Adaptation and Mitigation

Improving Resiliency:
Addressing the
Threat of
Climate Change
The increasing occurrence and
intensity of typhoons and droughts
over the last 20 years has put the
spotlight on climate change and
how it can severely affect the way
Filipinos go about with their daily
lives.
TYPHOON

The occurrence of super typhoons
and other extreme weather patterns
are expected to become more
prevalent in the future as the world
continues to struggle with the
immediate and long-term effects of
climate change.

Human activities that lead to the increase

in concentration of greenhouse gases
(GHGs) include:

Worldwide deforestation (1 tree offsets

10kg CO2/year, 10 trees/ car
Increasing industrial activity
Motor vehicle emission
Waste management practices
Intensive agriculture
