CCC commends Pangasinan for 100% climate action plan
THE Climate Change Commission (CCC) commended Pangasinan for its comprehensive resilience strategies and integrated approach to environmental sustainability as well as disaster preparedness and risk reduction.
Citing the 100% Local Climate Change Action Plan (LCCAP) submission of the province and its 44 municipalities, CCC Executive Director Robert A. E. Borje said, “When we talk about hazards, exposure, vulnerability and capacity, we must see them not just as challenges but as part of a strategic game plan, an investment in community resilience.”
Ret. Col. Rhodyn Oro, the Provincial Disaster and Risk Reduction Management Office (PDRRMO) head, presented the province’s key initiatives, including Project PARAAN, a risk assessment survey that evaluates community vulnerability to natural hazards.
The Green Canopy program was also presented, and a panel discussion was conducted on various initiatives, including the province’s plan to establish the Estanza Native Tree Nursery and Project Kasilyas.
“No stone is left unturned in our disaster risk reduction management,” Gov. Ramon Guico III said. (PIMRO/RFR)
