It faces an average of 20 tropical cyclones every year. In 2020, the country endured 23 tropical storms and 10 typhoons, the first of which, Typhoon Vongfong, caused an estimated $30.8 million of damage to agriculture alone. Rehabilitation efforts coincided with the Covid-19 outbreak, and budgetary resources were stretched as the country grappled with Vongfong\u2019s devastation alongside rising infections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>The entire country is highly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change, but among the

Secretary Dominguez recently unveiled a revamped National Panel of Technical Experts of the Climate Change Commission comprising 16 Filipino experts who will engage local communities in mitigation and adaptation.<br><br>\u201cWe are now in the business of implementing concrete projects and programs to build the resilience of our communities, reverse the degradation, and protect our vital food sources,\u201d he said at the event. \u201cWhat is global must now be addressed at the local level. What was theoretical now demands practical applications on the ground.\u201d<br><br>The Philippines\u2019 national vision is to remain resilient in the face of the global climate crisis, and it understands that building back after each disaster is not a scalable strategy. Hence, it has demanded climate justice and mitigation go hand-in-hand, with nations that contribute the most to global warming bearing the greater burden of countering its effects and the most vulnerable ones receiving urgent financing support.<br><br>At the same time, on the national level, championing the fight for environmental protection on the individual and governmental fronts will be key. The government will need to invest in infrastructure to preserve livelihoods and reduce disruption in the daily lives of Filipinos.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p><span style=\"color:#000000\" class=\"color\">All of us play an indispensable role in this battle against the climate crisis.
