The Philippines
Philippines' Climate Change Overview and Commitments
The Philippines, a lower-middle-income developing country with a population of 108.7 million, is extremely vulnerable to climate-related and geological hazards. Located in the Pacific Ring of Fire and Tropical Cyclone belt, the country experiences around 20 tropical cyclones yearly and frequent seismic activity, leading to significant economic losses—about 0.5% of its GDP annually. Major events like Super Typhoon Haiyan in 2013 caused damage equating to 4% of the country’s GDP. These disasters highlight the increasing challenges the Philippines faces in climate resilience, recovery, and adaptation, especially with an aging infrastructure and vulnerabilities in agriculture, health, and food security.
