12385960003Baguio CityPhilippinesSoutheast Asia and Oceania0.1Please give a general description and introduction to your city including your city’s reporting boundary in the table below.2Description of city1Please completeBaguio is a city chartered in 1909, it is a mid-sized, landlocked highly urbanized City also referred to as the “City of Pines” and the “Summer Capital of the Philippines”. The City has a resident population of 367,137 for 2019 growing at 1.54% per year that easily increases to a 500,000-daytime population. Population density is placed at 6,005 per square meter. Baguio is located within the highlands of the Cordillera Ranges in the island of Luzon, which is the largest and most populous island in the Philippines. Its geographic location is at 16.411999° N and 120.59834° E with a total land area of 57.49 sq.km. and an elevation of 1,400 meters above sea level. It is a landlocked mountainous City, popular for its temperate climate and rich cultural background. As to its land cover: 9.81% are declared as watershed and protected forest; 1.41% as parks and recreation areas; 11.04% are open spaces; and the rest are settlement areas.The City is 206 kilometers away from Manila which takes about four (4) hours to drive. It serves as the gateway to other municipalities in the Cordillera Region mountains. It is the only highly urbanized City in the region. The City is divided into 129 barangays distributed among its 20 administrative districts. Baguio City is considered as the coolest City in the Philippines with temperatures normally ranging from 17 degrees to 21 degrees, but may drop to 9 degrees during the coldest months of the year. Baguio’s cool climate and unique panorama continues to attract visitors from all over the world all year round. Baguio City is a regional urban center, commercial and institutional hubs and home to large intensities of people, infrastructure and investments. It is the seat of government of the Cordillera Administrative Region (CAR) and aside from being the center of business, trade and commerce, it is also the center of transportation and education in Northern Luzon. Following the modified Coronas classification adopted by the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration Services Administration (PAGASA), Baguio City has so-called Type 1 climate, with two pronounced seasons. The dry season from November to April is affected by the Northeast Monsoon (Amihan). The wet season from May to October is affected by the southwest monsoon (Habagat). In addition to the monsoons, the City’s climate – as in the rest of the Philippines – is affected by the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ), El Niño/La Niña, and tropical cyclones. Of the 20 tropical cyclones that enter the Philippine Area of Responsibility in a year, an average of 9 make landfall, and 5 are of typhoon level strength (Pacheco, et al., 2010; Abastillas, 2009; PAGASA, 2011). The Passage of typhoons is estimated to bring slightly over 50% of the annual rainfall of the City. The country’s highest 24-hour rainfall events were recorded in Baguio City.Climate change is among the many challenges facing the City. With a warming climate comes an increase in the frequency and intensity of heavy rainfall and typhoons. Landslides, severe erosion and floods spawned by heavy rains can inflict damage to the life and property, threaten food supply, cause serious economic and social disruption, and set back many development gains. A warmer and wetter climate may cause the outbreak of vector-borne and water-borne diseases.The current and emerging challenges and threats posed by the changing climate present new and unfamiliar impacts that may slow down, limit or, altogether, alter the development paths of the City. Climate related risks, as exacerbated by climate change, are increasing in intensity and frequency. Some of the impacts of climate change are not yet happening or evident at present but are projected to take place in the future. The City therefore need to be smarter, more prepared, more adaptable and in constant guard in anticipation of these uncertainties and future threats.

Governance and Data Management1.0Please detail sustainability goals and targets (e.g. GHG reductions) that are incorporated into your city’s master plan and describe how these are addressed in the table below.2Description1Baguio City is now promoting the integration of climate change adaptation (CCA) into city plans and programs, foremost of which is mainstreaming CCA into the city’s Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP) and Comprehensive Development Plan (CDP). The city is also working with several national agencies and partner organizations such as the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) and various non-government organization (NGOs) to integrate CCA into local governance to strengthen the city’s adaptive capacity.There are a number of measures that Baguio City could implement to improve the city’s adaptive capacity to climate change. These include a variety of sector-specific actions and combinations of structural (engineering construction), non-structural (capacities, regulations, etc.) and green measures for CCA. Some adaptation target strategies incorporated in the City's master plan, to name a few, are:1. Introduce and promote new green building and green city design2. Protect Baguio's ecological integrity3. Allow nature to take its natural course4. Improve management and conservation of forests, prevent forest conversions, increase forested areas5. Promote greening of urban environment6. Protect waterways, springs and headwaters from pollution and contaminationStructural measures include introduction of engineering technologies to strengthen old and new buildings, as well as the creation of structures for disaster protection such as dikes, levees, and gabions. Non-structural measures include strict enforcement and compliance of building codes. The green measures are ecologically-sound strategies that aim to reduce wastes and human dependence on carbon energy.Climate change adaptation is now seen as a practice of good urban governance because it builds the capacities of cities not just in facing the threats of climate change, but also in addressing issues related to urban management and sustainable urban growth. CCA encourages operational and behavioral changes among cities. It also helps cities address several important urban problems such as issues related to water and power supply, food security, management of solid and liquid wastes, urban mobility, housing, parks and open spaces, health and sanitation, and disaster risks. It also offers long-term protection to cities.

Governance and Data Management1.0Please detail sustainability goals and targets (e.g. GHG reductions) that are incorporated into your city’s master plan and describe how these are addressed in the table below.2Description41. The Baguio 30 by 2025 Goal:The City aims to recoup and protect 30% of its land area as open spaces by 2025. It will actively mobilize its Safeguarded Lands Identification and Management Team which is composed of several LGU offices and work on the development of a digital database that will serve as the baseline in developing an action plan to get back the 30%. Corollary is the conservation of forest and green cover within the City’s in order to increase water re-charge areas, mitigate temperature increase, and solve the problem of fragmentation. 2. The Eco2Baguio Initiative:The City is currently updating its Comprehensive Land Use, Zoning and Development Plans with the vision of implementing land readjustments based on an established local economic development framework and ecological carrying capacity.3. Micro Baguio :The temperate climate of Baguio makes it most conducive to other modes of mobility such as walking and biking. The Micro mobility Plan of Baguio aims to integrate healthy and low-carbon options by developing routes that will allow pedestrians and cyclists to reach different destinations in the city within 20 minutes.

12387960003Baguio CityPhilippinesSoutheast Asia and Oceania1. Governance and Data Management1.6Please provide information on the overall impact of COVID-19 on climate action in your city.2Comment1ResponseThe air pollution in the city was reduced following the imposed community lockdowns and quarantine measures, which prohibits the people from going out and roaming around the city, particularly the unauthorized persons outside residence (UPOR). Moreover, the use of private and public transportation had decreased which caused lower greenhouse gas (GHGs) emissions, and which also contributed to the reduction of noise levels all over the city. The lack of tourists and/or visitors especially during the peak months of January to May, contributed to waste reduction. However, due to the increased demand use of PPEs by hospitals, health facilities and some establishments, the generation of hospital wastes has also increased. Furthermore, the demand for clean water supply was also higher because of the increased frequency of handwashing and bathing since most city dwellers remain at home, and had also affected utility expenditures and revenue, customer bills, and water quality.
