Climate change is now an immediate reality affecting the lives of many Filipinos, not just a future concern. The Philippines is among the countries most at risk from climate change, experiencing not only severe weather events such as typhoons and droughts but also significant disturbances to its ecosystems, economy, and communities. For Filipinos, climate change is not just about its environmental effects but also about their survival. The geographic location of the Philippines poses a major challenge. The nation is located in the Pacific Ring of Fire, which means it is at great risk for seismic and climate-related incidents like typhoons, floods, and landslides. Now, the country faced numerous destructive typhoons, like Typhoon Pepito, leading to significant damage, particularly places like Ilocos Sur. The severe events are made worse by higher sea levels, alterations in precipitation trends, and heightened temperatures, all connected to climate change. Many Filipinos have to face challenges that result in the loss of their homes, livelihoods, and lives.
Despite those challenges, Filipinos have shown impressive resilience in dealing with the impacts of climate change. Foe a better a future we must need a unity to make our mother earth healthy.
