The Vigan Environment Code is the City Council's response to the global concern on climate change. Every human being in this planet has to make a contibution no matter how small it is, to address global warming and environmental degradation. Vigan has been known for its efforts in protecting its rich heritage. Unkown to many, Environmental Protection goes hand in hand with Heritage Conservation. Nature is a part of our heritage. The seas, rivers, trees, the air that we breathe, the flora and fauna and our biodiversity form part of what we call NATURAL HERITAGE. Hence, heritage conservation covers environmental protection.
The environment code is a major piece of legislation which seeks to institutionalize local environmental policies. It complements the City environmental plan and outlines the priority areas which needs to be protected. Issues on Integrated Solid Waste Management, Water Resources, Land Resources, Forest Resources, Mineral Resources, Coastal Management, Air Quality, Biodiversity, Fisheries and Aquatic Resources, and Environmental Information and Education among others are hereby dealt with extensively.
Make a difference, be a steward of the environment!
