Training for LGUs on climate change action plan continues

LEGAZPI CITY, July 23 (PIA) – Despite the brunt of recent super howler ‘Glenda’ last week that devastated Albay and neigboring provinces, the 3-day training-workshop for the formulation of the Local Climate Change Action Plan (LCCAP) will go on as scheduled starting today until July 25, 2014 at the Hotel Casablanca, this city.

Executive director of service provider Local Climate Change Adaptation for Development (LCCAD, Inc.) and resident trainer for the LCCAP formulation, Nong C. Rangasa, assured the participants that the event has no hassle as the venue is very much ready with its facilities, good supply of water, an ample supply of electricity from its 210-Kilowatt generator set, continuous wi-fi internet, communication and other amenities. The same assurance was issued by the hotel management.

“For this batch (July 23-25, 2014), 11 LGUs have re-confirmed attendance of their delegates from the different municipalities of the provinces mostly from the northern regions of the Philippines,” Rangasa said, adding that the participants have scheduled their arrivals as early as Tusday, July 22, a day before the start of the training-workshop.

The LCCAP document is listed (number 16) in the array of requirements for the Seal of Good Local Governance (SGLG) Award to be given by the Department of the Interior and Local Govenrment (DILG) Central Office for Disaster Risk Reduction and Management, among others.

The training workshop is a highly technical writing capacity building for LGUs to come up with their respective Local capacity assessment framework, climate change sectoral vulnerability assessment, undertake anticipatory adaptation measures, contingency plans  and LCCAP document.
