(EMB-CALABARZON)
The Philippines is composed of fourteen (14) administrative regions, namely;
Region1( Ilocos Region ),Region2(Cagayan Valley), Region3 (Central Luzon),Region
4A(CALABARZON), Region4B(MIMAROPA), Region5(Bicol Region),Region 6(Western
Visayas), Region7(Northern Visayas),Region 8(Eastern Visayas), Region 9(Zamboanga
Peninsula),Region10(NorthernMindanao),Region11(Davao),Region12(Soccsksargen),R
egion 13(CARAGA), and Region 14(Autonomous Region in Mindanao).
In the CALABARZON Region, there are forty (40) industrial economic zones inside
and outside PEZA locations and jurisdiction. At present, the following undertakings are
being initiated and implemented in CALABARZON region;
1. Eco-industrial measures and practices that have been or plan to be implemented
in the country( design standards and regulations to improve resource efficiency,
conservation of land, air, and water quality, investment priorities for ecorestructuring of industrial infrastructures, new eco-technology development,
improved financial institutions etc.
Design Standards, Practices, and Regulations to improve resource efficiency,
conservation of land, air, and water quality among industry locators within
eco-industrial parks

Among the environmental issues that require immediate attention from local
governments now in most part of the Philippines aalthough the scale and
intensity of the problems vary, comprise of: poor air quality, traffic volumes and
congestion, high levels of ambient noise and scarcity of quiet areas as sport, play
and recreational areas, neglect of the built environment, high level of greenhouse
gas emissions, urban sprawl and generation of large volumes of solid waste and
waste water. These environmental challenges are serious and have significant
impacts on health, the environment and economic performance. These problems
are caused, in part, by changes in lifestyle and demography (growing
dependence on the private car, increase in member households, increasing
resource use per capita).
With these challenges local governments (LG) are facing, there is a need for LGs
to assess the status quo, sets targets for policy, assess available policy options,
engage with stakeholders, review their planning outputs and experiment with new
ideas that will allow mixed and flexible use of its assets and structures, respond
quickly to changing needs, and try out new approaches to integrating industrial
development vis a vis environmental conservation and service delivery. Solutions
need to be forward-looking and militate against future risks such as the impacts
of climate change (e.g. increased flooding) as well as contributing to national,
regional and global policies such as progressively reducing dependency on fossil
fuels.
However with the lack of knowledge and skills from the local governments in
environmental concerns, strategies offered to the challenges might as well be
