The IPCC Special Report on Managing the Risks of Extreme Events and Disasters to Advance Climate Change Adaptation

Risk as the compounding effect of Hazard, Exposure and Vulnerability Resilience as the ability of complex systems to respond and recover in space and over time Inter- and trans-disciplinary investigations and validation of physical, socio-economic, health, organizational and economic indicators of vulnerability and adaptive capacity Building evidence-based decision support systems using climate modeling (downscaling), remote sensing and geographic information systems and statistical analysis Designing the Risk Simulation tool Building a toolkit for mainstreaming

600 sq. km. 12 Million people in 16 cities and 1 Municipality Quezon City has the highest population with 2.7M people in 166 sq km Manila has the highest population density with 1.6M in 38.5 sq km NCR contributed 35.7 percent to Philippines GDP in 2011(NSCB) All are 1 st class cities, except Navotas which is 2 nd class and Manila and Quezon City which are in a special class Port Area Manila had the highest poverty incidence as of 2009

From the 1960s to the 2000s there has been an increase in days with heavy rainfall Overall rainfall associated with Tropical Cyclones is increasing Increases in rainfall are due to Tropical Storms and Tropical Depressions rather than Typhoons Initial scenarios show a potential increase in rainfall in the monsoon season Missing and constricted rivers Ground subsidence Land use, densification Industrial and Commercial Development Informal Settlements

Potential changes in rainy season rainfall due to GW: ~5-20% 5-20% increase in rainfall in north-western regions Increase occurs at peak of monsoon season Increase is due to more frequent occurrence of heavy rainfall Projected Rainfall Change 2020s
