Automating Community-Level GHG Inventory for Navotas City
Overview
Local Governments in the Philippines are expected to manage their own local development effectively and efficiently and strategize for the adverse impacts of climate change. Thus, Local Climate Change Action Plan (LCCAP) is mandated to adapt and mitigate the effects of climate change and ensure the provision of assistance to vulnerable sectors. The integration of Greenhouse Gas Inventory (GHGI) in different plans such as in Local Climate Change Action Plan will allow the local government to have a better understanding of the dynamics and interactions between humans and our environment and how these would likely alter the development path of the community.
The Challenge
Local Governments (LGU) that adopt the LCCAP such as Navotas City are now expected to include GHG emission reduction targets, and monitoring these emissions through inventories is part of achieving those goals. While there may not be a strictnationwide mandate for every LGU to have a GHG inventory, the policy frameworkencourages their creation and integration into climate action plans for better management and reduction of emissions. Navotas City is one of the pioneer Cities that leverage technology in implementing an efficient local GHG inventory management system.
