ALBAY STRATEGY

ALBAY MABUHAY- is our central economic strategy. These are strategic initiatives to grow the economy including DaragaInternational 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.

Potential Impacts of Climate Change

on MDGs

Potential Impacts of Climate Change on UN-MDGs

UN-MDGs Potential Impacts of Climate Change

1. Eradicate extremepoverty and hunger

Objectives:

Reduce by half the proportion of people living on less than a dollar a day;Reduce by half the proportion of people who suffer from hunger; andEliminate corruption and push for good governance.

Climate Change is predicted to:

1. More degrade the forests, fish, pastures, and crop land that many poor families depend on for their food and livelihood;

2. Damage poor people’s home, water supply and health, which will undermine their ability to earn a living; and

3. Exacerbate social tensions over resources use, which can lead to conflict, destabilising livelihoods and forcing communities to migrate.

ALBAY MAY HANAPBUHAY-Socio-economic Plan: livelihood programs and agriculture, forestry and fisheries support.

Cooperative & Livelihood DevelopmentLivelihood assistance

• Cooperative Promotion, Organization and Development

• Livelihood Development

• Employment Assistance Services

• Non-Formal Education Skills Training and Development Project (PGA-TESDA)

• Project Planning, Monitoring & Evaluation

2. Achieve universal primary education

Objective:

Ensure that all boys and girls complete a full course of primary schooling.

Climate Change could undermine children’s ability to attend school.

1. More children are likely to be taken out of school to help fetch water, care for ill relatives, or help earn an income;

2. Illness and malnourishment among children could reduce their school attendance, and impair their learning when they are in class; and

3. Floods, mudslides, super typhoons destroy school buildings, and force permanent migration.

3. Promote gender equity and empower women

Objective:

Eliminate gender disparity in primary and secondary education preferably by 2005, and at all levels by 2015.

Climate Change is expected to exacerbate current gender inequalities:

1. Women tend to depend more on the natural environment for their livelihoods than men do; and

2. Women and girls are typically the ones to fetch water, and often food. In times of climate stress, they must cope with fewer resources and a greater workload.

UN-MDGs Potential Impacts of Climate Change4,5,6. Reduce child

mortality, improvematernal health andcombat major diseases

Objectives:Reduce by two thirds the mortality rate among children under live;Reduce by half the proportion of people who suffer from hunger;Reduce by the three quarters the maternal mortality ratio;

Halt and begin to reverse the spread of HIV/AIDS; andHalt and begin to reverse the incidence of malaria and other major diseases.

Climate Change will lead to more deaths and illness due to heat-waves, mudslides, floods, droughts, and super typhoons.

1. Increase the prevalence of diseases spread by mosquitoes (such as malaria and dengue fever) or spread in water (such as cholera and dysentery). Children, youth and pregnant women are vulnerable to these diseases; and

2. Expected to reduce the quality and quantity of clean & safe drinking water, exacerbate malnutrition among children and elderly .

7. Ensure environmental sustainabilityObjectives:

Integrate the principles of sustainable development into country;Reduce by half the promotion of people without sustainable access to safe drinking water;Achieve significant improvement in the lives of at least 100 million slum dwellers by 2020;

Develop further an open trading and financial system that is rule-based, predictable and non-discriminatory. Includes a commitment to governance, development and poverty reduction-nationally and internationally; and

Address the least developed countries special needs. This includes tariff-and quota free access for their exports: enhanced debt relief for heavily indebted poor countries: cancellation of official development assistance for countries committed to poverty reduction.

Climate Change will alter the quality and productivity of natural resources and ecosystems. These changes will also reduce bio-cultural diversity and compound existing environmental degradation.



Food for Work Program

ADOPT-A-CREEK / RIVER PROGRAM with FOOD FOR WORK


8. Develop Global PartnershipObjectives:

Address the special needs of landlocked and small islands to help preserve bio-cultural diversity;Deal comprehensively with developing countries debt problems through national and international measures to make debt sustainable in the long term;In cooperation with the developing countries, develop decent and productive work for youth;

In cooperation with pharmaceutical companies, provide access to affordable essential drugs in developing countries; andIn cooperation with the private sector, make available the benefits of new technologies especially information and communications technologies.

Encourage government to engage its bilateral and multilateral partners in additional demand ODA towards programs on Climate Change Adaptation particularly in land and water use, land use change and forestry, in reducing emissions from deforestation and degradation (REDD).

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 theAlbay in Action on Climate Change (A2C2) of the Provincial Government of Albay (PGA) in collaboration with the World Agroforestry Centre.

What is CIRCA?

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

CIRCA Strategic Guidelines

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

What is the role of CIRCA?

BU PolanguiComprehensive will lead on Energy Adaptation

ADAPTATION STRATEGIES

Impacts and Adaptation

anthropogenic and environmental adaptation efforts of CIRCA for the benefit of the present and future generations up to the 7th generations;

Developmentprograms aimed to improve the social, environmental, economic, and eco-cultural status of the communities involved in the program;

Quality and Outreach

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

Policy and Governance

Direction

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.

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.
