CLIMATE CHANGE
Our country is the most
disaster-prone countries as cited from a recently released Mortality Risk Index
by the United Nation’s International Strategy for Disaster Reduction.
In addition the Philippines rank
as 12th among 200 countries mostly at risk from tropical cyclones
and floods. As proven, the Philippines is indeed in a disaster set up after the
devastation of typhoons Ondoy and Pepeng in the NCR and the rest of Luzon. And
now the super typhoon Yolanda who destroyed Tacloban and Leyte. Due the
abnormal condition of our weather nowadays, this is believed brought to by
climate change. As a counter measure to adapt to climate change, Senator Loren
Legarda authored and filed a bill entitled “Climate Change Act 2009.” This
leads our creation of a permanent commission who will be uncharged of
formulating programs, pocilities and framework on disaster risk reduction and
climate change adaption and will help the local government in times of
calamities.
Due to this climate change many
properties and lives are destroyed and we should always be ready and prepare
ourselves everytime.
