INTRODUCTION

Climate change is one of the major problems that our world is facing. The effects

of climate change have harmed several countries. Here in our country climate change has

a big impact, the most recent scientific assessments have confirmed that this warming of

the climate system since the mid-20th century is most likely to be due to human activities;

and thus, is due to the observed increase in greenhouse gas concentrations from human

activities, such as the burning of fossil fuels and land use change.

According to BirdLife International, climate change is largely caused by human

activities, and it presents a serious threat to nature and people now, and in the future.

Without ambitious mitigation efforts, global temperature rises this century could exceed 4

degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels, with catastrophic impacts.

In connection with this is Australia's Destructive Fires that caused the death of

many animal species including their homes which is the forest. The cause of the fires is by

a combination of extreme heat, prolonged drought and strong winds. The country is in the

grip of a heatwave, with record-breaking temperatures over the last three months.

When it comes to the Philippines, The Philippines is highly vulnerable to the

impacts of climate change, including sea level rise, increased frequency of extreme weather

events, rising temperatures and extreme rainfall. This is due to its high exposure to natural

hazards (cyclones, landslides, floods, droughts), dependence on climate-sensitive natural

resources and vast coastlines where all major cities and the majority of the population

reside. The Philippines lies in the world’s most cyclone-prone region, averaging 19–20
cyclones each year, of which 7–9 make landfall. Sea levels in the Philippines are rising

faster than the global average, increasing the hazard posed by storm surges and threatening

permanent inundation of low-lying areas. A rich yet increasingly depleted natural and

marine resources base supports livelihoods through fisheries, agriculture, forestry, energy,

mining and tourism and provides critical ecosystem services such as shoreline protection,

flood control, soil stability and habitats for biodiversity (ATLAS,2018)

Since our government is being alarmed with this problem, the Climate Change

Commission (CCC) called for united action to halt the worsening state of our marine

ecosystems by minimizing plastic pollution. The Philippines is known for its rich marine

ecosystems but is also one of the major sources of plastic trash in the world, contributing

almost three million metric tons of plastic wastes and 500,000 metric tons of plastic waste

leakage per year.

In connection with this, the Ocean Conservancy released a report regarding the top

plastic-waste producers in the world as the Philippines being the top country that produces

large amount of plastic wastes alongside neighboring Asian countries, China, Indonesia,

Vietnam, Sri Lanka and Thailand.

When it comes to the agriculture, climate change has adverse impacts on crop

yields. These yield changes result in reduced supply, higher world commodity prices, and

reduced food consumption. At the same time, higher commodity prices induce higher

levels of farm production, partially offsetting the negative impact of climate change on

yields.
 The researcher was concerned with the problems caused by the Climate change.

With the discovery of the problems like destructive fires, sea level rise, increased frequency

of extreme weather events, rising temperatures and extreme rainfall that caused the damage

of properties and death to many living species. Further research will be done to contribute

possible solution or actions regarding the climate change.

Statement of the Problem

This study will discuss the climate changes and the effects on our world caused the

damage of properties and death to many living species. This aims to cite possible solutions

or actions for the problem. The following are to be answered by the researcher:

1) What are the existing problems caused by the climate change ?

2) How can Climate change affect the following;

a. Agriculture

b. Energy

c. Commercial fishing

d. Beverage industry

3) What are the possible solutions or actions to lessen the effects of climate

change?
Significance of the Study

As years past our environment has been damaged due to the activities of us humans.

Changes has been made for the past years and one of it is the climate change. Climate

change refers to a sweeping change in global climate conditions, including weather

phenomena, temperature, and sea levels. It’s caused by an influx of greenhouse gases,

mostly from fossil fuel emissions around the world. These gases trap heat in the atmosphere

and change weather patterns, warming many areas of the globe and causing erratic season

and weather events.

There have many actions and programs implemented by the government to give

solution to the problem, such as plastic waste disposals, banning of illegal loggings and

other programs to maintain the natural resources of our world.

The researcher recommends more projects and approve more laws regarding our

environment. And also, the responsibility of us humans to maintain ng beauty of our

environment. That can lessen the effects of climate change.

This study could prove to be helpful in knowing and understanding the effects of

climate change on our world. And also can help us humans to be aware of what is

happening to our environment if we continue the activities that damages not only our health

but also the environment.

 DEFINITION OF TERMS

Aggressive - strong or emphatic in effect or intent.

Animal - any of a kingdom (Animalia) of living things including many-celled organisms

and often many of the single-celled ones (such as protozoans) that typically differ from

plants in having cells without cellulose walls, in lacking chlorophyll and the capacity for

photosynthesis, in requiring more complex food materials (such as proteins), in being

organized to a greater degree of complexity, and in having the capacity for spontaneous

movement and rapid motor responses to stimulation.

Behavioral responses- entails the actions and interactions of the person to try to

maintain a balance in the internal body system.

Bodies of water - is any significant accumulation of water, generally on a planet's

surface.

Climate Change - a change in global or regional climate patterns, in particular a change

apparent from the mid to late 20th century onwards and attributed largely to the increased

levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide produced by the use of fossil fuels.

Climate conditions - the composite or generally prevailing weather conditions of a

region, as temperature, air pressure, humidity, precipitation, sunshine, cloudiness, and

winds, throughout the year, averaged over a series of years. a region or area characterized

by a given climate.

Deplete - The use or consumption of a resource, especially a natural resource, faster than

it is replenished.
Disapper - is to vanish, evaporate, or just fade away.

El Niño - an irregularly occurring and complex series of climatic changes affecting the

equatorial Pacific region and beyond every few years, characterized by the appearance of

unusually warm, nutrient-poor water off northern Peru and Ecuador, typically in late

December.

Extinction - is the cessation of existence of a species or group of taxa, reducing

biodiversity.

Wild life - refers to undomesticated animal species, but has come to include all

organisms that grow or live wild in an area without being introduced by humans.
 CHAPTER 2

RELATED LITERATURE AND STUDIES

Local:

The Philippines has long been particularly vulnerable to extreme weather. But in

recent years the nation has suffered from even more violent storms like Typhoon Haiyan.

On average, about 20 tropical cyclones enter Philippine waters each year, with eight or

nine making landfall. And over the past decade, these tropical storms have struck the nation

more often and more severely, scientists believe, because of climate change. In addition,

two factors unique to the Philippines – its geography and development – have combined to

exacerbate both this threat and its devastating consequences.

Based from the article “Climate Change and Effects On The Philippines”, for more

than three decades, scientists around the world have warned of dangerous changes in the

atmosphere. Until recently, those warnings were regarded as uncertain predictions of

possible problems in the distant future.

The ten deadliest typhoons of the Philippines between 1947 and 2014. What’s

alarming is that five of the 10 have occurred since 2006, affecting and displacing thousands

of citizens every time. Seven of these 10 deadly storms each resulted in more than 1,000

casualties. But the deadliest storm on record in the Philippines is Typhoon Haiyan, known

locally as Typhoon Yolanda, which was responsible for more than 6,300 lost lives, over

four million displaced citizens, and $2 billion in damages in 2013.

Although water resources have become scarce in some regions and seasons, the

Philippines as a whole has more than enough surface and groundwater. However,
neglecting to have a coherent environmental policy has led to the contamination of 58% of

the groundwater in the Philippines. The main source of pollution is untreated domestic and

industrial wastewater. Only one third of Philippine river systems are considered suitable

for public water supply.

It is estimated that in 2025, water availability will be marginal in most major cities

and in 8 of the 19 major river basins. Besides severe health concerns, water pollution also

leads to problems in the fishing and tourism industries. The national government

recognized the problem and since 2004 has sought to introduce sustainable water resources

development management.

Over the course of the 20th century the forest cover of the Philippines

dropped from 70 percent down to 20 percent.

In total, 46 species are endangered, and 4 were already eradicated completely. 3.2

percent of total rainforest has been left. Based on an analysis of land use pattern maps and

a road map an estimated 9.8 million ha of forests were lost in the Philippines from 1934 to

1988. Illegal logging occurs in the Philippines and intensify flood damage in some areas.

According to scholar Jessica Mathews, short-sighted policies by the Filipino

government have contributed to the high rate of deforestation. The government regularly

granted logging concessions of less than ten years. Since it takes 30–35 years for a second-

growth forest to mature, loggers had no incentive to replant. Compounding the error, flat

royalties encouraged the loggers to remove only the most valuable species. A horrendous

40 percent of the harvestable lumber never left the forests but, having been damaged in the
logging, rotted or was burned in place. The unsurprising result of these and related policies

is that out of 17 million hectares of closed forests that flourished early in the century only

1.2 million remain today.

Climate change has had and will continue to have drastic effects on the climate of

the Philippines. From 1951-2010, the Philippines saw its average temperature rise by 0.65

degrees Celsius, with fewer recorded cold nights and more hot days. Since the 1970s, the

number of typhoons during the El Niño season has increased. The Philippines has not only

seen 0.15 meters of sea level rise since 1940, but also seen 0.6 to 1-degree Celsius increase

in sea surface temperatures since 1910, and 0.09-degree c increase in ocean temperatures

since 1950. During the time period from 1990 to 2006, the Philippines experienced a

number of record-breaking weather events, including the strongest typhoon (wind speeds),

the most destructive typhoons (damages), the deadliest storm (casualties), and the typhoon

with the highest 24-hour rainfall on record.

And lastly, due to its geographical location, climate, and topography, the

Philippines is ranked third on the World Risk Index for highest disaster risk and exposure

to natural disasters. 16 of its provinces, including Manila, Benguet, and Batanes, are

included in the top 50 most vulnerable places in Southeast Asia, with Manila being ranked

7th. Four cities in the Philippines, Manila, San Jose, Roxas, and Cotaboato, are included in

the top 10 cities most vulnerable to sea level rise in the East Asia and Pacific region.
International:

Climate change will affect individuals and groups differently. Certain groups of

people are particularly sensitive to climate change impacts, such as the elderly, the infirm,

children and pregnant women, native and tribal groups, and low-income populations. It

may also threaten key natural resources, affecting water and food security. Conflicts, mass

migrations, health impacts, or environmental stresses in other parts of the world could raise

economic, health, and national security issues.

Although climate change is an inherently global issue, the impacts will not be felt

equally across the planet. Impacts are likely to differ in both magnitude and rate of change

in different continents, countries, and regions. Some nations will likely experience more

adverse effects than others. Other nations may benefit from climate changes. The capacity

to adapt to climate change can influence how climate change affects individuals,

communities, countries, and the global population.

Climate change is very likely to affect global, regional, and local food security by

disrupting food availability, decreasing access to food, and making utilization more

difficult. Climate risks to food security are greatest for poor populations and in tropical

regions. The potential of climate change to affect global food security is important for food

producers and consumers.

As climate changes, water is very likely to become scarce at least part of the time

in many areas, but more plentiful part of the time in some areas as well. The availability of

water is strongly related to the amount and timing of runoff and precipitation.
 Last year Australia experienced a massive bush fire, n estimated 18 million hectares

of fire has cut swathes through the bush – an area greater than that of the average European

country and over five times the size of blazes in the Amazon. The country known for

climate denial and division, debate has erupted around bushfire management and climate

change. One of these is whether controlled burns are the answer to Australia’s climate-

affected fire conditions.

Climate change is already a reality in Africa. According to the Intergovernmental

Panel on Climate Change, Africa is among the most vulnerable continents to climate

change. The vulnerability of Africa to climate change is driven by a range of factors that

includes weak adaptive capacity, high dependence on ecosystem goods for livelihoods, and

crude agricultural production system. The risks of climate change on agricultural

production, food security, water resources and ecosystem services would likely have severe

consequence on lives and sustainable development prospects in Africa. Managing this risk

requires integration of mitigation and adaptation strategies in the management of

ecosystem goods and services, and the agriculture production systems in Africa.

Over the past 50 years, the west coast of the Antarctic Peninsula has been one of

the most rapidly warming parts of the planet. This warming is not only restricted to the

land but can also be noted in the Southern Ocean. Upper ocean temperatures to the west of

the Antarctic Peninsula have increased over 1°C since 1955. It has now been established

that the Antarctic Circumpolar Current is warming more rapidly than the global ocean as a

whole. Studying climate change in Antarctica is important because it enables scientists to

predict more accurately future climate change and provide information to politicians and

policy makers. The warming of the Antarctic Peninsula is causing changes to the physical
and living environment of Antarctica. The distribution of penguin colonies has changed as

the sea ice conditions alter. Melting of perennial snow and ice covers has resulted in

increased colonization by plants. A long-term decline in the abundance of Antarctic krill

in the SW Atlantic sector of the Southern Ocean may be associated with reduced sea ice

cover. Large changes have occurred in the ice cover of the Peninsula. Many glaciers have

retreated and ice shelves that formerly fringed the Peninsula have been observed to retreat

in recent years and some have collapsed completely.

For these happenings, climate change is the number one cause of damages in nature,

death to other living species and it also affects the human health.

Method of Research

The descriptive method of research was used in this study. Descriptive method of

research is a fact – finding study with adequate and accurate interpretation of the findings.

It describes with emphasis what actually exist such as concurrent conditions, practices

situations, or any phenomenon. Since the present study was concerned with the problems

regarding the effects of climate change to the world.

In order to collect other relevant data related to the topic of the research, a wide

variety of data sourced are available and accessible by the researcher by the use of surfing

the internet. Not only was the data collected form the articles, the researcher also compiles

data from portable documents format (PDF) that are posted from the government and other

environmental organizations.
Method of Collecting Data and the Development of the Research Instrument

The method of collecting data was implementation of searching through various

eligible sites in the internet. This method may have some risks at the belief of data in the

internet is untrustworthy and how several sites are suspicious. Therefore, the researcher

made sure to select data from trusted sources like official news, government sites, and

Environmental sites related to the topic written by qualified professionals and journalists.

After reading the collected data, the researcher would filter out any biased

information. They also observe and study any available footage of the situation that is

related to the effects of climate change in our world.

For validation purposes, the researcher would enumerate the sources they used and

the articles they cited from.

The researcher would further list their findings through multiple examination of

data and rephrasing of the data to avoid any bias and errors.

Sampling Design

Before the collection of data begins, the researcher will make sure to consider the

following conditions before they filter the collected data:

a. The effects of climate change in the Philippines.

b. The effects of climate change in other countries.

c. Causes of climate change.

 The researcher must explain clearly on what basis they used to select their data.

They must be able to present these data with certainty to prove its validity. This is very

important to ensure that there isn’t any falsified information in the research paper.

ANALYSIS, PRESENTATION, AND INTERPRETATION OF DATA

Analysis

In this study of finding the effects of climate change on our world, the while

study may be divided into integral parts as follows according to the following:

1) The existing problems caused by the climate change.

2) The effects of climate change to the following;

a. Agriculture

b. Energy

c. Commercial fishing

d. Beverage industry

3) Possible solutions or actions to lessen the effects of climate change.

Textual Presentation of data

According to National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, impacts from

climate change are happening now. These impacts extend well beyond an increase in

temperature, affecting ecosystems and communities in the United States and around the

world. Things that we depend upon and value water, energy, transportation, wildlife,

agriculture, ecosystems, and human health are experiencing the effects of a changing

climate.

In the Philippines, the historic climate trends includes; the increase in average

temperature of 0.65°C from 1951–2010, with greatest increases in northern and southern
regions, the increased number of “hot” days/decreased number of “cold nights” from 1951–

2010, increased number of cyclones during El Niño years and a slight increase of cyclone

passage over Visayas since the 1970s, increased sea surface temperatures of 0.6°– 1°C

since 1910, with most significant warming occurring after the 1970s, and the Sea level rise

of 0.15 meters since 1940.

The Projected changes in climate by 2050 include; Increased temperatures of 1.8°–

2.2°C, Reduced rainfall from March–May in most areas making the dry season drier,

increased heavy and extreme rainfall in Luzon and Visayas during the southwest monsoon

making the wet season wetter but decreasing rainfall trends for most of Mindanao,

increased frequency of extreme weather events including days exceeding 35°C, days with

less than 2.5 mm of rain, and days exceeding 300 mm of rain, and the rising sea levels of

0.48–0.65 meters by 2100.

According to the University of Reading, Climate change is likely to contribute

substantially to food insecurity in the future, by increasing food prices, and reducing food

production. Food may become more expensive as climate change mitigation efforts

increase energy prices. Water required for food production may become scarcer due to

increased crop water use and drought. Competition for land may increase as certain areas

become climatically unsuitable for production. In addition, extreme weather events,

associated with climate change may cause sudden reductions in agricultural productivity,

leading to rapid price increases.

Based on the report of CNBC, when it comes to the effect if climate change to

agriculture, The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD)

warned earlier this year that “stranded assets” are not only a major risk to energy
companies, but their investors, including sovereign wealth funds, pension funds and

university endowments. OECD governments make about $200 billion annually from oil

and gas Russia gets about $150 billion a year, or 28 percent of total government revenues,

while OPEC countries revenues total $600 billion to $700 billion a year.

As sea levels rise, the fishing industry will be one of the most adversely affected.

according to an analysis from the Natural Resources Defense Council, Salmon and trout,

for instance, thrive in cold, free-flowing water. Habitat loss for both could be as high as 17

percent by 2030 and 34 percent by 2060 if emissions of heat-trapping pollutants are not

reduced. That would be a harsh loss for these fisheries, which are worth somewhere

between $1.5 and $14 billion a year. Ocean acidification also poses a problem for the

fishing industry. Shellfish, like clams and oysters, find it much more difficult to grow in a

more acidic environment.

According to CNBC, the increase of water shortages are among the biggest threats

to the worldwide soft drink and bottled-water market. Coca-Cola’s 2013 10-K form stated

that “changing weather patterns, along with the increased frequency or duration of extreme

weather conditions, could impact the availability or increase the cost of key raw materials

that the company uses to produce its products.”. Coca-Cola’s supply of sugarcane, sugar

beets and other ingredients looks to be threatened as temperatures rise and extreme weather

events occur more often. This past June, government authorities in India forced the closing

of a Coca-Cola bottling plant in the country’s north after the company was accused of

extracting too much groundwater.

Impacts of temperature change on yields of four major crops. Based on a

meta-analysis of 1010 point-estimates from 56 studies (see Methods section). Darkest,

middle, and lightest lines show responses at the 75th, 50th, and 25th quantiles of baseline

growing-season temperature, respectively. Dashed lines show the 95% confidence interval

based on 750 block bootstraps, blocking at the study level. Plotted response curves are for

temperature only and do not include CO2 fertilization or adaptation. Temperature changes

are relative to a local 1995–2005 baseline. The histograms show the number of
observations by crop and level of warming used to estimate the response functions. In

subsequent analyses, yield losses >100% are set to losses of 99%

According to the Philippines Statistics Authority, in the fourth quarter of 2019,

agriculture inched up by 0.4 percent. Crops, poultry and fisheries posted increases in

production while livestock production contracted. Crop production grew by 1.0 percent

during the quarter. It shared 50.6 percent in the total agricultural output. Palay production

went up by 4.7 percent. Corn recorded an 8.2 percent decline in production. Livestock

which accounted for 16.2 percent of the total agricultural production decreased by 8.5

percent. Hog production dropped by 9.8 percent during the quarter. Production of poultry

expanded by 5.4 percent this quarter. It shared 17.0 percent to the total agricultural

production. Except for duck, all poultry commodities posted higher production. Fisheries

production which increased by 3.4 percent contributed 16.2 percent to the total agricultural

output during the fourth quarter of 2019. All the major species registered output increases.
At current prices, the value of agricultural production at PhP 492.0 billion was down by

5.3 percent this quarter.

In this paper, an empirical study has been done on the measure effect of consumers'

attitude towards environment on willingness to pay for electricity that produces by

renewable energy resources. Also, effect of financial capability of consumers on

willingness to pay is evaluated. While world population is increasing and consumption is

depleting resources rapidly, it has caused environmental disruption, air pollution and

climate change. Scientists and environmentalists try to change energy resources as

renewable and nature friendly when they produce ideas about climate change and

environmental issues.

 CHAPTER 5

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

Summary of Findings

This study was conducted for the purpose of determining the Climate Change and

the effects on our world. The descriptive method was utilized an internet research was used

for gathering data. Surfing through the internet proved to be helpful in collecting the

necessary data to present the effects of climate change on our world.

In the Philippines, the there was a projected change in climate by 2050. The

increase of temperature may affect the health of the people and the other agricultural

matters. The heavy rains may cause a massive flooding especially in the Luzon and Visayas

during southwest monsoon which would be the result of decreasing rainfall trends in

Mindanao. And also the rising of se levels of 0.48-0.65 meters by 2100.

According to the University of Reading, climate change is likely to affect the food

production. That will result to the increase of food prices and the reduction of food

production. Since there would be a reduction of food production, food suppliers or

companies would increase the price the food products.

The effects of climate change to our energy resources is that if we continue to use

fossil fuels that affects our environment aside from the harm that it will cause our

environment. It will also result to large amount of money to be paid for the fuels that will

be used for energy consumptions. According to OECD, the government of USA makes

about $200 billion yearly for oil and gas while Russia gets about $150 billion a year.
 According also to CNBC, the shortage of water supply may also affect all beverage

companies. One example is the Coca-cola company, as stated “changing weather patterns,

along with the increased frequency or duration of extreme weather conditions, could impact

the availability or increase the cost of key raw materials that the company uses to produce

its products.”

Conclusion

Through the data’s and information’s gathered from news article and other internet

sources. There has been evidence and data’s to prove the effects of climate change on our

world.

Therefore, the potential arrangements or activities to be made. First is Renewable

energies, the primary method to forestall environmental change is to move away from non-

renewable energy sources. The utilization of sustainable power sources like sunlight based,

wind, biomass and geothermal is superior to non-renewable energy sources.

Second is Energy and water proficiency, creating clean vitality is fundamental,

however decreasing our utilization of vitality and water by utilizing progressively

proficient gadgets. Driven lights, imaginative shower framework is less exorbitant and

similarly significant.

Third is the Sustainable transportation, advancing open transportation, carpooling,

yet additional electric and hydrogen versatility, can help decrease CO2 discharges and

subsequently battle an Earth-wide temperature boost.

 The fourth one is Sustainable foundation, so as to decrease the CO2 discharges from

structures brought by warming, cooling, boiling water or lighting it is fundamental both to

manufacture new low vitality structures, and to remodel the current developments.

The fifth one is Sustainable agribusiness and backwoods the board, empowering

better utilization of common assets, halting gigantic deforestation just as making farming

greener and increasingly productive ought to likewise be a need.

Lastly, is the Responsible utilization and reusing, receiving mindful utilization

propensities is essential. Regarding food particularly meat, clothing, cosmetics or cleaning

products. Recycling is an absolute necessity for dealing with waste.
