In addition, this docum ent describes the progress m ade in form ulating the 2016 Risk Resiliency Program (RRP), fostering greater convergence across NGAs under the DBM ’s Program Convergence Budgeting (PCB). The RRP, which is being led by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), aims to strengthen the delivery of results under the government’s environment and climate change Key Results Area (KRA), using a landscape management approach in the Philippines’ 18 major river basins. Overall, the PCB strengthens results delivered from public sector expenditures on the KRAs by: (i) channeling the available fiscal space to essential priority programs, (ii) better targeting the appropriated resources to high priority areas, and (iii) catalyzing convergence among the NGAs in the planning and results delivery by fostering coordination during budget preparation. For 2016, the DENR has taken steps to strengthen the RRP’s design as well as to increase coordination and convergence and to further institutionalize the RRP as a formal program of the government.   Furtherm ore, the pilot LGU-level clim ate change expenditure tagging (CCET) carried out in 2015 provided strong evidence of its feasibility and relevance for local-level decisionm aking on clim ate change adaptation and m itigation activities. Modeled after the national climate budgeting process, LGUs are encouraged to participate and tag CC response PAPs in their Annual Investment Programs. This document includes results of the pilot implementation of the CCET at the local level. Overall, this docum ent seeks to com m unicate better the ways through which clim ate budgeting contributes to clim ate change adaptation and m itigation.
