“Filipino resilience must include the ability to recover, adapt and more importantly, transform. This transformation will only be possible with the cooperation of all sectors of society, government, non-government, industry, academe, media, utilities, health, and others.”

The Philippines is rich in natural beauty and economic potential — yet it remains among the most disaster-prone nations in the world. With stronger typhoons, sea-level rise, and rapid urban development in vulnerable areas, climate risks are escalating faster than ever.

This animated lecture — based on research findings from the Coastal Cities at Risk in the Philippines (CCARPH) project — explains how hazard exposure, vulnerable living conditions, and limited capacity increase disaster risks for millions of Filipinos. It emphasizes the importance of strengthening communities so they can bounce forward together after shocks and stresses brought by climate change.
