The Center for Local and Regional Governance (CLRG) of the University of the Philippines-National College of Public Administration and Governance (UP-NCPAG) conducted its “2nd Seminar-Workshop for Crafting Climate Change Adaptation Measures and Strategies” on 26-30 March 2012 at UP-NCPAG’s Audio-Visual Room. Nineteen participants from 11 municipalities attended the training program. Topics were about climate change, adaptation, disaster risk reduction, vulnerability assessment, financing adaptation plans, and mainstreaming of climate change to local development plans. At the end of the workshops, they were able to draw hazard maps, identified vulnerable areas and sectors in their municipalities, pinpoint the strengths and weaknesses of their local governments to respond to climate change hazards and disasters, and draw up climate change adaptation plans. Speakers came from the Climate Change Commission, Mines and Geosciences Bureau, Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology, Center for Disaster Preparedness, Department of Finance, Transcend EPCS, Municipality of Opol, and UP-NCPAG. The next training is scheduled in June 2012. Please contact Miss Cely Jamig of CLRG at 928-3914, 925-7422 or her e-mail address (cljamig@yahoo.com)for details or registration.
