Philippines

Poor countries and poor communities remain the victims of anthropogenic climate injustice. While the Philippines contributes less than 0.4% to the climate crisis, the global north is responsible for 92% of annual global carbon dioxide emissions.

The Philippines is one of the most typhoon impacted countries globally, with about 20 tropical cyclones traversing the country’s area of responsibility each year. On 16 December 2021, super typhoon Rai, locally known as Odette, made its landfall in the Philippines.
