Climate change is a
statistically significant
change in the state of the
climate (average weather)
that persists for an extended
period of time (decades or
longer).
WHAT IS CLIMATE
SCIENCE
Climate science, aims to explain and
predict the workings of a global climate
system—encompassing the atmosphere,
oceans, land surface, ice sheets and more
—and it makes extensive use of both
theoretical knowledge and mathematical
modeling.

WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
WEATHER AND CLIMATE?

It is the temperature, humidity,
precipitation, cloudiness and It is the average weather

WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CLIMATE
CHANGE AND CLIMATE VARIABILITY?

CLIMATE VARIABILITY

It refers to natural variation in
climate that occurs over months to It is “a systematic change in
decades. El Niño, which changes the long-term state of the
temperature, rain and wind patterns

FAST FACT

The climate of the

country can be
divided into two
major seasons:

(1) the wet season

(2) the dry season

Electricity production,

account for more than
80% of the CO2 released
into the atmosphere.

Oceans absorb
about 25% of

leading to
acidification of

Drought has taken its toll in
at least five North Cotabato
towns, prompting local

A SPIKE in dengue cases this
year can be attributed to
typhoon rainfall and
climate change, creating
the perfect breeding ground
for Aedes aegypti, the
mosquito responsible for
transmitting dengue in the
Philippines.
 DAILY REMINDER

There is a lot we
can do about
climate change.
 MITIGATION
Mitigation refers to “measures
to reduce the amount and speed
of future climate change by
reducing emissions of heat-
trapping gases or removing
carbon dioxide from the
atmosphere.”

 ADAPTATION
Adaptation refers to measures
taken to reduce the harmful
impacts of climate change or
take advantage of any beneficial
opportunities through
“adjustments in natural or
human systems.”

Resilience means the “capability
to anticipate, prepare for,
respond to, and recover from
significant threats with
minimum damage to social well-
being, the economy, and the
environment.”
