peoples, and in coastal and urban areas;
2) implement sustainable management of natural resources through resource conservation,
protection, and productivity enhancement;
3) provide food, goods and services such as timber, fiber, non-timber forest products,
aesthetic values, air enhancement values, water regulation values, and mitigate climate
change by expanding forest cover that serve as carbon sink;
4) promote public awareness as well as instill social and environmental consciousness on the
value of forests and watersheds;
5) enhance the formation of positive values among the youth and other partners through
shared responsibilities in sustainable management of tree plantations and forest resources,

PRIORITY PROGRAMS
Intensified Environmental Protection: Clean Air
Priority Activities:
Three sub-programs:
(1) Motor Vehicle Emission Management Program
(2) Industrial Emission Management Program
(3) Roadside ambient and general ambient air monitoring.
Priority Activities:
Water classification
a very important component of water quality management
since the application of effluent standards are dependent on this
classification. The classification of waterbodies helps water managers
and planners to develop proper water quality management programs
and provide the standards to protect aquatic life and human use of
specific water bodies. Operationalization of water quality
management areas (WQMAs) will also be prioritized.
PRIORITY PROGRAMS
Enhanced Biodiversity Conservation
Priority Activities:
Priority Activities:
Geohazard Assessment
-The National Geohazard Assessment Program was implemented to generate
information on susceptibility of areas to geologic hazards. The assessment is focused on rain-
induced landslides, floods, flashfloods, ground subsidence or sinking, and other forms of slope
instabilities that are not directly induced by earthquakes or volcanic activities.
-Complementation activities are carried out with other national government agencies
to address other hazards that are also of critical importance in terms of impact. For Y2015 and
onwards, the Program will concentrate on the massive campaign to disseminate the digitized
geohazards map sheets (at 1:10,000 scale) to 42,029 (NSO 2014) barangays nationwide
complemented with massive information and awareness campaigns on geohazards mitigation
and reduction.
-These shall integrate climate change impact and establishment of community-based
early warning systems.
Geo-hazard, Groundwater Assessment and Responsible Mining
