In August 2023, the CC launched its own Carbon Neutrality Program titled the CCC Net Zero Challenge (NZC) in Caliraya-Lumot Watershed. The NZC aims to significantly offset the agency’s carbon emissions and serves as CC’s pioneer program in translating critical policy instruments, such as the National Strategy Framework for Climate Change (NFSCC), National Climate Change Action Plan (NCCAP), and the Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) into action.

Likewise, the NZC will complement disaster risk reduction and management by planting and growing trees. These trees will eventually help to modulate soil movement and stabilize slopes, lowering the risk of landslides and flash floods.

NZC is being implemented in collaboration with the National Power Corporation (NPC) and the Pate Sagip Sigla Palay Farmers Association, Inc. This multi-stakeholder partnership involves communities, with their people’s organization as partners in site preparation and maintenance, giving them equitable benefits such as livelihood opportunities and ecological services from the activity.

Under the NZC, the Commission will plant 15,625 seedlings on 25 hectares of land in the Caliraya-Lumot Watershed in the municipalities of Lumban, Kalayaan, and Cavinti, Laguna, with a total carbon sequestration potential of 75.5 tCO2 from 2023 to 2027.

The Commission also welcomes partnership opportunities to implement NZC in more local government units, encouraging collaboration and promoting sustainable development nationwide.

The second tree-growing activity for the NZC will kick off this year’s Climate Change Consciousness Week on 19 November 2023, with the aim to enhance GHG sinks and reservoirs to contribute to meeting the NDC under the Paris Agreement.

The activity targets to plant 625 seedlings in one (1) hectare of land in Caliraya-Lumot Watershed with an average carbon sequestration potential of 3.02 tCO2. 300 seedlings will be planted by the event participants, while the remaining 325 seedlings will be planted by Paete Sagip Sigla Palay Farmers Association, Inc.

Further, the event aims to engage stakeholders to raise their consciousness on the global goal of reaching net zero emissions to curb climate change.
