Resiliency of the Filipinos Through the Demands of Climate Change

 Draft #2: Climate Change and Resiliency of Filipinos. 

As we all know that climate change has become a pressing issue in the  Philippines for it's highly vulnerable to natural disasters due to its geographical location. The increased frequency and intensity of typhoons have had devastating effects on the massive destruction and loss of life such as the extreme weather events becoming more common and highlighting the urgent need for improved disaster preparedness for the safety and protection of our community.

Furthermore, we know that deforestation and land degradation are environmental challenges faced by the Philippines. Additionally, illegal logging and the conversion of forests have led to significant loss of biodiversity and increased  vulnerability to landslides and soil erosion. These environmental challenges often results in poor waste management and increased pollution. Managing these problems requires a collaborative effort to enforce environmental regulations.

Besides deforestation,land degradation, illegal logging and the conversion of forests, the rising of sea levels is another threat to the Philippines that coastal communities are particularly at risk of flooding that can lead to the loss of livelihoods. It also adversely affects the agricultural and fishery sectors that are vital to the local economy. 

As these sea levels continue to rise, the need for sustainable coastal management would become  increasingly critical.

Regardless of these challenges, the resilience of the Filipino people still radiates through. People in the community have shown astonishing adaptability in the face of misfortune in their life, with efforts to improve disaster preparedness and response. Continued support from both the government and international community is crucial to ensure that the Philippines can build a imperishable and persistent future for the people.
