Enhancing the Climate Change Adaptation Capacity of Local Government Units and Scientists in the Philippines

The project was designed primarily for awareness raising, capacity building and institutional development. The local government units (LGUs) and state colleges and universities (SCUs) partners applied the concepts and methods presented in the awareness raising seminar in assessing vulnerability of the study sites to climate change impacts, the results of which served as basis in preparing the Indicative Climate Change Adaptation Plan (ICCAP). The project’s outcome indicates that: 1) LGU-SCU-community alliance in science-based climate change adaptation planning is feasible; 2) the project interventions can be instituted in local development program; and 3) hands-on and output-oriented interventions can yield tangible results.
