Welcome, this module will be our companion for a objectives.
great journey into the minds and aspirations of the world
today.
The planet Earth has the capacity to support living organisms as well
as non-living things placing man as the steward of creation. The quest for
survival and the fight for extinction remains a challenge. Political issues,
economic concerns, and environmental problems on sustaining the Earth’s
resources is bothering us. The climate change had been threatening the
Earth and all creatures inhabiting it.

Lecture Notes
Why it matters?
We will cause irreversible damage to our environment if we don’t act to
change our consumption and production patterns.
Climate Action
Why it matters?
People’s lives are really being affected by climate change. Severe weather and rising
sea levels are affecting people and their property in developed and developing countries.
From a small farmer in the Philippines to a businessman in London, climate change is
affecting everyone, especially the poor and vulnerable, as well as marginalized groups like
women, children, and the elderly.

costing us a lot more than if we take action now. We have an opportunity to take
actions that will lead to more jobs, great prosperity, and better lives for all while
reducing greenhouse gas emissions and building climate resilience.
A. Adaptation
Adaptation is action that helps people cope with the effects of climate
change. In human systems, adaptation seeks to moderate or avoid harm or exploit
beneficial opportunities. In some natural systems, human intervention may
facilitate adjustment to expected climate and its effects.
Adaptation includes:
Responses or measures that address drivers of vulnerability, such as crop
insurance for farmers
Responses or measures that directly confront climate change impact, such
as flood control that incorporates climate change and climate variability in
design
Reponses or measures that build resilience to current and future climate
risks such as climate-resilient rice varieties
Avoid high risk areas, such as those prone to flooding and exposed to
sea level rise. Consider this in planning infrastructure and other
development programs. Doing so may well be the most cost-effective and
safest option. Protect the community from sea level rise and river flooding.
Install seawalls and plant mangroves that act as buffers during storm
surges. Build green spaces with many trees to provide shade, wind fences,
and drainage. Accommodate adjustments in the design of roads, buildings,
transport system, and other infrastructure. Accommodation means
changing design standards and construction materials so that they
withstand higher levels of flooding or temperature. It means installing air
conditioning in cars. Accommodation also includes designating emergency
8
bus routes and strengthening public transport networks to increase
resilience. In agriculture, shifting to crops that can withstand floods and
droughts is an adaptation measure.
B. Mitigation
Mitigation is action that will reduce or absorb greenhouse gases in the atmosphere (BBC,
2014). IPCC (2014) defines mitigation as human intervention to reduce the sources or
enhance the sinks of greenhouse gases.

It has seven strategic priorities:
Water
• Water conservation
• Water harvesting and storage
• Better management of water supply systems
10
Health
• Improving access to health care
• Disease monitoring and emergency responses
Ecosystems
• Rehabilitation of habitats
• Creating protected areas and migration corridors
• Tree planting along highways, forest reserve areas, water shed areas and
mountains
Coasts
• Integrated coastal resource management
• Integration of adaptation in planning
• Construction of sea walls
• Elevating houses
• Conservation of ecosystems
• Elevating major thoroughfare
• Modifying existing drainage systems
• “Flood-proofing” buildings
• Flood hazard mapping and floor warnings
• Temporary shelter for affected communities
• Relocation of affected communities should sea water level rise
• Empowering community institution

Activity 3
Direction: Read the following excerpts.
A. A Prayer from the film “The Men Who Stare at Goats”
“Mother Earth, you are my life support system. As a soldier I will drink your
blue water, live inside your red clay and eat your green skin. Help me to balance
myself as you hold and balance the Earth, the sea and the space environments.
Help me to open my heart knowing the universe will feed me. I pray my boots will
always kiss your face and my footsteps match your heartbeat. Carry my body
through space and time. You are my connection to the universe and all that comes
after. I am yours and you are mine. I salute you.”
B. Lyrics from the song entitled “Sing for the Climate”
My friends, this body perhaps more than any other gathering in human
history, now faces this difficult but achievable task. You can make history… or be
vilified by it. To be clear, this is not about just telling people to change their light
bulbs or to buy a hybrid car. This disaster has grown beyond the choices that
17
individuals make. This is about our industries, and governments around the world
taking decisive, large-scale action. Now, must be is our moment for action.
This is not a partisan debate; it is a human one. Clean air and water, and a
livable climate are inalienable human rights. And solving this crisis is not a
question of politics. It is a question of our own survival. This is the most urgent of
times, and the most urgent of messages.
Honored delegates, leaders of the world, I pretend for a living. But you do
not. The people made their voices heard on Sunday around the world and the
momentum will not stop. And now it’s your turn, the time to answer humankind’s
greatest challenge is now. We beg you to face it with courage. And honesty. Thank
You.
I have been the environment secretary of the Philippines for only two and a
half months, but I have a wealth of institutional experience to guide me, both at
the national and the ASEAN levels. And so I am confident that we can continue to
march in cadence, and perhaps accelerate the tempo, given that in grappling with
climate change time is of the essence.
As we go through our meetings, let us not lose sight of the fact that we
protect the environment and conserve our natural resources, not for their own
sake, but for our people to live better lives in harmony with nature. We cannot
18
protect the environment and not protect life. Let us give our children a world better
than what we found and what we have.
