CHANGE STRATEGY FOR CLIMATE CHANGE

ƒ Make it a goal ƒ Ordain policies (including budget) ƒ Execute programs and projects ƒ Build institutions

OVERARCHING GOVERNING PHILOSOPHY OF ALBAY

ƒ Strong on Economy ƒ Strong on Education ƒ Strong on Environment ƒ Strong on Ethics

DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY

ƒ Albay Mabuhay (economic strategy)

ƒ Albay May Buhay (social development)

ƒ Albay May Hanapbuhay (socio-economic plan)

ALBAY STRATEGY

ALBAY MABUHAY- is our central economic strategy. These are strategic initiatives to grow the economy including Daraga International Airport and Eco-Cultural Tourism. • Our provincial goal is redefined as “climate-proof, disaster proof development. • Development is operationally defined by adopting UN Millennium Development Goals and improvement in Human Development Index. • Action on Climate Change and Disaster Risk Reduction (CRR/DRR) are embedded into the central economic strategy; not as an afterthought or as contingency.

GREEN AND DECENT JOBS

What is CIRCA? CIRCA seeks to mainstream interventions on climate change through institutional memory. It is a living research and training institution, of its “Albay in Action on Climate Change (A2C2)” program by strengthening capacity for research, training, project and program implementation in progressive sustainable agriculture, forestry, fisheries, energy and eco-cultural tourism.

This is in partnership with the Bicol University, one of the most prestigious state universities in the Bicol region, the Environmental Management Bureau of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources-Region V (EMB-DENR) and the Albay in Action on Climate Change (A2C2) of the Provincial Government of Albay (PGA) in collaboration with the World Agroforestry Centre.

CIRCA Strategic Guidelines

Grounded action Living research and training Problem solving / solutions oriented Research based Knowledge community based Interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary Multi-stakeholders Functional linkages (teamwork)

What is the role of CIRCA? The main OBJECTIVE of the CIRCA is to enhance the “Ability to Cope” of Albay residents in particular and Filipinos in general to climate risks brought about by a changing climate. The Seventh-Point Agenda: 1. Enhance awareness of the various sectors on the threats by a changing climate; 2. Develop academic curriculums for climate change adaptation in all schools, colleges and universities and mainstream them in educational institutions in the province; 3. Enhance the capabilities of farmers and fisher folks to adapt to climate change;

What is the role of CIRCA?

4. Promote climate risk adaptation by enhancing resilience of the most vulnerable groups; 5. Enhance the interdisciplinary knowledge-base of the province on climate change adaptation; 6. Conduct and explore concrete policy studies that will support better climate risk adaptation; and 7. Initiate and support mitigation projects in the province of Albay

Policy and Governance Direction

anthropogenic and environmental adaptation efforts of CIRCA for the benefit of the present and future generations up to the 7th generations; programs aimed to improve the social, environmental, economic, and eco-cultural status of the communities involved in the program; active involvement and genuine participation of the community in the development and implementation of curricula, researches, strategies, technologies, management plans, programs, projects and approaches that promote climate change adaptation; and research, training and systematic observation, formulation, implementation, reporting and institutionalization of appropriate plans, programs, policies and institutional mechanisms to adapt to climate change, variability and extremes through private and public partnerships initiatives.

THE CHALLENGE

For both national and local governments, the current challenge lies in finding innovative ways to provide initial funds and resources for local climate adaptation, especially for modelling DRR and CRR in Albay and replicating it in other provinces throughout the country.
