Abstract
This paper determined the level of awareness of Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) beneficiaries on Climate Change and their level of participation in climate change adaptation and mitigation. The study is anchored on the Theory of Planned Behavior. The study utilized a descriptive survey method. The participants of the study are sixty-one (61) 4Ps Parent-Leaders from the twenty-two (22) barangays of Municipality of Llanera, Nueva Ecija. The results showed that 4Ps beneficiaries are aware of the effects of climate change but their participation to adapt and mitigate its effects are not always observed due to inadequate resources, technology and lack of support from the local government. The study showed the need to evaluate the 4Ps beneficiaries on the application of Family Development Session topics regarding Climate Change. The study may provide baseline data for the formulation of local policies and programs for participatory climate change adaptation and mitigation.

Summary
Conditional Cash Transfer Programs are initiated by many countries to alleviate poverty. The Philippines has its own version of conditional cash transfer which is the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program or ‘4Ps’ (Reyes, Taguba, Mina, and Asis, 2015). The Philippine government through the Department of Social Welfare Development (DSWD) executed the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program in 2008 which invests in the healthcare and education of poor eligible households and by improving the human capital. In order for the beneficiaries to receive the cash grant, there are some conditions set by the government which includes the compliance on health and education of the children beneficiaries as well as the attendance of the parents during Family Development Sessions (FDS). The topics discussed are related to health, education, disaster risk reduction and management, family values, and environmental management
