Abstract

The presentation describes the complexity of impacts of climate change in the Philippines and in particular Metro Manila, as derived from combinations and compound effects of pre-existing vulnerabilities. Poverty, inequality and social exclusion also determine the most vulnerable groups and their ecological and environmental vulnerability of place. Photos depict graphically the effects of floods, typhoons and sea level rise on the geographical vulnerability of the islands of the Philippines. Presentation information encompasses the complexity of inter-related systems (institutional, socio-economical, geographical, climactic) that will underpin any plans for climate change adaptation.
