A report from the Philippine Climate Change Assessment reveals a significant increase in ‘Christmas typhoons’ and tropical cyclone-induced rainfall in the country over recent decades, with scientists attributing these trends to human-induced climate change. Faye Cruz, climate scientist and Manila Observatory regional climate systems laboratory head, said at a press briefing that one study the report examined tracked “Christmas typhoons,” named for their tendency to occur from December to February. The 2021 study found a 210 per cent increase in Christmas typhoons nationwide since 2012. This trend is more pronounced in southern Philippines, which saw a 480 per cent increase. The PhilCCA authors also said that tropical cyclone-induced rainfall in the Philippines saw significant increases since 2000, ranging from 16.9 per cent to 19.3 per cent per decade.

🚨 Los países vulnerables al clima soportamos los impactos de la crisis climática de primera mano, le hacemos frente a sequías prolongadas y ciclones tropicales más intensos, incluso con recursos limitados. Es por esto que NO podemos permitirnos promesas incumplidas. Hoy hacemos un llamado a la acción por la justicia y la supervivencia 🙌🏽, mostrando cuáles son los pilares de acción para la #COP29 que pueden acelerar la transformación hacia un futuro bajo en emisiones y resiliente al clima. 📄 Call to action aquí: https://lnkd.in/dufPEArr ☝🏼En alianza con: World Resources Institute, Power Shift Africa, Manila Observatory, International Centre for Climate Change and Development (ICCCAD), Center for Climate Change & Development, Caribbean Community Climate Change Centre (CCCCC) #ACT2025 #FinanciamientoClimático | Alejandra Lopez Carbajal
Climate-vulnerable developing countries have long called for meaningful climate finance to carry out emissions reduction plans and build resilience against climate change impacts. COP29 in Azerbaijan is an opportunity to answer those calls, by adopting a new global climate finance goal for the first time in 15 years. Join the #ACT2025 consortium on May 22 for a high-level webinar to discuss these issues and offer solutions: https://bit.ly/3UCRatc

Quite the busy day last week for RENDER and the Manila Observatory’s Klima Center. 🌏 We had one of our RENDER Kapehans ☕️ an open and innovative Climate & Energy lecture model involving students, scientists, policy workers, and CSOs; this one specifically was led by Dr. Josef Yap on climate-friendly energy transition 🔋 Afterwards, we had a pleasant poetry reading by Bern de Belen and Anjanette Cayabyab 💟 In the evening, we received a group of journalists with Climate Tracker to tour them around MO and talk about our history with the UNFCCC process 🎋 To more of this productive climate work; learning, loving, and connecting, sana maulit!

Yesterday, ISEA President, Dr. Marie Lisa Dacanay and ISEA Fellow Jay Lacsamana met Manila Observatory (MO) Executive Director Jose Ramon Villarin SJ and MO Associate Director and KLIMA Head, Dr. Antonio La Viña to present the results of an action research on “Exploring Social Entrepreneurship as Framework for the Livelihood Component of the Loss and Damage Pillar of Climate Action”. This is a collaboration project between Manila Observatory and ISEA and we look forward to piloting the SE tools we enhanced and recommended towards Transformative Adaptation and Economic Development. #SocEntAsiaPacific #SocEntAsia #SocialEnterprise #SocialEntrepreneurship #ClimateAction
