"Climate change"
change of climate
directly
means a

or
attributed
indirectly to human activity
composition
atmosphere
that alters the
of the global
and which is in addition to
natural
observed
climate
over
variability
comparable
time periods.
IPCC
Climate change in IPCC
usage refers to a change in
the state of the climate that
can be identified (e.g. using
statistical tests) by changes
in the mean and/or the
variability of its properties,
and that persists for an
extended period, typically
decades or longer.
RA 9729
“Climate Change” refers to a
change in climate that can
be identified by changes in
the mean and/or variability
of its properties and that
persists for an extended
period
longer,
natural
whether due
variability or as
typically decades or
to
a
result of human activity.

Philippine
Climate Risk
Profile
A combination of political, geographic,
and social factors, the Philippines is
recognized as vulnerable to climate
change impacts, ranked 114th out of
181 countries in the 2020 ND-GAIN
Index.
The ND-GAIN
countries using
Index ranks
a score
181
which
calculates a country’s vulnerability to
climate change and other global
challenges as well as their readiness
to improve resilience. The more
vulnerable a country is the lower their
score, while the more ready a country
is to improve its resilience the higher
it will be

and Disaster
Vulnerability
Gender
Vector-borne diseases
Infectious Diseases
Cardio-respiratory illnesses
Nutrition
Sanitation
Many of the climate changes
projected are likely to
disproportionately affect the
poorest groups in society and may
exacerbate this trend
It is often the poor who are most
exposed to its numerous natural
hazards
Research provided more evidence
that the effects are not gender
neutral
Women and children are among
the highest risk groups
Impacts of natural hazards affect
more women than men, and tend to
affect women at a younger age.

Key Factors:Gender

29. Submission of Gender Action Plan to
the UNFCCC
Submission of Sex-disaggregated
data, gender analysis (Information on
the differentiated impacts of climate
change on women and men, with
special attention paid to local
communities and indigenous peoples)
Integration of gender considerations
into adaptation, mitigation, capacity-
building, Action for Climate
Empowerment, technology and
finance policies, plans and actions;
and
Climate Action and
Gender

30. Systematic integration of gender-
sensitive and participatory education,
training, public awareness, public
participation and public access to
information
Climate Change Commission, has
issued Resolution 2019-001 on the
implementation of the National
Climate Risk Management
Framework, which aims to
systematically identify, quantify and
address the country’s climate change
risks as a basis for systematic
anticipatory climate change
adaptation
Climate Action and
Gender

31. Climate Change Commission has
issued Resolution 2019-02 to
strengthen gender-based approaches
in the formulation and implementation
of climate change policies, plans,
programs, and activities in the
country, including the generation of
sex-disaggregated data and conduct
of gender analysis.
