G. Moreno, Frede and Brique, John Michael (2024): An Analytical Assessment of Policy and Regulatory Frameworks for Green and Digital Transitions in Zamboanga City, Philippines.

Abstract

This research manuscript evaluates the effectiveness of local policies and regulations aimed at fostering environmental sustainability and technological innovation. The research investigates key policies governing green and digital transitions, assesses their alignment with national and international standards, and identifies institutional barriers impeding their implementation. Through a comprehensive analysis, the study highlights that while Zamboanga City's frameworks demonstrate a commitment to sustainability and technological advancement, they face challenges such as fragmented governance and limited resources. Strategies proposed to enhance policy coherence and regulatory effectiveness include improving inter-agency coordination, strengthening institutional capacities, and adopting an integrated policy approach. The findings offer critical insights into the existing policy landscape, providing a foundation for enhancing regulatory frameworks to better support green and digital transitions. This research contributes to the broader discourse on sustainable urban development by offering actionable recommendations to address identified gaps and optimize policy effectiveness in Zamboanga City.
