The Philippines, the world’s most disaster-prone country, faces increasing threats from climate change-driven extreme weather. Advances in attribution science now allow scientists to quantify climate change’s role in intensifying typhoons, floods, and droughts.
For the Philippines, this research is crucial. As one of the most climate-vulnerable nations, understanding these links can improve disaster preparedness and response. The Department of Science and Technology (DOST) is already leveraging science and technology through initiatives like Handa Pilipinas to enhance resilience.
By embracing these scientific insights, the Philippines can develop more effective strategies to protect communities and infrastructure from climate-induced disasters.
