2011-2028

2011-2028 . FOREWORD. The manifestations of climate change in the form of rising temperature, variability of precipitation, frequency and intensity of typhoons, sea level rise, and the risks of more droughts, floods, heat waves, and forest and grassland fires have impacts on the economy, environment and communities. Given its geographical location, archipelagic formation in the tropical Pacific, and population distribution, the Philippines is greatly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change, and has already experienced noticeable adverse effects in recent years. Without concerted global and local action, the challenges the country will face as a result of climate change are expected to intensify in the medium or long term. In response to what has essentially become a global crisis, the government has enacted the Climate Change Act (Republic Act 9729) that provides the policy framework with which to systematically address the growing threats on community life and its impact on the environment.
