Climate Change in the

Philippines. A Growing
Concern.
Summary: The Philippines is highly
vulnerable to the impacts of climate
change due to its tropical climate,
extensive coastline, and frequent
natural disasters. The country faces
rising temperatures, more intense
typhoons, prolonged droughts, and
unpredictable rainfall, which disrupt
agriculture and food security. Coastal
communities are particularly at risk
from rising sea levels, threatening
livelihoods and ecosystems like coral
reefs and mangroves. The Philippine
government has implemented policies
such as the Climate Change Act and
the National Climate Change Action
Plan to address climate change, while
also engaging in international climate
agreements. Local communities are
also adapting through climate-resilient
infrastructure and sustainable
practices. However, combating
climate change requires global
cooperation, as it is too vast for any
nation to address alone.
