Climate change impacts and the Philippines

With climate change will come water shortages and decreases in agricultural productivity and food security.  Our health will be threatened by heat stress and increased chances of exposure to infectious diseases.  Those living in low-lying coastal areas may become climate refugees as their homes are destroyed.  And tourism, an important source of income for many, will decline.

Climate change will also bring more extreme weather, from floods to droughts, forest fires to tropical cyclones.  As extreme climate events increase in strength and frequency, more and more people will risk losing their homes and lives.
