Climate Change and Resilience of Filipinos

Many Filipinos’ lives are deeply affected by environmental changes, often caused by a mix of human activities and natural factors. Cutting down forests for farming or development harms ecosystems, reduces wildlife, and increases the chances of floods and soil erosion. Rapid urban growth without proper planning creates overcrowded cities with poor waste, water, and energy systems, leading to pollution and unsafe living conditions.

Climate change worsens these problems. Rising temperatures, stronger typhoons, and longer droughts, water, and livelihoods, especially for farmers and fisher folk. Coastal communities are at risk from rising sea levels, which cause floods and destroy homes and jobs. On top of this, natural disasters like earthquakes and volcanic eruptions add to the struggles, making it harder for people to recover.

Solutions require urgent action focused on sustainability and resilience. Replanting forests, enforcing stricter environmental laws, and investing in clean energy can reduce human impact. Building disaster-resistant infrastructure and improving early warning systems can save lives during calamities. By working together through community efforts, education, and government support, the Philippines can reduce these risks and create a safer, healthier future for everyone.

There were moments when I felt completely overwhelmed, especially when juggling multiple deadlines or tackling tough science topics. There were days when I doubted myself, wondering if I could get everything done. These challenges pushed me to my limits but also taught me a lot about resilience. To navigate these tough times, I learned to break things down into smaller, manageable steps. Instead of...
