key and participation of local governments should be

the heart of it. When NUDHF is formulated, LGUs should be able to benefit the

development happening in the country

- Everyone should be able to relate its role in a wider region and therefore should

guide LGUs to development. LGUs should not plan according to boundaries, but

consider realities across the whole system- sectors such as agriculture, basic

services, infrastructure must be integrated, connected and translated into the

CLUP, following the principles of NUDHF.

- There must be better connections to mitigate emissions, and more compact so

people can travel while saving time and resources.

- Must be socially inclusive and NUDHF must be helping LGUs to draft a socially-

inclusive land use plans, and human rights-based, which means, everyone has a

right to the city, right to be safe and secure.

- Land use Planning, following the NUDHF must be more climate resilient: how is

agriculture, infrastructures planned considering changes of the climate? NUDHF or

NUP must be reflective of LGU realities


NUP and Climate Actions

- Must be able to promote both adaptation and mitigation. NCCAP has been crafted

and Land Use Planning has been updated. LGUs must be able to synergize and

principles of NUDHF are applied locally. The NUP must be able to influence how local

governments plan to make the cities, towns and provinces safe, resilient, and

sustainable.

Key NUP Features/Elements and CC

- Climate projections must feed into the NUP so that climate vulnerabilities will be identified and appropriate adaptation and mitigation and co-benefits projects will be produced, and Climate Financing and New Technologies will all be considered in the NUDHF and framework direction is reflective of how to sustain urban development.

- Vertical Integration and Learning on Low Emission Development (V-LED), as implemented by UN-Habitat, adelphi research, IKI-BMUB.

- VLED provides a platform to support government in fostering urban resilience and

climate resilient and LED pathways through improved multi-level governance and

KM. It’s facilitating vertical and horizontal integration, with special concerns on

climate change actions- whether LGUs will focus on adaptation or mitigation, V-LED

will facilitate.

- V-LED provides a platform to facilitate discussions on issues on the ground, and

national government agencies sharing with LGUs on what they are doing, such as

NUDHF which is nationally-driven, would be able to reflect LGU requirements and

realities.


b. National CC Action Plan (NCCAP) and the Communities for Resilience (CORE) Programme and the INDC by: Alexis Lapiz, Climate Change Commission Points of discussions: the Communities for Resilience (CORE) Program which is the convergence initiative of the Climate Change Commission. Bases for the CORE program was explained with the National Climate Change Action Plan (NCCAP) as the major driver, which brings forward the factors of adaptation and mitigation in the CORE.

Objectives of the CORE: 1. Build knowledge and adaptive capacities of local communities 2. Upgrade disaster risk resilience of vulnerable communities 3. Optimize mitigation and adaptation 4. Opportunities for sustainable development 5. Strengthen LGU institutional and technical capacities for effective integration into local

development plans

Priority areas for the CORE program are the eighteen major river basins in the country. CORE will promote effective convergence and delivery of capacity building services to LGUs in these areas through synergistic action across agendas at the national and sub national levels. Components of CORE:

1. Natural Resource Accounting (NRA) in Local Climate Change Action Planning (LCCAP) 2. Projections, scenarios, modeling and other outputs of risk assessments to contribute to

the design and content of the LCCAP 3. Increasing community awareness, understanding and learning on the concepts,

practices and linkages of climate change, disaster risks and development 4. Capacity building for reporting, monitoring and evaluating GHG emissions to support in

the identification of adaptation and mitigation actions. 5. Development of menu of adaptation/mitigation measures for the different ecosystems

based on the output of the Climate Disaster Risk Assessment and NRA. 6. Integration of climate change and disaster risk in the existing plan(s) of the LGUs

through participatory approach 7. Development of minimum compliance with the communities and indicators vis-à-vis

the CORE Initiative deliverables to aid in the M&E component

Levels of CORE:

Wave 1: CORE Convergence Forum Wave 2: Training of Trainers (TOT)


Wave 3: Training of LGUs

Updates of CORE:

Wave 1 Seven (7) MRBs were oriented on the CORE program Wave 2 Signed 50 Memorandum of Agreements with State Universities and Colleges for LCCAP

Formulation Wave 3 Coordinated with the Local Government Academy for list of LGUs that have

completed the LCCAP, for consideration in CCC list

Updates: Post- Paris Agreement

Former DFA Secretary Jose Rene D. Almendras outlined the requisites for ratification by the President on the basis of an Instrument of Ratification

Entry into force of the Paris Agreement requires a that at least 55 countries ratify the Paris Agreement and that the total projected emissions of the ratifying countries should account for at least fifty-five percent (55%) of the global emissions

Needed for ratification:

- First requisite: compilation of Certificates of Concurrence (COCs) from the heads of agencies as proof that agencies have vetted the treaty, consulted their legal units, and are fully aware of the new obligations in the Agreement and implications on their mandates

- Letters of support from leaders of CSOs, labor, industry, transport and energy sectors. The certificates will needed when the draft Instrument of Ratification is submitted by the DFA to the Office of the President

- Signed ratification instrument to be transmitted by the President to the Senate for the latter’s concurrence. The Senate will schedule the Paris Agreement to be tabled and discussed in the Plenary

- Climate Change Commission (CCC) as Secretariat to the Cabinet Cluster on Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation (CCCCAM) provided assistance in the adoption of Resolution 2016-002 “Resolution of the Cabinet Cluster on Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation Endorsing and Supporting the Ratification of the Paris Agreement.”


Previously, the Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation Cluster adopted Resolution 2016-002 Recommending that the Philippines to be a Signatory to the Paris Agreement in December 2015.

Open Forum

1. Lala Lanao –

The Municipality is preparing its Executive Legislative Agenda (ELA). It’s coming from a comprehensive

process where it’s expensive, complicated and technically challenging. You have to be a planner to be

able to prepare such planning documents.. On top of that, there’s a need to update our CLUP which is all

the more complicated. There is a need for national government support for us to be able to do it. It was

a good thing that DAR and DSWD were able to help, though, so that we were able to really solicit

community participation and identify priorities of barangay. Still, we are hoping that national

government can also support LGUs by providing the right directions.

Responses:

a. Lara : Thankful to Mayors that planning is considered important in charting the development

directions. The NUDHF hopefully will fuel more interest for LGUs to plan for its development

direction.

b. HLURB (Commissioner Linda):

LGUs are primary users of the NUDHF. LGU inputs are very important to come up with an

urban development housing framework that will support provinces, cities and

municipalities plan better, in your quest for urban development. It’s a good thing that

other agencies in you are supporting you because NGAs are involved in the NUDHF

because they have mandates related to urban development.


2. Sharing of Mayor Eugene Reyes of Guimaras

Conversions from agriculture to residential is happening in many LGUs and we have seen this in

developed regions like CALABARZON, Iloilo and other areas. There is a need for laws on sovereign

systems to be strongly advocated in planning. DILG must be able to include issues such as this in its

requirements for sectoral planning.

3. Atty. Zapatos – General Santos City

Not all cities are on time in updating the CLUPs. How can LGUs plan to mainstream down below the

essence of NUDHF and come up with budget. There’s climate change law on adaptation and mitigation.

yet, political dynamics down are challenging the processes set by the national government. In some

cases, there are national laws that also prevent LGUs to apply the mandates of climate change. It’s easy

to set national guides and advisories, but the hard part is to operationalize or actualize such theories.

Response: HLURB Commissioner Linda Hornilla

The NUDHF Framework serves as a guiding post and national government find its ways to cascade to

local levels as implementation is at the LGU levels. HLURB’s charter- provide technical assistance; does

not included budget to make CLUP, thus, HLURB may find ways to guide LGUs in getting funding for

CLUP preparation. LGUs should also touch base with laws that allow inclusion of CLUP preparation in the

budget. For implementation of climate change actions, LGUs can access the People’s Survival Fund since

climate change is already mainstreamed in the CLUP.

3. Other comments from participants

Spatial and sectoral priorities are dependent on who is in power at LGU level. Many local chief

executives do not see the importance of planning.
