Ultrafine particles permeate the air in South Korea because of vehicle emissions and coal power plants.

These particles are at least somewhat caused by South Korea’s own pollution but it is theorized that pollution from China may be causing a certain percentage of the particles in South Korea as well.

The Philippines suffers from rising sea levels, increased rainfall, drought and flooding.

The Philippines’ coral reefs are dying as well, due to climate issues as well as something called blast fishing. Blast fishing is a process in which people throw explosives in the water they are fishing in to make it easier to catch fish.

One major cause of the erosion of their coral reefs is ocean acidification, which is a process by which carbon dioxide in the atmosphere settles and dissolves in the water, causing carbonic acid.

We recommend that South Korea invest in climate action both at home and abroad.

South Korea should enforce regulations on the companies that pollute the most in South Korea

South Korea should also invest in more vulnerable countries, like the Philippines.

The Philippines has raised $1 billion to invest in green projects within the country

The Philippines committed to reduce 75% of it emission by 2030 and quickly scale up effort to adapt to a changing climate, setting itself one of the most ambitious targets among southeast Asian countries.

The Philippines needs to use the money it has raised in order to fund green energy projects

The Filipino government needs to attempt to mobilize local governments. As our research shows, the citizens are concerned, they may just not have the right tools to implement green initiatives in their individual neighborhoods.

The Philippines should invest their survivor's fund into building emergency shelters for their citizens

We also suggest that the Philippines (and by extension South Korea) invest in water storage infrastructure to protect Filipino citizens

Half of our respondents did not believe that gender was a factor in a person's vulnerability to climate change.

Women are far more vulnerable to climate disasters than men are.

# data[].attributes.body
Over half of our respondents did not believe that both North and South Korea, as well as the Philippines, had signed the Paris Climate Agreement.

All three countries have signed the agreement.

We think it is important for everyone to know that the issue has been at least acknowledged by these countries.
