Our Palawan 2016

To serve as “blueprint” to Palawan and Puerto Princesa City’s “green economy”, and consistent to the United Nation’s New Sustainable Development Goals (Agenda 2030), the Palawan Sustainable Development Agenda (Palawan Agenda 2016-2030) and its corresponding Palawan Sustainable Development Strategy and Action Plan (PSDSAP 2015-2020) was formulated to envision “A Good and Dignified Life Enjoyed by Palawan, through the Pursuit of an Ecologically-Balanced and Biodiversity-Centered Economic Development Supported by Green Jobs and Sustainable Energy”. It is made up of four components to attain its vision: i). Environmental/ ecological stability and continuous formation of natural capital; ii). Economic wealth created and equitably distributed; iii). Social and cultural capital protected, developed, and enhanced; and iv). Rights-based governance in place to facilitate sustainable development. In response to the call for action to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure that all people enjoy peace and prosperity, and to support the attainment of sustainable development in Palawan and Puerto Princesa City, the PCSD adopted the Palawan Sustaina- ble Development Agenda (PSDA 2016-2030) through Resolution No.16-566 on 18 November 2016. It will serve as “blueprint” for Palawan Green Economy, as well as basis for identifying research and sustainable development thrusts and priorities in Palawan and Puerto Princesa City. A longlist of priority researches identified by key academic institutions in collaboration with PCSDS is an integral part of the Palawan Sustainable Development Agenda.
