Butuan City is stepping up efforts to build a greener, more resilient urban future through expanded tree-growing programs, zero-waste barangay initiatives, and waterway conservation. These efforts align with global goals for sustainable cities and climate adaptation.
The goal: a Butuan that breathes — a city that protects its people from flooding, empowers its communities, and preserves its identity amid rapid development.
Across the Caraga Region, Butuan is emerging as a leader in local climate resilience. Initiatives are being implemented to protect vulnerable farmlands, improve urban drainage systems, and reduce waste at the community level. These actions are part of a broader push to adapt to changing climate conditions while ensuring long-term sustainability.
The city’s commitment to environmental sustainability goes beyond compliance. It reflects a vision of a healthier, safer, and more livable Butuan — one that thrives not only today, but in the decades to come.
