III. LESSON PROPER

DEFINITION OF CLIMATE CHANGE

Climate change is the most serious and most pervasive

threat facing humanity today. The Intergovernmental Panel on

Climate Change, the highest scientific body responsible for

evaluating the risk of climate change, reported that warming of the

earth’s surface is unequivocal. If left uncontrolled, impacts of

climate change to human and nature are unprecedented and will

continuously affect lives of future generations.

The Philippines is a climate hotspot, vulnerable to some of

the worst manifestations of climate change. As a developing
country, with very little access to vital resources, it has a low
ability to adapt and a lower ability to cope with disasters brought
about by climate change impacts. Recurring typhoons, increase in
precipitation that is experienced by certain regions in the country,
sea level rise is a major treat to marine ecosystems and to coastal
human populations and their livelihoods. It also threatens the
country’s rich cultural heritage as well as some of the rarest and
most diverse fragile ecosystems in the world.
According to NASA’s definition of climate change, it is “a
broad range of global phenomena created predominantly by
burning fossil fuels, which add heat-trapping gases to Earth’s
atmosphere. These phenomena include the increased
temperature trends described by global warming, but also
encompass changes such as sea-level rise; ice mass loss in
Greenland, Antarctica, the Arctic and mountain glaciers
worldwide; shifts in flower/plant blooming; and extreme weather
events.”
Furthermore, according to National Geographic, climate
change is the long-term alteration of temperature and normal
weather patterns in a place. This could refer to a particular
location or the planet as a whole. Climate change is currently
occurring throughout the world as a result of global warming.

CAUSES OF CLIMATE CHANGE

The main causes of climate change are:

1. Humanity’s increased use of fossil fuels – such as coal, oil, and

gas to generate electricity, run cars and other forms of transport,

PANGASINAN STATE UNIVERSITY 4

 NSTP II SKELETAL WRITTEN REPORT (GROUP 2)

and power manufacturing and industry.

2. Deforestation – because living trees absorb and store carbon
dioxide
3. Increasingly intensive agriculture – which emits greenhouse
gases like methane and nitrous oxide.

EFFECTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE

The higher the temperature increase, the worse the impact

on the planet. Serious environmental and social knock-on effects
are also as follows:
 changing weather patterns
 floods
 rising sea levels
 mass migration
 increasing frequency and/or severity of droughts
 climate-related illnesses and diseases
 danger to ecosystem
 biodiversity

SOLUTIONS TO CLIMATE CHANGE

However, we have a chance to take action and prevent the

worst impacts of climate change such as:
➡️5Rs (Refuse, Reuse, Reduce, Recycle, Repurpose)

➡️Nature Based Solutions

Nature plays a major role in regulating the climate by storing
carbon dioxide. By conserving forests and wetlands, adding
regenerative practices to agriculture and planting trees, we're
unleashing nature's full potential to stabilize the climate.

PANGASINAN STATE UNIVERSITY 5

➡️Promoting Smart Clean Energy Policies

As global energy demands continue to rise, we’re working
with governments to show how renewable energy can grow
economies while reducing carbon emissions.

➡️Building Resilience
We’re helping the most vulnerable communities adapt to
climate change by restoring habitats, such as mangroves that
reduce the impact of severe storms.

➡️Inspiring Productive Conversations

We encourage people to talk more frequently and
constructively about global warming so we can build a stronger
common ground to halt climate change.

REPUBLIC ACT 9729

In connection with this, the Congress of the Philippines

implemented the Republic Act 9729 also known as Climate
Change Act of 2009. It is "AN ACT MAINSTREAMING CLIMATE
CHANGE INTO GOVERNMENT POLICY FORMULATIONS,
ESTABLISHING THE FRAMEWORK STRATEGY AND
PROGRAM ON CLIMATE CHANGE, CREATING FOR THIS
PURPOSE THE CLIMATE CHANGE COMMISSION, AND FOR
OTHER PURPOSES". This Act which is a consolidation of Senate
Bill No. 2583 and House Bill No. 5982 was finally passed by the
Senate and the House of Representatives on August 25, 2009
and September 2, 2009 and was approved October 23, 2009 in
Metro Manila by the President of the Philippines at that time,
Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo.

CONCLUSION

If we act now, climate change can be slowed, or even paused

– to an extent. It's also important to know how much damage is
being done to the environment through food waste. It creates 6
times the carbon emissions as global aviation. So, let’s change
the way we live, move towards zero carbon living, and encourage
others to do the same.

The Climate Change Act was enacted to protect the right of

the people to a balance and healthful ecology. The law serves as
an action plan that lays out the strategies, initiatives, and activities
to prepare the country to the inevitable effects of climate change.
Both the identified mitigation and adaptation strategies aimed to
build a more climate-risk resilient Philippines. In the end,
achieving the goals of the plans as stipulated in R.A. 9729 is
deemed attainable with the support and assistance of all
stakeholders to include among others the national and local
government units, the private sector, the NGOs, and the local
communities.
