The Philippines, an archipelagic nation, is highly vulnerable to climate change due to increasing frequency and intensity of extreme weather events. Rising sea surface temperatures fuel these calamities, causing catastrophic loss of lives, homes, and livelihoods. Sea level rise leads to flooding, coastal erosion, and saltwater intrusion, exacerbated poverty, and disrupts agricultural productivity. Deforestation and poor land management contribute to environmental degradation, reducing natural barriers against disasters. Addressing these challenges requires robust policies, community-led initiatives, and international cooperation to build adaptive capacities and ensure a sustainable future for the nation.
