“The Climate Change Act of 2009 is only a few steps from passage,” Sen. Loren Legarda said.
Loren, chair of the Senate Standing and Oversight Committees on Climate Change, issued the statement after the Conference Committee Report on the Disagreeing Provisions of Senate Bill No. 2583 and House Bill No. 5982 was ratified by the Senate.
The Climate Change Act of 2009 aims to mainstream climate change into policy formulation, development planning, and poverty reduction programs.
The local government units shall be the frontline agencies in the formulation, planning and implementation of climate change action plans. (PIA)
