ABSTRACT
As scientists refine our understanding of global warming and climate change, sea levels are on the rise, global temperatures continue to increase, and prolonged drier or wetter spells continue to wreak havoc in many countries. Increasingly, many countries and populations are not able to cope with impacts of a rapidly changing climate. Less developed and developing countries now have to contend with the potential impacts of a warmer climate — in addition to dealing with their domestic economic development, national security threats, and other problems. Among these countries is the Philippines.
