Climate Change: The Local Scenario

* Online Learning:

I learned that The Philippines is now facing the very real impacts of climate change, which threaten to undermine our development prospects and exacerbate the vulnerability of our poorer communities. With projected changes in precipitation, temperature, intensity of tropical cyclones and frequency of extreme weather events, considerable efforts would be required to prepare the Philippines in dealing with the impacts of climate change on the different climate-sensitive sectors. Adaptation will be an integral part of our response to the threats of climate change.

It is important that we have a scientific basis for adaptation and vulnerability assessment studies. This Report provides us with the opportunity to understand the future changes in climate and how these changes will affect the Philippines in the future. It also illustrates the impacts of climate change on agriculture, human health, water, coastal, and forestry resources as well as adaptation efforts in each sector. 

 Climate Change in the Philippines is an important document to guide decision-makers in strategic

planning and policy formulation.

 

~* Online Activities:

I watched a video from the Philippines' Climate Change Academy (CCA) and presentations on Climate Change from UNESCO and CCA.

 

~* Online Collaboration:

I have participated in our online discussion by doing and absorbing the relevant tasks given to us and applying it to everyday life. Also, by sharing my knowledge about it to other people.
