Abstract:
Climate projections analyses and indicator data on exposure and vulnerability show that the municipality of Silago, Southern Leyte is at risk to the impacts of future climate changes. The coastal barangays, where most of agricultural land are located and which have high population density, are especially at risk due to the projected decrease in rainfall and the potential increase in sea levels. Inland barangays, on the other hand, are at risk because of relatively higher increases in temperature, which may also have adverse effects on the inland forests located in the area. These results are based on the projected climate changes for an A1B scenario using a regional climate model, RS-GIS analyses, and the available data obtained for the study.
