Characterizing the risk and impacts of tropical cyclones on banana production in the Philippines

  • Volume 5, Issue 1, August 2023

The Philippines is highly exposed and vulnerable to tropical cyclones (also known as typhoons), which caused over ₱352 billion worth of losses and damages to agriculture between 2000 and 2021. The study focuses on the impacts of typhoons on banana production in the Philippines. Bananas are a crucial crop for consumption, nutrition and the economy. Mindanao accounts for a majority of the country’s production. The study examines the physical sensitivity of bananas to hazards like typhoons, considering factors such as wind speed, flood-prone areas, and slope, using geographical methods.


Enhancing Adaptive Capacity to Flooding of Households: Evidence from Lakeshore Communities of Pila, Laguna, Philippines

  • Volume 5, Issue 1, June 2022

With the increasing incidence of extreme weather events, it is important to identify appropriate strategies to enhance the adaptive capacity of households. In the Philippines for example, climate-induced flooding is displacing many people. This is true in the case of Pila, Laguna, Philippines, which is often flooded when there are typhoons and monsoon events. Strong typhoons in the past caused houses near the lake to be submerged in flood waters and forced households to evacuate. The impact however on these households would vary depending on their adaptive capacities. This study aims to assess the adaptive capacities of households in lakeshore communities susceptible to flooding and identify strategies for policy-makers.


Adaptation and adaptive capacity to flooding of farming households: Insights from Mabitac, Laguna, Philippines

  • Volume 2, Issue 2, July 2017

Vulnerability to flooding due to climate change results in limited access to resources, soil erosion and/or deposition, and reduced quality of water supply among others, affecting many farming communities. Recognizing the need to assess and better understand the adaptive capacity of farming communities, this study determined the effects of flooding and assessed the adaptive capacity levels of farming households in Mabitac, Laguna, Philippines as a case.


Potential long-term impact of Typhoon Haiyan on the water resources of Tacloban City and its vicinity

  • Volume 1, Issue 1, November 2015

Tacloban City is one of the hardest hit cities of the 2013 Super Typhoon Haiyan. Aside from the recorded thousands of death, Haiyan is predicted to have altered the terrestrial ecology of the affected area. In particular, this study investigated the probable impact on water resources as a result of the change in forest cover resulting from Haiyan.
