Inception/Stakeholders Workshop and Dialogue Event on Climate Actions for Low Emission Development
Tools, Processes, Challenges, Opportunities and Way Forward
Oakwood Ortigas, December 7-8, 2015
1. Two-Day Workshop Objectives Adelphi and UN-Habitat Philippines conducted a two-day inception workshop in Ortigas City last
December 7-8, 2015. The workshop’s aims were:
1. To scan and discuss low emission development initiatives at the global, national and local levels; and
2. Identify areas of work especially on capacity development that would support scaling up current LED
projects as well as initiate new support initiatives
2. DAY ONE: Welcome Remarks
Mr. Cristopher E. Rollo
Programme Manager, UN-Habitat Philippines
Mr. Christopher Rollo opened the event by welcoming the participants. He expressed that the biggest
challenge now is climate change. This has to be addressed through adaptation and mitigation and
understanding the interface or nexus of both. Urbanization contributes largely to the climate change
condition. However, urbanization, if managed well, can also become an opportunity to create resilient
communities. The challenge is to harness these through the opportunities made available by the
government, the institutions and other organizations directly involved in the process.
Mr. Michael Hasper
Deputy Head of Mission, German Embassy
Deputy Michael Hasper explained Germany’s involvement in climate change mitigation and in the
implementation of the V-LED project in the Philippines. Due to the ill effects of climate change, global
communities need to work closely together and set out ambitious targets to mitigate climate change.
7
That is why Germany committed itself to mitigate by reducing its greenhouse gas (GHG) emission by
40% by 2030. From 2008 up to 2014, Germany had implemented 450 projects related to mitigation.
Germany now supports international initiatives and provided funds to green climate fund amounting to
4 Billion Euros. Part of this initiative is implementing the V-LED project, through the IKI-BMUB in the
Philippines, which is one of the countries that are most affected by climate change- related disasters.
CECILIA ALBA
Secretary General, HUDCC
Secretary Alba expressed her gratitude for the opening of the events: the inception workshop and dialogue events on Vertical Integration and Learning for Low Emission Development or V-LED project being supported by the International Climate Initiative (IKI) of the German Government’s Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB) that is being implemented in the Philippines through the partnership of Adelphi Research based in Germany and UN-Habitat as well as the Philippine Government.
She explained that as HUDCC exercise its functions and coordinative actions toward sustainable urban development in the county, we acknowledge the need to sharpen our lens on climate change by ensuring that our local shelter planning processes, policies and actions already includes responsiveness to climate change and risk resilience realities on the ground. Such action would highly relevant to SDG 11 that seeks to “make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable”.
We believe that it is important to integrate low emission development strategies and agenda into our national urban policies. We fully note the studies and research from the UN that most carbon emissions are coming from the urban sector or cities, hence making them key culprit to our climate change problem – But let me state that we also agree that the urban sector and cities can be the venue for identifying and implementing the solutions we all need. Given that, there is a need to establish dynamic vertical policy coordination mechanisms and complementary actions between the national and local governments.
For this, HUDCC is happy to accept the challenge of chairing the V-LED project. I hope that my agency, together with all members of the PSC and all other partners and the cities present today and tomorrow can come together and align our efforts. I know that much is happening at the local level related to adaptation, but not much on mitigation. Perhaps it is time to purposely use the co-benefits of mitigation actions to further achieve our adaptation and resilience goals.
As the programme design states, today is the inception workshop and tomorrow is the dialogue event. I hope we could all use this opportunity to start the bridging of actions and efforts horizontally, meaning across government agencies and development partners, and vertically – not only from the national to local but also from the local government to national government. That I say because I believe that there
8
learnings and knowledge from the local authorities already on climate change actions that could enlighten our national programming.
She hoped that the knowledge exchange and sharing of information benefit us all in achieving “inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable cities and human settlements” in the light of a new urban agenda.
3. Over-All Project and Good Practices on Adaptation/Mitigation Nexus at
Urban Level
JOHARA BELLALI
Senior Programme Manager, Adelphi
Ms. Johara Bellali oriented the inception workshop participants on Adelphi as an organization. Adelphi
is a German research institute concerned with the sustainability of the environment as a foundation to
urbanresilience . Adelphi’s work has three main components: Research, Consultation and Dialogue.
The work is moving towards low-emission development. The motivation for these are: people are
asking for change and binding agreements and actions to respond to:. are:
1) High risks of many nations to disaster and countries are thinking of energy security 2) High carbon developments that developed countries are worried to be locked in 3) A huge recognition that local governments are actors (doers) in the process of transition
What is LED or Low Emission Development?
Ms. Johara explained further that LED clearly links adaptation and mitigation as it strongly focuses on
economic and social development, developing actions and engaging stakeholders in these actions.
Some mechanisms can be voluntary by using awareness building or labeling; regulatory by using
building codes and regulations on vehicle emissions; and (Quantity LED Instruments such as green
certificates.
Ms. Bellali said that people are used to adaptation so she shared examples how mitigation can come in
development efforts and examples on how to bring together adaptation and mitigation.
1) Use co-benefits
It is usual that cities would undergo the VAA, identify hotspots, present adaptation options and prioritize
actions. Mitigation comes in when adaptation options are looked at and LED alternatives are identified.
9
Examples were provided: In flood zone hotspots, there is a need to provide drainage systems, better
run-off and increase infiltration into the ground. Mitigation co-benefit would mean providing more
green spaces to increase infiltration loads. This also maximize the infiltration] of water coming down,
provides a cooling effect and reduces heat waves or heat islands around the city.
2) Ecosystem-based Approach
A second approach to bring adaptation and mitigation is the ecosystem-based approach. Lami, Fiji is
threatened by the effects of sea level rise. To increase their adaptation, they looked into pure ecological
adaptation or engineering adaptation options. Engineering options consist of building a dike, building
channels and drainage system which is very costly. The project promoted the joint approache
(ecological and engineering). They made a bigger emphasis on forestation of the mangrove forest and
strengthened the drainage with larger pipes.
3) Sectoral Approach
The sectoral approach considers how various sectors can work together to mitigate and how these
mitigation actions benefit these sectors such as the transport and water sectors. Improving quality of life
is important and this needs the inter-sectoral approach to mitigation.
There are three ways to promote this approach:
1) Use of standards - such as developing and implementation of standards on resilient infrastructure 2) CEDRIG Handbook – This is a SWISS handbook that integrates climate risk, risk proofing and impacts
into environmental programmes 3) Labelling tools - these are tools widely used in Europe; an example is the European Union energy
award process that promotes reduction of energy consumption in a city Other German examples used during sectoral approach are voluntary initiatives, raising awareness,
encouraging exchanges and anchor climate action. Through the national climate initiative, three clear
ways were used to push the sectoral approach:
1) Invest - encourage business sectors to invest in local climate action; get funds from emission trading schemes
2) Motivate – stimulate a change in bahavior 3) Advice - provide technical assistance and advice from various agencies. Example: provide technical
advice on how to use waste water treatment that integrates mitigation
Ms. Bellali also shared Quick Facts about the V-LED project. The three year (2015-2018) V-LED project is
being implemented in four countries in Africa and Asia. It aims to:
strengthen national and sub-national capacities for climate resilient low-emission development
provide training, guidelines, toolkits, vertical dialogues within a country and region
provide platform for horizontal exchanges of good practices between local government units to inspire each other and help the others go forward; these exchanges help build capacities overtime
Adelphi also promotes applied research—determining how we will implement actions, determine what governance coordination mechanisms are best to bring climate action.

DR. MARCUS ANDREAS
Adelphi
To support the discussions of Johara, Marcus briefly discussed Germany’s view on the importance local
governments’ role in driving transformation. Ass an example of Germany’s national climate initiative,
the nation supports international conferences on local climate action. Adelphi organized dialogues
among participants in all levels to change perspectives towards mitigation and to remove turfing.
Marcu s explained about an activity that was conducted, as the Fail Forward session where different
stakeholders talk about difficult challenges related to climate change and mitigation. Last October 2015,
during the International Conference on Climate Action in Germany, panel discussions were held. Various
participants like scientists, ministers, environmental ministers and environment activists and support -
organizations were dared to look at failures. They were encouraged to speak about what is not working,
bring up challenges and address the difficult issues. This was one of the most cherished workshops
during the conference. The participants expressed the need for more dialogues to promote mitigation
and drive transformation. Adelphi hopes to carry this spirit over into the V-LED project here in Manila.
UN-Habitat Global Initiatives on LEDS, Urban Climate Resilience and V-LED in
the Philippines
Ma. Adelaida Antonette Mias-Cea
CCCI Regional Coordinator for the Asia and the Pacific , UN-Habitat
Ms. Laids Mias-Cea shared the background of UN-Habitat efforts towards climate change resilience. UN-
Habitat’s engagement with climate change initiative began in 2009. This engagement is based on climate
change resolutions that encourages everyone to support climate change efforts. This initiative also
supports sustainable cities programme. UN-Habitat programmes sees cities and urban areas as part of
the solution to problems brought by urbanization. High risk areas are entry points for solutions.
The Cities and Climate Change Initiative (CCCI) was piloted in Sorsogon City in 2009. Sorsogon City was
able to integrate climate change action in city plans and share practices. As part of continuous learning
11
[of the local government], the project implemented capacity development and use of good Knowledge
Management practices. The new strategy for the Asia and the Pacific is to focus on building resilience.
Globally, [UN-Habitat was involved in the] Urban LEDS (ULEDS) project was implemented with ICLEI. This
was funded by EU. The three year project implemented in India and Indonesia, ended last August (2015).
Now the project now concentrates in Vietnam and the Philippines.
Urban LEDS have five key actions: (1) model city sharing where cities are key actors and developers of
processes, (2) city to city exchange, (3) capacity building, (4) GHG inventory capacity building linking
them to solutions and actions, and (5) real dialogues.
The role of UN-Habitat is administrative, consultancy and technical adviser. The implementing agency
was ICLEI.
Now we are moving into V-LED. We harness learning from ULEDS and from global experiences to
strengthen national and subnational in policies and action. ULEDS focus more on communications and
joint partnerships while V-LED brings in the vertical and horizontal dialogues. This is not just promote
city to city exchanges but also exchanges between development partners as well as government
(agencies) to government sharing as well.
The expected results are as follows: (1) Policy coordination, (2) learning exchanges, (3) contribute to
national climate resilient low carbon targets, (4) documentation from stakeholders exchanges, (5)
systematic KM to disseminate lessons. There are potentials to pilot projects in cities. Though this
project is not offering this, other UN-Habitat efforts can extend to support this initiative if the group
feels it is important.
Ms. Cea urged the participants to share how these expected results can be achieved. Through
workshops, the participants were encouraged to give their inputs and feedbacks to climate
mainstreaming guides and manuals. These workshops we will also know how various agencies or
organizations can work best together and know what needs to be improved with what we have [in
relation to climate change actions].

4. Rapid Assessment of Related Efforts: Capacity Building on LEDS
PRISCELLA MEJILLANO
UN-Habitat Philippines V-LED Project Coordinator
Mapping of LED-Related Efforts
Ms. Ngen Mejillano presented a rapid assessment of LED-
related efforts for participants’ validation. She explained that through this project, UN-Habitat would
like to align its normative support to the government. The rapid assessment of related efforts on
capacity building on LEDS was done in the following premise:
Agencies and institutions have current efforts on capacitating their clients, including LGUs on LED and mainstreaming mitigation actions into national agenda. Not all agencies were covered in the cursory review.
These efforts are translated in several ways: into guides, advisories, capacity building programme, structured academic discussions, assessment tools, GhG accounting and inventories , etc.
Specific efforts are implemented either through joint partnerships or independently and there are expressions of enhancing processes and expanding partnerships.
Ms. Mejillano presented efforts by the Climate Change Commission (CCC), DENR-EMB/CCO, NEDA,
HUDCC, HLURB and DILG.
For DILG efforts, there is a need to revisit and update its planning guides and re-visit the Joint
government Memorandum Circulars (JMCs) related to harmonization of CLUP and CDP preparation as
well as the synchronization and harmonization of planning and budgeting processes. Reviewing these
existing policies would clarify the tools and mechanisms to adaptation and mitigation which can be
integrated in the Local Climate Change Action Plans (LCCAP) or into the CLUP as the comprehensive
spatial plan then transcend to the multi-sectoral plan which is the CDP and eventually cull out the
adaptation and mitigation actions with identified resources to form an LCCAP. She also presented the
UNDP Poverty Initiative and Local Government Academy’s (LGA) which work is to guide Local CC Action
Planning and build capacities of national and sub-national trainers as well as LGUs on LCCAP
formulation. LGA has just rolled out the LCCAP to various local government units and as a mandated
document, LGA field offices of DILG are currently extending technical support to local government units
in the region on the LCCAP preparation. It was noted that a DILG Memorandum Circular was also issued
by DILG to support the preparation of the LCCAP, .
Other mitigation and LEDS-related efforts included in the mapping are from the CCC, DENR-EMB/CCO,
13
Questions related to CCC’s efforts are the following: Do we have base lines that we can use in planning?
Can local governments actively participate in inventories with industries in their localities?
Questions related to LGA’s efforts are: Will there be online courses for mayors and technical staff to be
offered by LGA? How will the LGU bring the trainings and climate change actions to the household
level? Other LED-related efforts presented were that of : HLURB, HUDCC, DENR, DPWH and LCP.
5. GIZ Cooperation Landscape: Climate Change Commission
VOLTAIRE ACOSTA
Senior Advisor, GIZ
The Organization and Programmes
Mr. Voltaire Acosta of GIZ gave a background on its work. GIZ
South East Asia and the Pacific Department works in 20 countries. German Development Cooperation
was founded in the Philippines in 1961 based on government agreements. The BMUB- IKI program of
GIZ focuses on climate change and bio-diversity. The chunk of GIZ portfolio is urban development and
climate change.
GIZ implemented climate change adaptation and mitigation projects are:
Support to the political and regulatory framework on pro-poor insurance markets in Asia (RFPI Asia)
where capacities of low income population, such as farmers, are enhanced to manage risks. They
and their properties are also provided access to insurances.
Promotion of Green Economic Development (ProGED) that enhances capacities of the private
sectors from micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs)in integrating climate change adaptation
and mitigation in their operations
Protected Area Management Enhancement in the Phiippines (PAME) promotes the protection and
management of key biodiversity areas and SSMEs that promotes trans-boundary spatial planning,
conservation of bio-diversity and livelihoods
Other efforts are focused on preservation of forests, support in the implementation of REDD+
Support the Climate Change Commission (CCC)in shaping and implementing International Climate
Change Regime with five (5) components
o Implementation of national climate change policy
o Climate-smart planning and economic development at local level
o Climate finance
o Renewable energy and energy planning
o Knowledge management and networking
14
There are also transport-related efforts that supports the governments’ efforts to reduce GHG of
vehicles and transport sector
Challenges that GIZ encountered in the integration of LEDS at the local level: Mainstreaming mitigation
and LEDS in local plans
Coordination of LGUs and allotment of climate budget tagging and tracking
Enhancing the coordination between the local and national levels and emphasizing co-benefits
Designing and implementing LEDS that cross-cuts different levels and sectors
Translating “carbon” into something practical, understood and appreciated by constituents including
farmer, students or fisherfolks
6. OPEN FORUM The comment made during the open forum was given by Mr. Cris Rollo of UN-Habitat. He suggested that
when the project map out the LED initiatives, it is important to point out the urban lens in many of these
comprehensive programmes. There is also a need to include human settlements that are considered
catalysts of growth in terms of towns and municipalities.
7. WORKSHOP 1 At the end of the first workshop, the participants shared and discussed their efforts related to capacity
building on mitigation actions. Each group discussed related works, common challenges and related
collaborations. The tables below show the results of the discussions of the three (3) groups.
Common Challenges among Various Agencies
Based on the discussions by various agencies, here are the most common challenges they are facing:
Lack of tools for measurements or accounting
Lack of guidelines, baselines, data base and difficulties in data collection especially at the local level
Need for simplified guidelines (e.g. checklists, templates) or practical ways that constituents can
mitigate; green building codes
Need to sustain efforts in climate change actions due to lack of funds
Lack of technical staff in LGUs that are knowledgeable and capable on developing and implementing
climate change actions
Need to enhance the knowledge and capacities of LGUs and local chief executives on mitigation
Need for platform for information sharing (best practices)
Need for collaboration and gain access to capacity building, services/programmes by other agencies
or organizations)

needs to learn more internally
(b) HORIZONTAL – agencies shared the needed partnerships in terms of programs, advocacies, technical
assistance, others
(c) NATIONAL TOWARDS LOCAL – discuss what the national agencies can share to local governments, to
effect vertical linkage
(d) LOCAL TO NATIONAL – discuss LEDS knowledge and efforts can be shared by the local government
to national agencies
Questions discussed by each group:
1. From challenges and gaps, how can they be addressed? 2. In terms of own institutions, what are particular activities that can be done 3. In terms of the partners, what are activities that they can collaborate 4. What are LEDS- related efforts that can be linked horizontally? 5. What are LEDS related efforts that can be linked vertically?

Additional Points During the Plenary Discussions
Use the church and civil societies to disseminate information on mitigation and LEDS
The government can find ways to give incentives to private companies like San Miguel that are
measuring and acting on their GHG emissions. These incentives should also be applicable to small
and medium enterprises.
DENR can share their knowledge and programme on waste to energy projects
There are several climate actions, like use of sanitary landfill, that has to be addressed not just by
local governments but by clusters of LGUs
A website can be set up to provide links to V-LED implementers
Teaching people and companies about the importance of the environment, advantages of using
LEDS and mitigation while teaching how to use templates or guidelines will not only encourage
compliance. This awareness and appreciation of LEDS will lead to sustainability as well
Lessons about mitigation and LEDS can be integrated in courses (higher education)
Key and Priority Activities Related to LEDS
