INTRODUCTION

Climate change is a global issue that affects every country on Earth, although the extent
of its impact varies depending on factors such as geography, climate, and economic
development. Some countries, particularly those in the Global South, are more vulnerable to
the effects of climate change due to their limited resources and infrastructure. Climate change
is a global issue that affects every country on Earth, although the extent of its impact varies
depending on factors such as geography, climate, and economic development.
Some countries, particularly those in the Global South, are more vulnerable to the
effects of climate change due to their limited resources and infrastructure. Like India, India is
one of the countries most vulnerable to the impacts of climate change, with a population of
over 1.3 billion people and a rapidly growing economy. The country is experiencing a range of
climate-related impacts, including more frequent and severe heatwaves, droughts, floods, and
storms. India is experiencing more frequent and intense heatwaves, which have led to
increased incidences of heat-related illness and death. Climate change is also affecting the
country's agriculture sector, with changes in rainfall patterns and temperature leading to
reduced crop yields and food insecurity.
Legazpi, a city in the Philippines, is vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. The
region has been experiencing more frequent and intense natural disasters such as typhoons,
floods, landslides, and storm surges, which are exacerbated by climate change. In the case of
Legazpi, being located in a coastal area, the city is vulnerable to sea-level rise and storm surges,
which can lead to flooding and damage to infrastructure, including tourism facilities. Legazpi is
also known for its agriculture, which may be affected by changes in temperature and rainfall
patterns.
Legazpi is part of the Bicol Region, which is known for its renewable energy potential,
including geothermal, hydroelectric, and solar power, which may be affected by changes in
temperature and precipitation patterns. Knowing the impact of climate change on the economy
helps businesses and governments assess the risks and develop strategies to mitigate them. For
example, businesses can diversify their supply chains, invest in green infrastructure, or adopt
low-carbon technologies to reduce their exposure to climate risks.
Studying the impacts of climate change helps us understand the various effects it has on
the environment, economy, and society. By understanding these impacts, we can better
prepare for and adapt to the changes. Through research, we can identify the areas that are
most vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. This can include coastal regions, areas prone
to wildfires, and places with water scarcity. Knowing this information can help us take steps to
mitigate the effects of climate change in these areas. We can develop solutions to help
reduce its effects. This can include implementing renewable energy sources, improving
infrastructure, and promoting sustainable land use practices. Research on the impacts of
climate change can inform policy decisions at the local, national, and international levels. By
understanding the impacts, policymakers can develop policies that aim to reduce the effects of
climate change and promote sustainability.
We chose this topic because we want to know what are the effects of climate change in
the Philippines and what should be done to prevent them. We also want to know what the
effects of climate change on the economy of Legazpi. Governments can develop policies and
regulations to support these actions, as well as provide financial assistance to vulnerable
sectors.
 The purpose of studying the impact of climate change on the economy is to understand
the potential economic consequences of global warming and to identify opportunities for
reducing greenhouse gas emissions and adapting to the effects of climate change. Everyone
benefits from knowing about climate, as it is an important aspect of our environment and has a
significant impact on our lives. Understanding climate helps individuals, businesses, and
governments make informed decisions about how to manage resources, plan for future
changes, and mitigate or adapt to climate-related risks.
