MESSAGE FROM OUR
SECRETARY GENERAL “Working with cities via localized, targeted initiatives has produced tangible results...”
W
hen I visited Manila in May 2014 to serve as keynote speaker during ADB’s regional forum, I mentioned that decades of growth have transformed Southeast Asia into what it is today, a dynamic region at the cusp of perhaps greater prosperity. Southeast Asia’s potential represents something more than being investment haven or emerging market. It is the potential to change course, to reshape development models along sustainable lines, to harness the significant gains of an earlier period of growth – wealth, education, empowered citizenry – to redress its excesses. This potential, I believe, is what drew our organization, ICLEI, to work with cities and towns in the region. Together, we have unpacked and localized the sustainability concept to specific city contexts. We were able to engage in a wide range of issues with the flexibility to adapt to local needs and capacities. Working with cities via localized, targeted initiatives has produced tangible results, over relatively short periods of time. Through the years, we have continuously challenged cities and other local government leaders to take initiative, seek out wider networks of support from within and outside their countries to improve their own capacities, establish a vision for a sustainable city and take heart in the power of local action for global change. The task of translating sustainability through local actions is an integral part of what I do with the help of my team in Bonn and other parts of the world. To know and learn about the accomplishments and milestones of our regional offices gives us such great pride. A big congratulations to our ICLEI Southeast Asia Secretariat from the entire ICLEI family!

MESSAGE FROM OUR
REGIONAL DIRECTOR
A
nother year has come and gone. 2014 was considered a penultimate year. As the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) expire by the end of 2015, discussions on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are happening everywhere. Various organizations, ICLEI included, try to influence and shape the future international development agenda. As this happens, local initiatives also continue to flourish. ICLEI SEAS is fortunate to be witnesses and drivers of some activities related to local governments’ pursuit of sustainable development. The nexus approach which considers the integration of water, food, and energy is one example. With the support of GIZ and BMZ, ICLEI SEAS helps build capacities of two cities in the Philippines and soon, two more cities in Indonesia, in applying the nexus in local development plans. We recognize that it is only through integrated resource management that cities can become resource-efficient. In the long run, this contributes to becoming more resilient as well. On the climate change front, 2014 was equally important as the road to Paris gets nearer. Globally, ICLEI helps pave the road to give the local government agenda a louder voice in the climate negotiations. Here in Southeast Asia, we do this by addressing climate change mitigation and adaptation through our various programs and activities. This year, a remarkable 15 local governments in the Philippines and four cities in Indonesia have engaged in the ICLEI-ACCCRN process, our methodology for building local climate change resilience supported by the Rockefeller Foundation. Meanwhile, the cities of Bogor and Balikpapan and their respective ‘satellite’ cities made significant progress under the Urban LEDS project, supported by the European Commission. Toward the end of the year, we saw Quezon City join with the rest of the world for the People’s Climate March, dubbed as the biggest mobilization for climate action in history, as Mayor Bautista and other ICLEI Mayors joined the march in New York City. Later, they would attend the UN Climate Summit and witness the announcement of the Compact of Mayors, a historic partnership between the world’s preeminent city networks to combat climate change. For a groundbreaking 2014, let me thank our Members, partners, and staff for their outstanding work and support, as we gear up for what could be an even bigger and better year for ICLEI and its work in the region. Next year will be a witness to a number of important ICLEI events building up until the Paris negotiations. These include the first Resilient Cities AsiaPacific organized by ICLEI Asia offices, the World Mayors’ Council on Climate Change, and Bangkok Metropolitan Administration to be held in February. On April 8-12, global leaders on urban sustainability will convene in Seoul, South Korea for ICLEI’s largest showcase of its groundbreaking work towards a sustainable urban future, at the ICLEI World Congress 2015.
2015 will be another milestone year for ICLEI Southeast Asia as it will celebrate its 10th Year as a Secretariat and 19 years of existence in the region. Over these years, the Secretariat has grown on a steady path and succeeded with support from members, partners and funders. Let us make 2015 an even better year for local sustainability in Southeast Asia. We invite all local governments in the region to join us at the Resilient Cities Asia-Pacific and the ICLEI World Congress 2015, and enrich your knowledge, capacity, and support networks for transforming your locality into a model of climate resiliency and local sustainable development. Of course, we also invite you to join ICLEI and let us help you in achieving the same. Maraming salamat, terimah kasih, and khob khun maak!

About
ICLEI SEAS WHO WE ARE AND WHAT WE DO
I
CLEI Southeast Asia Secretariat (ICLEI SEAS) is the regional secretariat for ICLEI – Local Governments for Sustainability, and presently operates in Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia and the Philippines. Established in 1996 as a project office, ICLEI SEAS began its work in the region with the Cities for Climate Protection (CCP) Campaign in the Philippines. CCP was initially implemented in the Philippines, and then expanded to Thailand and Indonesia in 2002. It became a full blown Secretariat in December 2004, since then, it has been expanding rapidly, becoming involved with new and evolving campaigns and programs that enable and empower local governments in the Southeast Asia region to create low-carbon, resilient, and resource-efficient local governments and communities by: • • • •
reducing greenhouse gas emissions, adapting to the changing climate, managing freshwater resources sustainably, and integrating sustainability principles in local government management and urban governance.
For the past years, ICLEI SEAS has gained recognition from its experience of empowering cities in Southeast Asia. It continues to inspire and invite more partnerships from cities and urban regions seeking to be at the forefront of creating resilient and sustainable communities. Today, ICLEI SEAS continues to serve other Southeast Asian countries and takes part in the region’s and each local government’s initiatives towards resilient and sustainable communities.
OUR MISSION ICLEI’s Mission is to build and serve a worldwide movement of local governments to achieve tangible improvements in global sustainability with special focus on environmental conditions through cumulative local actions

ICLEI has been chosen by the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KADIN) as one of its major supporters for the Indonesia Green Infrastructure Summit (IGIS) held April 29-30 in Jakarta. The summit aimed to raise awareness among Indonesian businesses, as well as society at large, on strategies that Indonesia can pursue for green economy at the urban planning and infrastructure development level. During the Summit, ICLEI signed the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with KADIN to support Indonesian local governments’ engagement with the Friends of Cities at the UNFCCC. A separate MoU was signed by ICLEI and Indonesian cities Bogor and Tarakan for Urban LEDS. Ms. Mary Jane Ortega, Vice President of the ICLEI Global Executive Committee, represented ICLEI. Ms. Ortega also served as a panelist in one of the plenary sessions titled “Infrastructure Development Impact: The Past, Present, and the Future.” ICLEI SEAS joined hands with the School of Environmental Science and Management - University of the Philippines Los Baños, Oscar M. Lopez Center Science for Climate Resilient Communities, and the City of Batangas, Philippines in organizing a Geographic Information System (GIS) training catered for staff of local government units (LGUs). A total of 37 representatives from 16 LGUs attended the event, comprising of two groups. The first group consisted of LGUs situated in the Calumpang River Basin in Batangas Province. The second group consisted of LGUs undertaking the ACCCRN. ICLEI SEAS recognized the need to enhance the technical capacities of LGUs in order to achieve scientific and evidence-based decision-making, which is highly important in tackling climate change. During the city’s celebration of the Hari Tata Ruang Nasional with the theme, “Bogor as a Sustainable Heritage City,” Mayor Bima inaugurated a program of streetlight conversion to light-emitting diode (LED) lamps, installing the first lamp himself. The celebration was held in Surya Kencana, a neighborhood to be developed as Bogor’s ‘China Town’ under the Heritage City Building and Environment Plan. It has also been selected as one of the areas for retrofitting under the ICLEI-implemented Urban LEDS project. Hari Tata Ruang is a special day set by the Indonesian government since 2008 to improve public awareness and participation in spatial planning and policy. Two ICLEI Members in the Philippines received support for disaster response via donations from Kito Onlus, a non-profit organization based in Padua, Italy. The City of San Fernando (La Union) formally received the first-ever Kito-Health unit in operation, during turnover and inauguration ceremonies held in the city last February. Kito-Health is a “mobile and ecologically sustainable pre-fabricated unit” usable as an emergency health center in disaster-affected areas. On the other hand, the municipality of San Francisco in the Camotes Islands, Cebu Province, accepted cash donation in January for rehabilitation efforts after Typhoon Yolanda (Haiyan). The donation shall cover the reconstruction of the Lorenzo C. Tanza Memorial High School under the municipality’s Cash for Work project.
Partnerships for local government resilience Secretary General keynotes ADB conference
Sharing lessons on urban resiliency
People’s Climate March
ICLEI SEAS signed an MoU with the Local Government Academy (LGA) in June to develop joint strategies and initiatives for building climate change resilience among local governments in the Philippines. LGA serves as the training arm of the Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG). Last October, DILG released Memorandum Circular No. 2014135 providing its Guidelines on the Formulation of Local Climate Change Action Plans, a framework substantially similar to the ICLEI-ACCCRN Process.
ICLEI World Secretary General Gino Van Begin delivered the keynote address at the “Enabling GrEEEn Cities: A Sustainable Urban Future for Southeast Asia” Regional Conference hosted by the Asian Development Bank (ADB) in Manila on May 13-14. The Conference was organized to share ADB’s operational framework for its Urban Operational Plan 2012-2020, which “presents a 3E’s approach (Economy + Environment + Equity) to sustainable and livable cities,” among the secondary cities of Southeast Asia. The conference was attended by over 100 participants from national and city agencies in Asia, international organizations, and the private sector. Also in attendance were Mr. Victorino Aquitania, ICLEI SEAS Regional Director, and Mr. Emani Kumar, ICLEI South Asia Regional Director and ICLEI Deputy Secretary General. ICLEI SEAS Regional Director Vic Aquitania shared the urban climate change resilience (UCCR) framework as applied by the organization in implementing the ACCCRN in various Philippine local governments. This was in the occasion of the 4th Asia-Pacific Adaptation Forum held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia last October. Mr. Aquitania highlighted that “resilience is always context-based” where UCCR is translated into multiple contexts based on a local government’s biophysical and socioeconomic profile, governance structure (policies, scope of mandate), as well as development challenges and priorities. Other important points included the need to identify entry points for integrating mitigation in the UCCR framework, addressing trans-boundary climate change impacts, and maximizing gains of resiliency initiatives considering that most exist within various departments and/or ministries. The 4th Forum focused on adaptation actors and how they collaborate to form partnerships and networks. Officials and residents of Quezon City, Philippines, marched in step with hundreds of thousands all over the world as part of the People’s Climate March, dubbed as the “biggest mobilization for climate action in history,” on September 21. Under the ICLEI-inspired banner, “People’s Climate, Quezon City Commits,” the Quezon City march took place only hours before its Mayor, Herbert Bautista, would join other ICLEI city mayors at the People’s Climate March in New York City. The mayors would later attend the United Nations Climate Summit on September 23, in which the Compact of Mayors, a historic partnership between the world’s preeminent city networks to combat climate change, would be announced by UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon and UN Special Envoy for Cities and Climate Change Michael R. Bloomberg.

Building Municipal Partnerships in Asia
Coffee Morning
Environmental Awareness Seminar
12
Last November 17-18, the Service Agency Communities in One World of Engagement Global organized the first conference on municipal partnerships with Asia in Berlin, Germany. ICLEI SEAS was invited as a panelist in the breakout session on “Disaster risk management and building resilience as an area of municipal partnership.” Around 90 participants attended this interdisciplinary exchange of knowledge and experiences on municipal partnerships. To date, Engagement Global noted that “there is still a small number of German municipalities that have an active partnership with a municipality in an Asian country.” The organization explained that the next two years should focus on raising awareness on the benefits of municipal partnerships and thus increase the number of twinning or cooperation formed between cities in Germany and Asia.
The Indonesia Climate Change Center (ICCC) and ICLEI Indonesia project office jointly organized lecture-discussions through the Coffee Morning on Climate Change. Through this dialogue, ICCC and ICLEI help facilitate and communicate evidence-based knowledge and experiences to cope with climate change impacts and potentials from leading policy makers, practitioners as well as researchers.
ICLEI SEAS served as resource person on two separate trainings aimed at educating the youth and rural women about the environment and climate change. The Women’s Institute for Sustainable Economic Action (WISE ACT, Inc.), in partnership with Alay Kapwa Rural Women Multi-purpose Cooperative, held an environmental awareness seminar for women in the municipality of Sariaya, Quezon Province, Philippines last 16 October 2014. The seminar provided participants with a better understanding of the close link between humans and the environment so that they can be mobilized to become agents of change. The following week, ICLEI SEAS discussed the science of climate change during the Marikina City Climate Change Forum 2014 with the theme “Ondoy Noon, Habagat Ngayon, What’s Next?” The presentation included observed impacts, causes, future projections, and ways to address climate change. Specific actions for environmental protection and conservation were also presented. During both occasions, participants were called to take part in the environment and climate change challenge, especially by educating their households about what they have learned.
Second Mekong Climate Change Forum
ICLEI SEAS representative to the GexCom Quezon City’s resiliency initiatives
The Second Mekong Climate Change Forum was held in Siem Reap, Cambodia last 6-8 October 2014. The three-day event brought together 175 participants, including academics, development agency officials, and representatives of the Mekong River Committee (MRC) and National Mekong Committees, to share their knowledge and experience on the topic of climate change adaptation (CCA) in the river basin, particularly in the trans-boundary context. ICLEI SEAS attended the forum to keep abreast with the state of the art in CCA research and implementation in the Lower Mekong Basin (LMB). There is a high consensus among the members on the need for a basin-wide approach to combat changing climate. MRC’s Mekong Adaptation Strategy and Action Plan promises to provide a regional adaptation framework, to strengthen regional collaboration and to guide the member-countries in synergizing national adaptation strategies into trans-boundary adaptation. Seberang Perai (Malaysia) Municipal President Maimunah Mohd Sharif has been elected to the ICLEI Global Executive Committee (GexCom) by her peers at the ICLEI Southeast Asia Regional Executive Committee (RexCom). Ms. Maimunah was selected by Mayor Hugua of Wakatobi Regency, Indonesia, and City Budget Officer Leticia Clemente of Baguio City, Philippines, in a decision made known on December 11. Ms. Maimunah, Mayor. Hugua, and Ms. Clemente were elected to the RexCom via a balloting process that ran from September through November last year, besting three other candidates. Mayor Somjai Suwansupana of Phuket, Thailand, a member of the outgoing RexCom, retains a special advisory role. The new RexCom shall serve a three-year term beginning in 2015 until 2018. Officials from the Rockefeller Foundation (RF) visited Quezon City, Philippines last May 21 to learn more about the city’s resiliency initiatives. Quezon City is one of the pilot cities undertaking the Asian Cities Climate Change Resilience Network (ACCCRN), one of RF’s flagship programs. Mr. Ashvin Dayal, Global Vice President and Managing Director (Asia office) and Ms. Anna Brown, Senior Associate Director along with Quezon City officials visited Barangay Payatas, an urban poor area where peoples’ livelihoods draw heavily from waste sorting and recycling. The two officials also met with Quezon City Mayor Herbert Bautista who noted that building urban resiliency is one of the cities’ top priorities because it has a number of areas vulnerable to disasters aggravated by bio-physical and social factors.

APAN was established in October 2009 as part of the Global Climate Adaptation Network (GAN). Since 2012, ICLEI SEAS serves as its sub-regional node in Southeast Asia. Capacity building and knowledge management are the two main areas of APAN-ICLEI partnership. Last November, a training-workshop on the integration of climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction (CCA-DRR) in the context of river management was organized as part of the 2nd International River Summit in Marikina City, Philippines. Key points that surfaced were the importance of evidence-based decision-making, adopting a multi-stakeholder engagement process to legitimize actions, and recognition that resilience building needs a holistic approach. Further, there is a need to strengthen the link between resilience building and poverty alleviation to address notions on competing development priorities. To further complement this learning event, ICLEI SEAS is also preparing a technical paper titled “Frameworks and Tools for CCA-DRR Integration in Southeast Asia.� Desk review has started and the report is expected to be finished by early 2015. ICLEI SEAS is currently working on a policy brief which focuses on the convergence of adaptation and mitigation.
ICLEI-SEAS is in partnership with the International City/County Management Association (ICMA) in offering and promoting the Young Southeast Asian Leadership Initiative (YSEALI) Professional Fellows Program for young professionals from Brunei, Malaysia, and Singapore. The YSEALI Program is an initiative of President Barack Obama to provide emerging leaders with an opportunity to broaden their professional experience focusing on the five YSEALI themes: civic engagement, economic development, environmental sustainability, legislative processes, and the governance sector. The program aims to create institutionalized long-term partnerships that support emerging leaders and their institutions in the ASEAN countries and the US to inspire change in creating responsive, open, and accountable governance. The program runs from 2014 to 2015. ICLEI SEAS was tasked to recruit and assist in the selection of project fellows for the three countries. By the end of 2014, a total of 31 applications were received from Malaysia; 5 from Brunei, and 6 from Singapore.
The implementation of Urban LEDS in Indonesia kicked off this year with a consultation workshop on the Global Protocol for Community-level (GPC) GHG Emissions Inventories held in January 10. A total of 13 Indonesian cities attended the event, along with representatives from development agencies, academic institutions, as well as national government such as the Ministry of Environment, National Planning Board, Ministry of Agriculture and Secretariat for National Action Plan on GHG and various donor agencies.
Urban Low Emission Development Strategy (LEDS)
In terms of city-level engagement, a number of milestones were achieved. The two pilot cities, Bogor and Balikpapan have completed their GHG inventories. ICLEI conducted workshops with each city’s Climate Core Team to gather the activity data and develop an emission factors profile, necessary for a city-scale emissions analysis. The inventory helped both cities in coming up with a City Action Plan for GHG emissions reduction and ‘climate-proof’ their development plans.
Duration: March 2012 to August 2015 Website: urbanleds.iclei.org Status: Continuing Funding institution: European Commission ICLEI Offices involved: World Secretariat, South Asia, and South America
Bogor City has adopted its new Regional Medium Term Development Plan for 2015-2019, which incorporates LEDS principles. As mandated by Indonesian law, the city conducted a Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) as a prerequisite to the development plan. ICLEI co-hosted one of two focus-group discussions for SEA in July.
Implementation partner: UN HABITAT Project sites: Bogor and Balikpapan as model cities; Kabupaten Bogor, Tanggerang Selatan, Bontang and Tarakan as satellite cities
Toward the end of this year, Bogor City approved the allocation of about 12 million USD for LEDS activities. This will be used chiefly to revitalize Bogor City’s bus rapid transit (BRT) system, Transpakuan. The City Government plans to improve and expand the 27-bus fleet, currently plying a 14-kilometer corridor across the city, and convert the vehicles to run on natural gas. The budget shall also be used for the conversion of 1,000 public minivans, known locally as angkot, to either natural gas or electricity. This budgetary commitment has further proven Bogor’s drive to realize Mayor Bima’s stated vision, delivered during his inauguration in 2014, of “adopting sustainability to transform Bogor into a more livable city.” On the other hand, indicative results of GHG inventory in Balikpapan show that the highest emission contributor is on the transport sector. Hence, the city is also incorporating LEDS and has identified potential LEDS activities. Proposed activities include reducing the usage of private cars and increase mass transport options by introducing a tram system as main public transport in the area. Moreover, a range of actions through the private sector Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) committee including building and lighting retrofitting activities; as well as waste management were identified as priorities. Apart from city-level interventions, the two model cities benefited from international networking opportunities. One example is the Study Tour on Low Carbon Solutions in Europe which took place in April. The study tour showcased highly relevant examples of waste-to-energy solutions, green buildings and districts as well as low emission transport solutions in three leading European cities namely Almada, Portugal; Copenhagen, Denmark; and Hannover, Germany. Almada was the first Portuguese municipality to develop a local Strategy for Climate Change, with a strong integration of low carbon development into the local development strategy – and a range of excellent examples in the transport sector. Copenhagen is the European Green Capital 2014 and has set for itself the ambitious target of becoming the first European capital city to be carbon neutral by 2025, addressing economic growth and innovation as two cornerstones. Hannover has set up a unique partnership within its region, involving sixty organizations, and a fund that distributes around €5 million per year for energy efficient refurbishment measures in buildings.

ICLEI SEAS
PROGRAMS & PROJECTS Integrated Resource Management: The Urban Nexus Duration: December 2013 to October 2015 Status: Continuing Commissioned by: German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) Lead executing agency: Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH Political partner: United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and Pacific (UN ESCAP) Project sites: Naga City and Santa Rosa City, Philippines; Pekanbaru and Tanjungpinang, Indonesia
The project adheres to the principle of holistic or integrated urban planning and breaking open of “silo” thinking (sectoral). This is demonstrated through concrete projects implemented by pilot cities. The project is anchored on the introduction of innovative engineering technologies in the area of wastewater and solid waste management, generation of energy, link to (urban) agriculture, as well as energy efficiency in/of buildings. As implementation partner in the two Philippine cities namely Santa Rosa and Naga, ICLEI SEAS conducts four different but mutually supportive tasks namely 1) promotion of nexus initiatives, 2) development of nexus methodologies and guidelines, 3) support to capacity building activities, and 4) creation of regional learning network/platform. In the latter part of 2014, the organization expanded nexus implementation to include two cities in Indonesia, Tanjungpinang and Pekanbaru. At the onset, ICLEI SEAS conducted a desk review of the Philippine cities’ fundamental planning documents including the Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP) and the Comprehensive Development Plan (CDP). Examining these local plans helped provide a clear picture of the city’s future directions and at the same time, identify entry points on how water, food, energy nexus can be integrated into these plans. Findings were shared with the respective cities during city workshops held last April and May in Naga and Santa Rosa City, respectively. During the city workshop, ICLEI SEAS also facilitated a strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) exercise with the city’s nexus task force to determine perceived training needs and/or technical assistance required. Both cities are currently working on housing projects and are exploring how nexus can be integrated in terms of design and site development. Recognizing that the implementation and promotion of nexus initiatives go beyond the mandates of local governments, ICLEI SEAS alongside GIZ continuously build relationships with relevant national government agencies (NGAs) in the Philippines. In October 2014, ICLEI SEAS led the organization of the first nexus national-local dialogue. This provided a venue for exchange between and among nexus cities and the national government, particularly on issues concerning the water, energy, and housing sectors; as well as identify specific steps that may be taken to address challenges and issues arising from city-level nexus implementation.
16
Throughout the year, ICLEI SEAS also supported other nexus trainings and studies and participated in two regional workshops and one results-based monitoring workshop. Details are summarized below: 3rd Nexus Regional Workshop (Danang, Vietnam). ICLEI SEAS presented on the topic “Institutionalizing the Nexus Approach” highlighting that a number of laws and issuances in the Philippines recognize the interdependencies among the nexus sectors, forming to an extent, a policy framework to facilitate nexus integration. However, ICLEI SEAS emphasized that while national governments can provide an overarching framework, concrete interventions should be implemented by local governments.
Integrated Resource Management: The Urban Nexus
Nexus Gender Study. This was carried out in the two Philippine cities to analyze potential gender considerations vis-à-vis nexus pilot projects and development planning in general. Findings of the gender study will be incorporated into the nexus strategy paper to be developed by ICLEI SEAS. Taking off from the interest of Santa Rosa City, there is a plan to conduct an orientation-workshop on gender and nexus in early 2015. Urban Community of Practice (UCoP) Brown Bag Session (Manila, Philippines). ICLEI SEAS organized a two-hour brown bag session with key staff from the Asian Development Bank (ADB) in October 2014. The session focused on the vacuum sewer waste water collection system. This activity provided a venue to explore possible collaboration/s with ADB in the future particularly in terms of linking nexus cities to financing options. 4th Nexus Regional Workshop (Ulaan Bataar, Mongolia). Outcomes of the national-local dialogue were reported during this workshop. The workshop recognized new formats of communication and exchanges including peer-to-peer learning, south-south cooperation, and national-local dialogues. Enhanced cooperation between national and local governments was highlighted as a critical step in addressing the nexus challenge. New approach such as clustering of local governments was also suggested as a possible option to deal with nexus issues and concerns. Results-Based Monitoring (RBM) Workshop (Bangkok, Thailand). This activity reviewed the project’s current status and identified emerging issues and perceived challenges on project implementation.

ICLEI SEAS
PROGRAMS & PROJECTS Asian Cities Climate Change Resilience Network (ACCCRN) Duration: 2012 to 2015 Website: acccrn.org Status: Continuing Funding institution: Rockefeller Foundation ICLEI offices involved: ICLEI Oceania and South Asia Project Sites: 15 local governments in the Philippines; 4 cities in Indonesia
The ICLEI-ACCCRN Process is a methodology for building local climate change resilience developed by ICLEI under ACCCRN, an initiative by the Rockefeller Foundation. It consists of a tested guide and toolkit aimed at helping local governments develop climate change resilience strategies in relation to perceived vulnerabilities of key urban systems. PHILIPPINES 2014 was a breakthrough year for the project as 15 Philippine local governments completed Phases 1 to 4 of the ICLEI-ACCCRN Process. Phase 4 covers the formulation of a City Resilience Strategy and its integration into the local planning and policy-making process, representing the final set of ICLEI-assisted workshops before implementation (Phase 5) and monitoring and review (Phase 6). Initially pegged at 10, the roster was eventually expanded to 15 after additional local governments showed interest. From March through November, Phase 1 (Engagement), Phase 2 (Climate Research and Impact Assessment) and Phase 3 (Vulnerabilities Assessment) workshops were conducted in the cities of Tuguegarao, San Fernando (La Union), Baguio, Makati, Quezon City, Marikina, Naga, Batangas, Catbalogan, Borongan, and Santa Rosa; the municipalities of Bacnotan, Tublay, and La Trinidad; and the province of Bohol. Last December, representatives from these 15 local governments convened in Baguio City for the centralized Phase 4 workshops. The Phase 4 workshop included discussions on other related topics including asset management, climate budget tagging, and tools for assessing the feasibility of infrastructure projects. INDONESIA The ICLEI Indonesia office is currently working with four cities for ACCCRN. These include Sukabumi, Cimahi, Bogor and Bandung. The program is driven by the formation of a “POKJA” (Kelompok Kerja) or working groups consisting of relevant stakeholders in each city. From the four, Sukabumi is the most advanced city having completing all series of ACCCRN workshops culminating with the finalization of Cities Resilience Strategy that consist of climate resilience actions priorities for possible implementation. Sukabumi has also proposed a community-scale rainwater harvesting project as a pilot project that may be funded through the ACCCRN small grants mechanism. The project will involve the participation of a mosque council who will facilitate the use of tanah wakaf surrounding the area. Tanah Wakaf is a communal land that can be used for religious and social purposes. On the other hand, Cimahi is currently on the fourth phase of the ICLEI ACCCRN Process. Series of workshops have been conducted to identify vulnerable urban systems in the city that will most likely be affected by climate change. ACCCRN’s progress in Bandung is hampered by the absence of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU). However, ICLEI is also involved in another program at Bandung called the “Resilience Score Card,” which to some extent also uses the ACCCRN framework as reference. The City has agreed to combine the results of both projects. For Bogor City, its participation in the ACCCRN program complements ICLEI’s mitigation project, Urban LEDS. At present, the draft MoU had been approved in principle by the International Partnership Bureau. The City has already started with the ACCCRN process and has completed vulnerability assessment. In addition to the four cities mentioned above, three major cities in Sumatera Island expressed interest to join ACCCRN. These are Kota Jambi, Kota Metro Lampung and Kota Tanjung Pinang.

The province of Bohol including the municipality of Tubigon suffered from a massive earthquake in October 2013 damaging a number of infrastructure and thereby affecting the economy as a whole. This unfortunate turn of event resulted to a reshaping of future project activities to include disaster preparedness as well as disaster risk reduction. The project focused on strengthening the awareness of youth on climate change and how the sector can become instigators of local climate action. Last July, youth representatives attended a reflection meeting as a wrap-up activity to last year’s workshops on climate change adaptation and mitigation. A resource speaker from the Bohol Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office and other community officials were at hand to support the youth. Additionally, the project also focused on the women sector. Tubigon has an active women sector in its 34 barangays (villages). ICLEI SEAS conducted a two-day workshop last September attended by local women leaders, workers, entrepreneurs, and homemakers selected by the municipality and respective barangay councils. Specific activities were aimed at developing the women’s knowledge on the causes and impacts of climate change and how to adapt and mitigate; encourage the sector to take on mitigation measures; and help them prepare for extreme events and disasters.
Community Actions & City-to-City Cooperation Duration: April 2013 to March 2015 Status: Continuing Funding institution: Japan Fund for Global Environment ICLEI offices involved: ICLEI Japan Office Project Sites: Municipality of Tubigon, Bohol, Philippines
The activity also benefitted from the sharing of local environmental and climate initiatives in the communities of Kitakyushu and Kyoto Prefecture in Japan. Kitakyushu shared their experience in overcoming pollution and revitalizing their environment while the Kyoto Prefecture encouraged the mobilization of local climate change action officers in the communities. Environmental education among local community members was also identified as a good strategy. Similar to the activities conducted with the youth, the women were asked to develop a community action plan which may be implemented with assistance from the local government. Common activities proposed were: Putting up of Early Warning System (EWS) in areas prone to flooding Proper waste management through segregation Regular coastal and river clean-up activities Tree and mangrove planting Localized climate change discussions with women groups in communities Passing of a barangay ordinance or resolution to allocate funding for climate-related and disaster preparedness projects The involvement of women in community decision-making is an important dimension that is often overlooked. This project validated the significant role of women in building resilient communities. During the workshop, women leaders showed openness to use alternative technology such as solar lamps and solar cookers which they can utilize in their own household and community. ICLEI SEAS also organized a Teachers’ Training on Climate Change through the Edo-Point project, also implemented by ICLEI Japan Office. The Municipality of Tubigon received books on climate change which can serve as reference materials for students and teachers alike.

CDKN and ICLEI have set up a joint learning programme to capture and disseminate key lessons from CDKN’s experience on the successful factors and preconditions, drivers and barriers to subnational climate compatible development (CCD) for the benefit of developing country decision-makers. CCD is defined by CDKN as a ‘development first’ approach that minimizes the harm caused by climate impacts, while maximizing the many human development opportunities presented by a low emission, more resilient, future. Sub-national CCD, in this context, refers to actions and initiatives emanating from local governments – in provinces, districts, and cities. This year, various knowledge products have been published out of the learning programme including one synthesis paper summarizing the lessons learned from the program and a number of inside stories. Two of which focus on Southeast Asian cities with a focus on sustainable urban tourism in Chiang Mai, Thailand and Hue City, Vietnam (See Publications). Two inside stories featuring the cities of Valenzuela and Malabon in the Philippines will be published in early 2015. In May 2014, a session titled “Making climate compatible development pay” was organized during the Resilient Cities Congress in Bonn, Germany. This interactive panel session drew upon the first-hand experiences of CDKN, ICLEI and learning partners from India and Thailand, as well as cities from Latin America and Africa. The session further explored issues including: using participatory methods to shape program design; maximizing local resources and stakeholder engagement; identifying development co-benefits from climate mitigation and adaptation actions; and fostering the institutionalization and scaling up of policies and practices for more CCD.
EHCC program is an annual collaborative program of ICLEI and WWF at the global level which aims to measure targeted cities action in climate change mitigation and adaptation. In Southeast Asia, participating countries are Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, and Thailand. This year, participating cities in Indonesia include Jakarta, Semarang, Bogor, Bandung, Cimahi and Balikpapan. ICLEI, through its Indonesia office, assisted participating Indonesian cities in reporting their climate actions and commitments via the carbonn Climate Registry (cCR). On the other hand, ICLEI SEAS has finalized arrangements with WWF – Malaysia for its support to the EHCC program. Currently, two Malaysian cities are joining EHCC namely, Shah Alam and Petaling Jaya. Activities for EHCC will start in the first quarter of 2015.
100 Resilient Cities - Pioneered by the Rockefeller Foundation (100RC) is dedicated to helping cities around the world become more resilient to the physical, social and economic challenges that are a growing part of the 21st century. 100RC supports the adoption and incorporation of a view of resilience that includes not just the shocks – earthquakes, fires, floods, etc. – but also the stresses that weaken the fabric of a city on a day to day or cyclical basis (100RC website). ICLEI Indonesia facilitated the 100 Resilient Cities Agenda-Setting workshop in Semarang City, Indonesia last 11 December. This was done in collaboration with the Initiative for Urban Climate Change and Environment (IUCCE). This initial workshop aimed to introduce the 100 Resilient Cities program to city stakeholders. Furthermore, the project framework was also discussed and participants were asked to apply the framework on Semarang context. Lastly, the workshop helped set the scene for the appointment of a Chief Resilience Officer in the City and development of a Resilience Strategy.

2014 PUBLICATIONS, FILMS and other RESEARCH involvements CDKN Inside Stories CDKN Inside Stories are case studies of recent developing country experience deriving from the design, planning and implementation of activities that are geared at fostering more climate compatible development (CCD). Its main objective is to analyze lessons learned from cases of CCD planning and practice at the sub-national level across a range of different countries and regions. The analysis p ro v i d e d i s t o b e q u a l i t y - a s s u re d , e v i dence-based and authored in a clear and compelling manner in order to make it easily accessible for policy makers and practitioners in developing countries. Two inside stories focusing on SEA cities were published this year. Catalysing sustainable tourism: The case of Chiang Mai, Thailand Kyoko Kusakabe, Pujan Shrestha and S. Kumar, Asian Institute of Technology; Trinnawat Suwanprik, Chiang Mai Municipality Advancing green growth in the tourism sector: The case of Hue, Vietnam Kyoko Kusakabe, Pujan Shrestha and S.

Close to Home: Subnational Strategies for Climate Compatible Development Barbara Anton, Ali Cambray, Mairi Dupar, and Astrid Westerlind-Wigstroem with Elizabeth Gogoi This Working Paper summarizes lessons from the CDKN-ICLEI learning programme. It draws on rich insights from the work of partner organizations that CDKN has supported to promote climate compatible development at the subnational level across Africa, Asia and Latin America.
CityLinks Primer on Subnational Approaches for Low Emission, Climate Resilient Development The primer, produced by ICMA in coordination with The Institute for Sustainable Communities (ISC) and supported by USAID, is designed to provide a brief overview to those new to the area of low carbon, climate resilient development and a roadmap to resources and organizations providing in-depth guidance on planning and implementation. ICLEI SEAS contributed to the development of said primer by participating in an online interview with the lead authors last July 2014. Status of Climate Change Adaptation in Asia and the Pacific APAN has submitted to the Korea Environment Institute (KEI) a joint publication proposal with the Korea Adaptation Center for Climate Change (KACCC) and United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) on the “Status of Climate Change Adaptation in Asia and the Pacific.” The publication consists of five sub-regional chapters and three thematic case studies (agriculture, mountain, and water) as well as some country studies. ICLEI SEAS serves as lead researcher and author for the chapter on Southeast Asia. The assessment framework was developed by UNEP and uses eight parameters to evaluate the status of CCA in the region. ICLEI SEAS participated in an authors’ writeshop held in Bangkok last November 2014. ICLEI SEAS has also submitted an abstract and annotated outline for the chapter. The first draft is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2015.

Local Governments Championing Adaptation to Climate Change A Primer for Decision-Makers in Asian Cities This primer was produced in the context of AsianCitiesAdapt – Impacts of Climate Change in Target Cities in India and the Philippines and Local Adaptation Strategies (2010-2013). The project was part of the International Climate Initiative. The Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, and Nuclear Safety supports this initiative on the basis of a decision adopted by the German Bustendag. The primer’s main target groups are officials of local governments in the Asian region. It will also be useful for supporting government agencies and other stakeholders and institutions with an interest in local CCA. Divided into seven main chapters, the primer takes off from basic climate change concepts and principles. The following chapters are structured according to the management cycle for the development and implementation of a CCA plan at the city level.
Climate Change for the Youth (A Training Manual) (forthcoming) This manual aims to provide a knowledge base on climate change especially catered for the youth. It has a strong focus on the science of climate change and provides a local context using observed and projected climate change as well as the vulnerabilities of the Philippines. This manual also recognizes the importance of engaging the local government in educating the youth. The publication hopes to catalyze youth action toward a low-carbon and climate-resilient future. It provides options for mitigation and adaptation actions that can be implemented as well as youth-led initiatives in the Philippines and around the world.
Knowledge and Action – Climate Change Impacts in Asian Cities and Ways to Adapt A film by Ephraim Broschkowski and Bernd Hezel produced by the Climate Media Factory. The 32-minute film is one of the results of the AsianCitiesAdapt project. It features local protagonists in climate change adaptation in several cities in India and the Philippines which have all been involved in developing local adaptation strategies. Project partners including senior scientists from the Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi; University of the Philippines – Baguio; and the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research share their insights and views on climate change and its likely consequence for cities at risk. The film was launched during the Resilient Cities Congress held in Bonn, Germany last May 2014.
Urban Nexus Case Studies for the Cities of Santa Rosa and Naga, Philippines The case studies details the various activities and interventions undertaken vis-à-vis the nexus pilot projects. The endgoal is to capture the best practices and highlight replicable learnings from the cities’ experiences in applying nexus ideas.

ICLEI SEAS Website The website was revamped and adopted the interface patterned after the global ICLEI website. It is accessible via the URL: seas.iclei.org. The website allows ICLEI members and development partners to get the latest information about ICLEI activities, members, and resources.
Newsletter This year, ICLEI SEAS re-launched its quarterly newsletter under its new name, LoGoS (formerly the SEA Tracker). The maiden issue was published in June 2014. Two more issues were published in September and December. LoGoS is shorthand for Local Governments for Sustainability, which has been part of the official ICLEI name since 2003. The name was adopted to reflect a broader focus on sustainability issues while stressing ICLEI’s identity as an association of local governments dedicated to sustainable development. Logos is also a Greek word associated with knowledge and discourse, signifying the organization’s intent to promote widespread sustainability awareness in the region, as well as contribute to and elevate the overall discourse on sustainability.
ICLEI SEAS Brochure Containing basic information about the organization as well as its current programs and projects, the ICLEI SEAS brochure was developed as a promotional and networking material. These were distributed in various local, national, and regional events organized and/or participated in by ICLEI staff. The main objective is to profile the organization to potential partners and attract new members in the region.
24
COMMUNICATION Social Media To maximize online presence and facilitate easier dissemination of relevant information, ICLEI SEAS uses Facebook (www.facebook. com/ICLEISEAS) and Twitter (Username: @icleiseas). The latter has also proved to be a useful platform in order to participate in online discussions with other ICLEI offices and organizations working on similar issues.
