RESILIENCY IS NEED TO OVERCOME CLIMATE CHANGE^^

Climate change refers to long-term shifts in temperatures and weather patterns. Such shifts can be natural, due to changes in the sun’s activity or large volcanic eruptions. But since the 1800s, human activities have been the main driver of climate change, primarily due to the burning of fossil fuels like coal, oil, and gas.

This phenomenon has a big impact on all Filipinos. But this is where Filipinos are being tested for their resiliency. By facing all the phenomena like intense typhoons, rising sea levels, and increasing temperatures, the resiliency of all Filipinos is tested. It also has an impact on our agriculture, with disruptions to crop production due to changing rainfall and pests, but they still get up and try to plant again until they have a good harvest.

The Philippines is the third most vulnerable country to climate change, according to the 2017 World Risk Report. Impacts of climate change in the Philippines are immense, including annual losses in GDP, changes in rainfall patterns and distribution, droughts, threats to biodiversity and food security, sea level rise, public health risks, and endangerment of vulnerable groups such as women and indigenous people.
