%X The paper dealt with the Environment Code of the Province of Ilocos Sur 16-07A, Articles III & VII, Forest Resources, and Coastal and Inland Water Resources respectively. The study sought to assess the Code to determine if the current ideals of mitigating the causes of climate change are precisely aligned to the attainment of the Intended Nationally Determined Contribution (INDC), and realization of Sustainable Development Goals 13 - Climate Action (SDG). The study used qualitative thematic and PESTEL analyses particularly the hybrid approach via structural and value types of coding. The analyses aimed to understand the existing life-worldĄŻs events, relationships, and processes. The results of the classifications of the coded interview with the use of PESTEL analysis conglomerated into the following five (5) themes; 1) weak enforcement and governance, 2) insufficient budget, 3) designated job appointments of MENROs, 4) backlog environment services, and 5) high climate risk. The themes necessitate the occurrence of triangular effect that brings forth a reflexive identity for the amendment or development of the Code to a more responsive policy towards sustainable climate conditions.
