The Climate Change Commission (CCC) provided support to 100 farmers and their families in Paete, Laguna during the holiday season, focusing on building resilience against climate change.
The Climate Change Commission (CCC) conducted an outreach program during the holiday season that benefited 100 farmers and their families in Paete, Laguna province. This initiative is part of the CCC’s ongoing efforts to engage with communities affected by recent typhoons and promote resilience amid the impacts of climate change. Paete, a fourth-class municipality, relies heavily on agriculture for livelihoods, making it particularly vulnerable to climate-related challenges.
One of the key sectors of the National Adaptation Plan (NAP) focuses on agriculture, fisheries and food security. The NAP aims to achieve three key outcomes for agriculture: productive and resilient agriculture and fisheries, conservation of natural resources critical for agriculture and aquaculture, and protection of farmers’ and fisherfolk’s livelihoods amid climate change. The CCC continues to work closely with local governments through the development of Local Climate Change Action Plans (LCCAP) to ensure that farmers and their communities have the resources and knowledge needed to build climate resilience. ‘This holiday season, we are undertaking this outreach program as part of our community-building activities, underscoring the reason for this season. We recognize that our farmers are at the frontline of climate impacts and we hope this outreach program helps ease the burden of those most affected and empower them to not just survive, but thrive,’ said CCC vice chairperson and executive director Robert E.A. Borje. Paete submitted its LCCAP for 2021-2026 and Annual Investment Program (AIP) for 2023 to the CCC in May last year. The LCCAP outlines the LGU’s strategies and actions to address climate change impacts on their community, infrastructure and economy, while the AIP contains the programs, activities, and projects (PAPs) of the LGU, including on climate action
