This document summarizes workshops to update members of the Regional Advisory Council (RAC) on the Regional Environment Agenda (REA) and National Environment Agenda (NEA) in the Philippines. It identifies priority environmental issues in the Luzon region such as unsustainable agriculture and mining. The RAC agreed the NEA should include solutions in addition to issues and use consistent language. A second workshop will clarify the RAC's role in governance and planning processes, with questions on new roles and strategies to carry them out.
