Local Government Policies The mandate for environmental management at the subnational level of government derives from the environmental codes of the LGUs (provinces, municipalities, and cities). The LGU environmental codes are based on the provisions of the Philippine Constitution and on Sec. 3 (i) of RA 7160 (Local Government Code of 1991), which states that “Local Government Units shall share with the national government the responsibility in the management and maintenance of ecological balance within their territorial jurisdiction, subject to the provisions of this Code and national policies.” Co-management by LGUs is sought in the implementation of national policies for the following, among others: (a) forest resources management; (b) biodiversity protection and cultural resources preservation; (c) mineral resources management; (d) water resources management; (e) solid waste management; (f) air pollution control; (g) water pollution control; (h) environmental assessment and monitoring;
