Climate change is a major issue in the Philippines, causing sudden and long-term changes in the environment that greatly affect Filipinos’ lives. The country often faces strong typhoons, rising sea levels, and unpredictable weather, which are worsened by climate change.

One main cause is the release of too many greenhouse gases due to activities like deforestation, pollution, and burning fossil fuels. Locally, problems such as illegal logging, poor waste management, and unplanned urbanization make things worse, leading to floods and environmental damage.

These changes harm people’s livelihoods, especially farmers and fisherfolk, by destroying crops, damaging homes, and disrupting food supplies. The rising temperatures and changing weather also cause health issues, like heat-related illnesses and the spread of diseases.

To cope with these challenges, Filipinos need to adopt sustainable practices, prepare better for disasters, and support solutions to reduce and adapt to climate change. By working together, we can protect the environment and secure a safer future for everyone.
