Green Growth

The following is the step by step process by which we can integrate green growth in the development plan, as follows:

Step 1 – Getting Organized

Consider Biodiversity Integration Activities Resource Inventory/Mapping Management Planning

Step 2 – Identifying Stakeholder

Include PAMB and other local Stakeholders; LEIPO, DTI, Business Membership Org./Industry Asso.

Step 3 – Setting the Vision

Consider as one of the Vision Elements and Descriptors

Step 4 – Analyzing the Situation

What are the issues and concerns that needs to be addressed (to be incorporated in analysis matrix)

Know your Protected Areas and Critical Habitats/biodiversity; summary report/profile of key sectoral/thematic areas :
- socio-economic
-demographic
-income
-production
-land use resource conditions
-ecological/environmental
-settlements

Step 5 – Setting the Goals and Objectives

Health and safe communities

Food Security

Well manage and sustainable use of land and its resources and access to all infrastructure services

A convenient, equitable, healthful, attractive environment and disaster resilient communities

Good governance

Step 6 – Establishing Development Thrust and Spatial Strategies

Siting/locating agriculture and forest production areas; the development of infrastructure, settlements and other uses like industries, commercial areas are important for sustainable environmental growth and development. Sectoral development activities should be aligned with biodiversity conservation concerns and other spatial strategies. 

Two concerns under CLUP Step 6 :

Sectoral economic development thrusts, and Spatial development strategies as basis for land use planning

Structural map from this step contains the general location of development areas, conservation areas influencing the proposed major infrastructure projects as indicated by the:  direction of urban expansion  proposed circulation system and growth areas/nodes

Step 7 - Preparing the Land Use Plan:  Determining the location and extent of PA/KBA/CH,  MPA and critical watersheds; the economic development

The land use plan is the major interpretation of the agreed vision, goals and objectives, development thrust, and spatial strategies. 

The proposed land use map should contain the location and extent of the delineated PA/KBA and critical watersheds and MPAs.
