The Philippine climate change assessment: the physical science basis

The Philippine Climate Change Assessment (PhilCCA) Working Group 1: The Physical Science Basis is a scientific assessment of climate change for the Philippines and describes the local climate system of the country in comparison to the global picture. Sections include those on the interaction of the marine environment with climate, factors that drive local changes in climate, and a discussion on what Philippine climate can or will be in the Philippines. Each chapter identifies important gaps in climate change science in the Philippines.

The PhilCCA synthesizes scientific information from international and local literature in order to provide an assessment of climate change for the Philippines and identify gaps in the scientific literature. It contains comprehensive information on climate change science in the Philippines that can guide everyone in making strategic decisions.
