This article paper was one of the most reads and a top paper published in the Academia (December
2018), ResearchGate (January 2019), as well as in the LinkedIn platforms last September 20, 2018, and
recently in the Scribd (29 February 2020), and the Author’s Blogger Site (17 February 2020).
The article was composed based on the author’s observation of the biodiversity we are living with. And this
has been published through Durreesamin Journal (December 2018) as a series of the author’s
Environmental Advocacy & Conservation Personal Journal & Reflections compositions for the subject
course at the University of the Philippines as part of Upland Resources Environmental Management. In
Figure 01 is one of the examples landscape of the Philippine Ecosystem Biodiversity that needs to restore.

Insight
With all happening in today’s generation, the significant effects of climate change are tremendously likely
to emerge over the medium to long term because of precise timing and the uncertain magnitude around
the world, especially in the Philippines, that has been discussed in the author’s article, (Climate Change
“Deniers,” is it?) published in ResearchGate / Academia (15 February 2020). These uncertainties have
been presented of challenges throughout organizations about the potential effects of climate change
within their businesses, strategies, and financial performance within the biodiversity landscape. However,
in order to appropriately incorporate the potential consequences, the impact of climate change and
experiencing poverty, which will be done through planning processes, and that need to be considered on
how the climate-related risks as well as the opportunities that may evolve in the implications under the
different conditions through the use of either scenario approach or the vulnerability approach within the
biodiversity that will be discussed in this article paper and for information in the public sector.

With above image (Figure 01), as part of the ecosystem biodiversity whereas the role of biodiversity
has a significant impact in association of what poverty we have observed not only in the country,
Philippines but around the world because of the climate change impact on the earth which the author is
going to discuss in this article. However, the author will be using two approaches such as; scenario and
vulnerability approaches that can be done in mitigating the environmental impact.
Moreover, through the conducted series of studies, the vulnerability approach is most likely can deliver the
approachable approach that people can mitigate through adaptation and will be discussed in details in the
prepared sections in response to the role of biodiversity in addressing the issues associated with poverty
and the impacts of the climate change in today’s generation.

Scenario Approach; Assessing Biodiversity Climate Impacts

With reference to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in 1994, the climate change
scenario approach has been defined using the output from one or more climate model experiments that
run through environmental simulation models of evaluated impacts within the affected vicinity and that
have been assessed fundamentally.
Using the scenario approach is an alternative approach for assessing the possible impacts of climate
change within the agricultural sector as part of the biodiversity that would follow a bottom-up approach
or the adjoint method in the process whereas the range of the magnitudes of climate change could be
adapted either through environmental or social exposure unit and/or area that has been affected through.
Accordingly, this approach is a well-established method for developing input into a strategic plan, and
thus, it will enhance the plan into flexibility or resiliency within a range of future states. However, the uses
of scenario approach analysis in assessing climate-related risks and the opportunities towards any
potential business implications in the matters. Through the importance of forward-looking assessments of
climate-related risk and information to investors, lenders, and insurance underwriters believe that the
scenario analysis is an essential and useful tool in combating the impacts.

Vulnerability Approach; Assessing Biodiversity Climate Impacts

The Climate Change is likely occurring everywhere and has been experiencing due to the fact of warmer
temperatures, with the increased climate variability, the sea level rise as well as the extreme weather
whereas being placed in increasing pressure to the community within the infrastructure.
However, in the context of climate change phenomenon, the infrastructure can be defined as the technical
structure that supports the society whereas the affected roads, sewers, fire roads, the stormwater drains,
and the natural reserves are the vulnerable aspect that can be found.
The vulnerability-based approach in assessing climate impacts has sets criteria based on the socio-
economic or biophysical outcomes, then these will determine how likely the mentioned criteria are to be
met or exceeded. Moreover, the climate risks are being described using either the pathway that can be
managed through the policy changes and/or reducing population exposure of the current and future
climate hazards within the vulnerability areas in sustaining for a sustainable environment.
Climate Impacts constitutes one of the most significant contemporary environmental menaces
variability impacted the infrastructure where vulnerable pattern with extreme events such as storms,
bushfires, floods, landslide, precipitation patterns, and drought or through the gradual changes such as air
temperature, rainfall, and solar radiation. The risky events within the environmentally concerned and value
as a result of the negative impact to the government sector’s economic policy, and thus, the vulnerability
of infrastructure is severe due to extreme weather events implies a high risk to the valuable economy, the
preserved environment, and the social systems.
In these regards, vulnerability approach and awareness are essential to learning especially by a layman
through adaptation planning whereas either an individual or the community that has the chance to secure
themselves from unwavering climate change impacts. And as discussed brought in the lesson patterns, the

vulnerability approach is very useful in the adaptation planning method and more appropriate for the
Philippine setting of the following strategies such as follows;
1) Design of adaptation strategies in the biodiversity,
2) Prioritization of adaptation strategies in the biodiversity, and
3) Evaluation of adaptation strategies in the biodiversity.

Conservation Measures and Approaches to Climate Impacts

As you can notice, the positions of the world-leading scientists are very clear that climate change impacts
are happening and the emissions with greenhouse gases from human activities are mainly responsible.
And thus, the adaptation strategies in climate change impacts have been studied carefully on how
these will be tackled and being conducted through the vulnerability assessment as conservation measures
in alleviating poverty with the following six steps as follows;
1) Definition of Scope and Purpose of Assessment,
2) Description of People, Areas, and Sector that will be Affected,
3) Assessment of Exposure to Climate Change,
4) Evaluation of Sensitivity to Climate Change,
5) Evaluation of Adaptive Capacity, and
6) Vulnerability Rating.
However, the assessment of climate vulnerability, in reality, encompasses various stakeholders; industries,
communities, government environmental regulators and the academia of the proposed six-steps in climate
change vulnerability assessment for a particular project as defined above.
Therefore, with the conservation measures, vulnerability approach is clearly defined that can mitigate the
ecosystem biodiversity through the six-step of vulnerability approach in assessing Climate Impacts on
the climate change which will be focusing on climate mitigation, climate adaptation, ecosystems
management, energy demand, and storage and policy development, which, wherefore, alleviate
the poverty at the same time.

Definition of Scope and Purpose of Assessment

And this is the first step out of the six steps in the climate change vulnerability assessment that have to
provide with an identification of the people and the areas of interest that to be assessed and identified
what the project is all about. The purpose is why the project needs to be evaluated.
By providing a framework overall, the task may be understood of the impact that is being carried out by
the team leader to the stakeholder. Upon assessing the context of the scope, however, the expected
output of the conducted assessment are supposed to be the vulnerable areas within the range of works of
definition and has to be carried out and also, has to be provided with all the list of all areas that have been
assumed as potentially affected within the scope of works. In doing so, the assessor has its records of the
past climate change-related impacts so that he has the basis on how the context of the scope will be
developed in accordance with the prevailing situation they are working on. Additionally, the assessor has
to provide with the base maps, demography as well as the covered forest following the context that is
within the scope of work and simplify the issue while preparing the assessment impact of the project.
However, in assessing the project under this step, he/she has to be knowledgeable and has ample time to
review all the documents thoroughly. He/she needs to establish the critical informant to be interviewed in
regards to the context of the scope of work for valuable documentation as well.
After all, upon securing all the information you need to complete for the project, a peer review has to be
conducted through discussing the matters for a conclusion, and thus, the project concerned has to be a
reliable source relevant to the definition of the scope and the purpose of the assessment.

As a conclusion and example of the given task, whereas, considering the purpose of the evaluation,
together with the mission and type of change that has been working on, and it will help to decide on the
questions for guiding in establishing the assessment of the scope. Moreover, these questions will assist in
focusing on the information that needs to be collected to help to answer all the work based on the
definition within the range and the purpose of doing the assessment.

Description of People, Areas, and Sector that will be affected

This is the second step out of the six steps in the climate change vulnerability assessment whereas the
primary purpose is to provide establish baseline conditions and evaluation of non-climate stressors. There
has to be identified in formulating the framework after Step 1 (Definition of Scope and Purpose of
Assessment) that had been carried out to understand the people who are living in the area to be assessed
as well as various sectors that have been affected.
Within the framework of assessment, the assessor has to provide all the lists of priority with all the impact
areas of concern, so that, in conducting the work will have a harmonious output in resolving issues
resulting in a smooth flow without any burdens between the parties. And thereby, an individual has to
focus on the issue that is being brought to the table so that the expected output will achieve more success
in accordance with the context of the scope of work within the prescribed sectors.
In doing so, again, the assessor has its records of the past climate change-related impacts so that he has
the basis on how the context of the scope will be developed further in accordance with the prevailing
situation they are working on. Additionally, the assessor has to provide with the base maps, demography
as well as covered forest whereas the context is solely for the known people, areas and the sectors that
have been affected. And that will simplify all the issues that have been gathered in preparing the
assessment impact necessary for the project as clearly as possible.
The procedure, however, after securing all the output and the data they need, the assessor have to focus
within their group for discussion, brainstorming and participation in the workshops in align with the
historical analysis they’ve brought so that the project concerned has to be a reliable and justified of the
sources relevant to the concerned people, areas and the sectors that have been affected
As a conclusion and example, it is the public services that include public goods and governmental services,
which are part of the economy, composed of both public services and public enterprises for the common
good. Also, for example, within the agricultural development whereas one of the most potent tools to end
the extreme poverty, and to boost shared prosperity.
However, in agriculture-driven growth, poverty reduction, and food security are at risk. And this is due to
climate change that could cut crop yields, especially in the world’s most food-insecure regions and
thereby, a crucial to economic growth; additionally, considering the socio-economic approach whereas all
genders, health status, technology, information access, level of education, wealth, accessibility to credit
and political power are the so-called, socio-economic and political factors that have been used to
determine the socioeconomic vulnerability of people.

Assessment of Exposure to Climate Change

As this is the third step out of the six steps in the climate change vulnerability assessment, the primary
purpose is to provide the evaluation and analysis of the past, the forecasting of the future climate-related
hazards and risks requirements. These are an essential part of the context of the scope that has to be
assessed to get the values and the differences from the output which have been covered in the simulation
of the future climate scenarios relative in the year 2020/50 and 2080.
In making these exercise effective, the assessor has to value all the data needed in the context including
the records of the climate-related hazards and the downscaled climate scenarios whereas have to be
assessed of the exposure areas to climate change as well as the historical records of the context that have
to be reviewed to complete the assessment for a complete project.

Under this step, the assessor has to be knowledgeable and needs to review all the documents thoroughly
whereas whatever the needs to establish the critical informant that to be interviewed in regards to the
context of the scope of work must be reliable. In valuing the assessment especially those areas that are
said to be exposed to climate change, however, the GIS/SimCLIM (Geographic Information System) /
[SimCLIM is a software modeling system used to link and integrate complex arrays of data and models in
order to simulate (both temporally and spatially)] is the essential tool in refining the documents as well as
having FGD (Focus Group Discussion) and workshop that needs to be done and conducted through by
discussing the matters for a conclusion. And hence, the project concerned at the end has to be a reliable
source of relevance to the assessment of exposure to climate change.
As a conclusion and example, it is the biophysical vulnerability assessment approach with focuses on
examining the destruction level that has caused by a specific environmental disaster on biological and
social systems. Moreover, the estimation of the damages can also be achieved by creating sensitivity
indicators through means of identification for the potential or real hazards including their frequencies
required and so forth.

Assessment of Sensitivity to Climate Change

The fourth step out of the six stages of the climate change vulnerability assessment where the primary
purpose is providing identification of areas that will likely be affected by climate change with the
assessment process. Then to identify the sensitive area is using the GIS (Geographic Information System)
analysis tool. Wherein the advantage of this tool is to identify accurately the concerned sensitivity area and
by providing topographic maps or other maps that will sustain and understand the context assessment as
the scope part of this stage.
Under this step, similar to Assessment of Exposure to Climate Change, again, the assessor has to be
knowledgeable and needs to review all the documents thoroughly whereas it needs to establish according
to the context of the scope of work for the project they are taking.
However, in valuing the assessment especially whereas areas are sensitive to climate change, the GIS
Geographic Information System) Analysis Tool in providing this step accurately, which is the essential part
in refining the documents and focusing on the group discussions will elevate the needs in the impact
assessment that has been conducted into a conclusion. And thus, the project concerned has to be a
reliable source relevant to the evaluation of sensitivity to climate change.
As a conclusion and with the example, it is the institutional and economic changes of the society that are
the key to shaping the vulnerability of people. Climate prediction models have played a vital role in
generating forecasts that are being used to estimate whatever damage caused by environmental stresses
within the biodiversity.

Assessment of Adaptive Capacity

This is the fifth step out of the six steps in the climate change vulnerability assessment whereas the
primary purpose is by providing an evaluation of the past responses to the climate-related hazards. The
assessment of the critical indicators of adaptive capacity involving the HDI (Human Development Index),
the population density, the road density, the social networks, and the IKS (Inventurus Knowledge
Solutions) are the data needed in the development of the adaptive capacity figures. In doing so, the
adaptive capacity maps are necessary to align with the identification of the people and the areas of
interest which have to be assessed within the context of assignment for the project task.
Under this step, similar to the previous levels, the assessor has to be knowledgeable and essential to
review all the documents thoroughly whereas they have to establish the critical informant that to be
interviewed in regards to the context of the scope of work. In valuing the assessment especially whereas
areas are means to adaptive capacity assessment within the variability of the climate change. However,
the GIS (Geographic Information System) Analysis is the essential tool in refining the documents as well as
having FGD (Focus Group Discussion) and workshop that needs to be conducted through discussing the

matters for a conclusion, and thus, the project concerned has to be a reliable source relevance to the
assessment of adaptive capacity.
As a conclusion and with the example, it is the internal characteristics of individuals or the communities
which are used to identify their adaptive capacity in the socio-economic vulnerability assessment
approach. The evaluation of the damages can also be achieved by creating sensitivity indicators through
the identification of potential or real hazards including their frequencies. Accordingly, the primary
determinant of the adaptive capacity of each household, or the communities in reducing risk, and this is to
cope with and adapt to adverse impacts of climate change is their asset. However, the adaptive capacity
indicators will be collectively grouped as social-economic capacity indicators which include social capital
referring with share of farmers in farm organizations, human capital which is the literacy rate, financial
capital which is the farm income, a farm asset that is access to credit and the physical capital which is the
infrastructure index.

Vulnerability Rating
This is the last step out of the six steps in the climate change vulnerability assessment where the primary
purpose is providing an evaluation of the degree of vulnerability of the peoples, of the places, and the
resources being held within the context. The vulnerability maps will be the output in securing the essential
purpose for the task assigned resulting from the previous steps being gathered of the context of the scope
of work. However, the GIS (Geographic Information System) Analysis is the critical tool for refining the
documents as well as having participatory in the workshop that needs to have a peer review through
discussing the matters for a conclusion, and thus, the project concerned has to be a reliable source
relevant to the vulnerability rating purpose.
As a conclusion and example, it is the vulnerability that has been determined by integrating both the
socio-economic and biophysical approaches. However, the different variables of the unknown weights are
being used in this approach has no common metric in assessing the relative significance of individual
variable or the relevance of the social and the biophysical vulnerability.

Conclusion
With all the above pertaining steps, the author can conclude with the simplified approaches for assessing
the vulnerability of infrastructure to climate change impact in alleviating poverty which is more favorable.
And thus, the Vulnerability Approach is preferable compared to the Scenario Approach because of using
adaptation and mitigation in combating climate change impacts in the agricultural ecosystem biodiversity
that has been defined through in this article paper provided.
Vulnerability Approach simply demonstrates the landscape perspective especially on the agriculture
ecosystem biodiversity as well as with the natural resources with a more pragmatic approach involving
community-based natural resource management, strong partnerships, and flexibility in fulfillment to
conserve biodiversity sustainably. The major actors in conservation and agriculture biodiversity are
recognizing the critical contribution that we can say it through biodiversity that can make to human
livelihoods, food, and nutrition.
Through this, a deeper understanding of how social, ecological, commercial and financial sectors, as well
as the cultural movements, can mobilize biodiversity’s contribution to food security as well as poverty
reduction, particularly in view of climate change threats. And thus, biodiversity can be both the
safeguarded that will put to use within a sustainable context and a resilient agriculture that will meet
multiple needs especially for the food production, the environmental restoration, and the preservation, as
well as to improve the livelihood within the rural people in alleviating poverty through with these
mitigation and adaptation process.
Overall, the author may say that through Vulnerability Approach as mentioned and discussed above are
the facts as the based reference on where they have provided and sustain biodiversity, which is a
developing model of agriculture ecosystem biodiversity with smallholder farmers and partners that

maximize agricultural sustainability, productivity, and conservation objectives, emphasizing the bridge
between agriculture and conservation with biodiversity as a key link that will have a sustainable
ecosystem. Again, it is based on the conceptual principles and methodologies as defined from all the
materials gathered for environmental preservation in securing food security-enhancing through
Vulnerability Approach using adaptation and mitigation, and thus, ensuring agricultural farming that will
remain productive and healthy in the coming generations in meeting their needs through sustainable
agriculture ecosystem biodiversity as well as using the Climate-Smart Agriculture as the latest technology
in mitigating and adaptation approach in the field.
