CLIMATE CHANGE VULNERABILITY MAPPING IN SELECTED MUNICIPALITIES IN LAGUNA , PHILIPPINES* *Building Capacity to Adapt to Climate Change in Southeast Asia Vicente G. Ballaran, Jr. Assistant Professor University of the Philippines Los Baños PROJECT DISSEMINATION AND SHARING SEMINAR June 25, 2013 Manila, Philippines INTRODUCTION: SOME OF THE NEGATIVE IMPACTS OF EXTREME CLIMATE EVENTS •could kill people •devastate means of livelihood •wreck houses, building and other structures •destroy natural resources and biodiversity •etc. translate to huge economic losses that can be detrimental to further improvements of food security OVERALL OBJECTIVE: *To build local capacity to adapt to climate change, especially in vulnerability assessment and adaptation analysis SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES: • to measure community’s vulnerability to climate change through research in selected communities • to produce maps of each community’s relative vulnerability to climate change (commune and agriculture) Laguna PHILIPPINES STUDY SITE •Watershed approach •proposed watershed includes municipalities that have experienced flooding and heavy typhoon damages in recent years •chosen watershed will include the agricultural area of Laguna Province of Laguna 30 municipalities 676 barangays 1,760 km2 2007 Population: 2, 473, 530 The Study Site 12 municipalities 274 barangays (194) 568 km2 2007 population: 568, 690 (23% share) Laguna Lake: •largest living lake in Southeast Asia •90,000 ha •serves as a catchment basin for 21 major tributaries with a total catchment area of 45,000 km2 •Seventeen of the tributaries draining to the lake are within Laguna •has only a single outlet into Manila Bay through the Napindan Channel METHODOLOGY: FRAMEWORK: Vulnerability=(Exposure , Sensitivities , and Adaptive Capacity) EXPOSURE / HAZARD • Typhoon • Flood SENSITIVITY • Natural • Human • Infrastructure • Livelihood ADAPTIVE CAPACITY • Infrastructure • Economic • Technology • Social • Human Table 1.
