ADAPTATION > MITIGATION

"The Department of Agriculture, as the headof the UNFCCC Philippine Delegation Adaptation Negotiating Team, underscored that the Agri-Fishery Sector should be under Adaptation as the Philipines is a carbon-neutral country and its focus should really be on adaptation rather than on mitigation."

PCAF-COMMITTEE ON CLIMATE CHANGE RESOLUTION NO.2 SERIES OF 2016

Adaptation and Mitigation Initiative in Agriculture (AMIA)

THE AMIA PROGRAM serves as a testing ground for adaptation and mitigation

initiatives, and a breeding ground for institutional linkages that will promote and sustain a climate-resilient village made so with the provision of integrated government services.

What is NCCAG Map?A database of map overlays which can be used as a

decision-support tool and investment guide for various

sectors especially agriculture.

It features maps of natural suitability of twenty (20)

economically important crops key to food our security

and eight (8) climate change-induced hazards.

Also features maps vital to crop growth and

survivability such as water availability and climate

data.
