Calapan City’s new initiatives are based on comprehensive urban planning approaches and mainstreaming climate change adaptation and mitigation to realize the multiple benefits of sustainable development, including cleaner air.
Calapan has recently emerged from the process of participatory “visioning” and updating its Comprehensive Land Use Plan, which will guide our planning, decisions, policies and action in the face of current realities, such as rapid urbanization, climate change conditions and the need for climate resiliency and disaster risk adaptation."
