Overall Summary: 
The National Climate Change Action Plan (NCCAP) 2011-2028 was formulated outlining the country’s agenda for adaptation and mitigation for 2011 to 2028 following the adoption of the National Framework Strategy on Climate Change (NFSCC) in 2010. The NCCAP outlines the specific programs and strategies for adaptation and mitigation for 2011 to 2028. It is a comprehensive plan that provides key actions that: • enhances adaptive capacity and resilience of communities and natural ecosystems to climate change. • adopts the total economic valuation of natural resources while ensuring biodiversity conservation. • recognizes the competitive advantage of putting value on the direct use, indirect use, option to use and non-use of environment and natural resources, as a short to long-term sustainable development goal.
Efficiency
EE priorities: 
NCCAP prioritizes the promotion and expansion of energy efficiency and conservation; the development of sustainable and renewable energy; environmentally sustainable transport; and climate-proofing and rehabilitation of energy systems infrastructures.
EE action plans: 
Immediate outcome: Nationwide energy efficiency and conservation program promoted and implemented. Outputs: 1.1. Government Energy Management Program (GEMP) implemented. Activities: 1.1.1. Mandatory implementation of AO 110 and AO 126 directing the institutionalization of Government Energy Management Program (GEMP). Outputs: 1.2. Increased in the private sector and community participation in energy efficiency and conservation. Activities: 1.2.1. Create enabling policies and stable policy environment for energy efficiency and conservation (EE&C). 1.2.2. Forge public-private civil society partnership (PPCSOP) on EE&C and other programs promoting sustainable energy. 1.2.3. Promote market driven demand-side management.
Renewable Energy
RE priorities: 
NCCAP prioritizes the promotion and expansion of energy efficiency and conservation; the development of sustainable and renewable energy; environmentally sustainable transport; and climate-proofing and rehabilitation of energy systems infrastructures.
RE action plans: 
Immediate outcome: Sustainable and renewable energy (SRE) development enhanced. Outputs: 2.1. National renewable energy program and technology roadmap based on RA 9513 and its IRR developed and implemented. Activities: 2.1.1. Develop a national RE program. 2.1.2. Increase generation capacities of RE systems. 2.1.3. Increase R&D on RE. Outputs: 2.2. Off-grid, decentralized community based renewable energy system to generate affordable electricity adopted. Activities: 2.2.1. Increase rate of use of RE systems in the national electrification program. 2.2.2.Increase financing for poverty reduction and conservation in RE host communities.
