Measures
Capacitating the local government in mainstreaming energy transition in the executive and legislative agenda
The roadmap presents several technological options and policy recommendations that will help the City of Cauayan to navigate the transition of its energy sector in line with the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, while at the same time moving towards a net-zero carbon society. This cannot be done without strong institutional support and leadership from the LGUs. The DILG-DOE Joint Memorandum Circular No. 2020-01 provides important guidelines to the LGUs, including Cauayan, for strengthening their institutional capacity to facilitate implementation of energy projects. Its main purpose is to promote the integration of existing and future national energy plans and policies into the local development plans. For example, the joint memorandum circular calls for the activation of the Energy Sector Committee within the LGUs in incorporating energy policies and programmes into its spatial plan and comprehensive development plan. In addition, it highlights the importance of educational awareness among the stakeholders and constituents on the topics.
To ensure that the SDG7 targets and the climate ambition are achieved, the City of Cauayan should consider integrating the policy recommendations from this roadmap into its comprehensive development plan as well as in other future policy and planning documents. Further cost-benefit analysis on the technological options and the development of a strategic action plan may be the next important steps. For example, implementation programmes should be comprehensively planned, taking into consideration the capital cost and stakeholder support required, and the implementation timeline, while also addressing the possible challenges. At the same time, institutional and policy support mechanisms should be established to ensure the continuity of the programmes. The City of Cauayan may also consider establishing a monitoring mechanism for tracking its progress towards achieving the targets.
