These fires aren't only happening in Brazil, it's happening in our very own country in the Philippines. Two distinct looking worlds showing both fragility and beauty– when truth is we only live in one. A world threatened by climate change and immense socio-economic developent like agriculture, palm oil plantations, mining, and land grabbing. A world left to fade if we don't act now, because whoever you are, Brazilian or Filipino, government official or businessman, president or citizen, we share the same air and sky, land and seas, forests and rivers, mountains and trees— only separated by borders and imaginary lines that we have cast in society and our minds.

Title: Climate Change is a threat multiplier for the forcibly displaced in Mindanao - UNHCR Philippines

Date Published: August 4, 2021

Author: UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador Atom Araullo

Key Information:

In Mindanao, climate change exacerbates their struggles, with unpredictable flash floods and limited access to electricity posing significant threats.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
In a remote area in the middle of the Liguasan wetlands is community that is prone to climate hazards. Despite this, the community has become a safe refuge for those who have been forced to flee due to armed conflict from neighboring barangays. In this community resides Racma, a wife of a fisherman, along with her husband and five children, who lives in a house standing on stilts. Barangay Butiren in Kabuntalan, Maguindanao, remains to be an area with little to no electricity, and is challenged by flash floods which come unpredictably especially during the monsoon season.

Racma shares the challenges they face with the limited access to electricity and the fear of the rising of water levels that threaten their stay in their fragile home. As a mother, she shares that she is unable to sleep soundly at night, especially when the rain pours heavily, and she fears that flood will enter their house and drive them to immediately seek higher and safer grounds. Your support enables UNHCR to respond with life-saving assistance and protect and empower families like Racma's. Disaster preparedness, access to emergency life-saving assistance, and opportunities to rebuild sustainable livelihoods can protect the most vulnerable families during climate emergencies.

With your help, UNHCR and its partners distributed solar lamps to the community to provide a sustainable solution to the lack of electricity, and to provide much-needed light and protection. Racma's husband was also among the fishermen who received sustainable fishing equipment such as boats and bamboo fishtraps, to assist in their livelihood and greener fishing practices. Limited resources and worsening environmental conditions not only threaten their safety and security, but also their ability to earn a living. Your support ensures that they are able to continue providing for their families.

Together, we can anticipate risk and work with local communities to increase their resilience to adapt. We can help strengthen preparedness and response, support environmental solutions, and empower displaced families and their host communities to mitigate the impact of climate change.

Title: Simulated historical climate & weather data for Mindanao

Date Published: 2007-2024

Author: meteoblue

Key Information: The meteoblue climate diagrams are based on 30 years of hourly weather model simulations and available for every place on Earth. They give good indications of typical climate patterns and expected conditions (temperature, precipitation, sunshine and wind).

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The meteoblue climate diagrams are based on 30 years of hourly weather model simulations and available for every place on Earth. They give good indications of typical climate patterns and expected conditions (temperature, precipitation, sunshine and wind). The simulated weather data have a spatial resolution of approximately 30 km and may not reproduce all local weather effects, such as thunderstorms, local winds, or tornadoes, and local differences as they occur in urban, mountainous, or coastal areas.

You can explore the climate for any location like the Amazon rainforest, West-Africa savannas, Sahara desert, Siberian Tundra or the Himalaya.

Hourly historical weather data since 1940 for Mindanao can be purchased with history+. Download variables such as temperature, wind, clouds and precipitation as CSV for any place on Earth.

Average temperatures and precipitation

The "mean daily maximum" (solid red line) shows the maximum temperature of an average day for every month for Mindanao. Likewise, "mean daily minimum" (solid blue line) shows the average minimum temperature. Hot days and cold nights (dashed red and blue lines) show the average of the hottest day and coldest night of each month of the last 30 years. For vacation planning, you can expect the mean temperatures, and be prepared for hotter and colder days. Wind speeds are not displayed per default, but can be enabled at the bottom of the graph.

The precipitation chart is useful to plan for seasonal effects such as monsoon climate in India or wet season in Africa. Monthly precipitations above 150mm are mostly wet, below 30mm mostly dry. Note: Simulated precipitation amounts in tropical regions and complex terrain tend to be lower than local measurements.

Cloudy, sunny, and precipitation days

The graph shows the monthly number of sunny, partly cloudy, overcast and precipitation days. Days with less than 20% cloud cover are considered as sunny, with 20-80% cloud cover as partly cloudy and with more than 80% as overcast. While Reykjavík on Iceland has mostly cloudy days, Sossusvlei in the Namib desert is one of the sunniest places on earth.

Note: In tropical climates like in Malaysia or Indonesia the number of precipitation days may be overestimated by a factor up to 2.

Maximum temperatures

The maximum temperature diagram for Mindanao displays how many days per month reach certain temperatures. Dubai, one of the hottest cities on earth, has almost none days below 40°C in July. You can also see the cold winters in Moscow with a few days that do not even reach -10°C as daily maximum.

Precipitation amounts

The precipitation diagram for Mindanao shows on how many days per month, certain precipitation amounts are reached. In tropical and monsoon climates, the amounts may be underestimated.

Wind speed

The diagram for Mindanao shows the days per month, during which the wind reaches a certain speed. An interesting example is the Tibetan Plateau, where the monsoon creates steady strong winds from December to April, and calm winds from June to October.

Wind speed units can be changed in the settings (top right).

Wind rose

The wind rose for Mindanao shows how many hours per year the wind blows from the indicated direction. Example SW: Wind is blowing from South-West (SW) to North-East (NE). Cape Horn, the southernmost land point of South America, has a characteristic strong west-wind, which makes crossings from East to West very difficult especially for sailing boats.

General information

Since 2007, meteoblue has been archiving weather model data. In 2014 we started to calculate weather models with historical data from 1985 onwards and generated a continuous 30-year global history with hourly weather data. The climate diagrams are the first simulated climate data-set made public on the net. Our weather history covers any place on earth at any given time regardless of availability of weather stations.

The data is derived from our global NEMS weather model at approximately 30km resolution and cannot reproduce detail local weather effects, such as heat islands, cold air flows, thunderstorms or tornadoes. For locations and events which require very high precision (such as energy generation, insurance, town planning, etc.), we offer high resolution simulations with hourly data through point+, history+ and our API.

Title: CLIMATE CHANGE ADAPTATION IN THE PHILIPPINES: CASE AND POLICY ANALYSIS OF THE PEOPLE’S SURVIVAL FUND

Date Published: 2022

Author: MARIA ANGELA G. ZAFRA

Key Information: The Philippines has consistently been extremely vulnerable to the effects of climate change.

Due to its location in the Western Pacific, much of the country is exposed to more frequent

and increasingly intense natural disasters. The Philippines experiences on average twenty

tropical typhoons annually and usually is among the countries with the people placed at risk

due to seasonal weather events. This makes climate change a concern for most Filipinos.
