To adapt to climate change and mitigate the impacts of natural disasters

Institutionalize CCA and DRRM in infrastructure development.

The impacts of climate change and natural disasters add to the country's infrastructure problems and hamper resolution of the constraints earlier discussed. Hence, CCA and DRRM will be institutionalized in infrastructure development.

Plans and designs should include the possible effects of climate change and natural disasters in order to develop disaster-resilient infrastructure and help mitigate the adverse impacts of climate change. LGUs should also incorporate CCA and DRRM strategies into their respective plans, programs and budgets to allow timely, efficient and effective mitigation and disaster response at the local level.
