Organizer: The Stimson Center and the U.S.-Philippines Society
Description:
Southeast Asia is among the most vulnerable regions to climate change, and the Philippines has a long history of vulnerability to extreme weather, now exacerbated by sea-level rise. Coastal cities and towns that rely on fishing and farming are vulnerable and disproportionally impacted by climate change. Join the Stimson Center for a discussion on the Philippines’ vulnerability to climate change and an exploration of policy priorities, sustainable strategies, and action plans to mitigate, adapt, and protect communities.
