MAGDIWANG, ROMBLON — The Climate Change Commission (CCC) presented the National Adaptation Plan (NAP) to the provincial government of Romblon, aiming to support local climate resilience and adaptation programs.
Vice Chairperson and Executive Director Robert E.A. Borje met with Governor Trina Alejandra Q. Firmalo-Fabic to discuss strategies for aligning local initiatives with national climate policies. Municipal officials, including Magdiwang Mayor Noel Joseph Marin Machon, Romblon Mayor Gard Montojo, and representatives from Cajidiocan, attended the meeting.
The NAP serves as a framework to guide local governments in identifying climate actions, strengthening adaptive capacities, and reducing vulnerabilities to climate change impacts. Borje said the plan helps ensure that local initiatives are coordinated with national strategies and address the needs of communities across the province.
Through the plan, CCC seeks to support local government units in improving mitigation and adaptation programs, enhancing the province’s readiness against climate-related risks, and protecting lives, livelihoods, and ecosystems.
The CCC continues to provide technical assistance and capacity-building support to local governments to promote climate-resilient communities.
