📣 Climate Situationer in Select Regions in the Philippines: Assessing Climate Risks and Community Vulnerabilities in Luzon’s Key Regions
Contributed by: Barangay Vanguard, Interns from UP Open University
Komunida is proud to announce the release of a detailed Climate Situationer focusing on the climate risks and community vulnerabilities in three key Luzon regions: Metro Manila, Region 3 (Central Luzon), and Region 4 (CALABARZON). This resource was produced and contributed by Barangay Vanguard interns from UP Open University, reflecting Komunida’s dedication to empowering communities through climate resilience.
The situationer highlights urgent challenges such as increasing frequency of typhoons, severe flooding in Metro Manila due to urban congestion and poor drainage, agricultural disruptions in Region 3 caused by extreme weather, and coastal erosion threatening communities in Region 4. These realities directly inform and shape Komunida’s ongoing Resilience Builders program, which aims to equip youth and local communities with the knowledge and tools to respond effectively to climate threats.
By integrating localized climate data and community perspectives, this resource provides a foundation for targeted climate education, storytelling, and participatory workshops under the Resilience Builders initiative. Komunida extends its gratitude to the Barangay Vanguard interns for their valuable contribution and invites stakeholders to utilize this report to strengthen community resilience and climate action across Luzon.

Climate change is a matter of justiceÂ
It's finally official: 2023 was by far the world’s warmest year on record since 1850, and 2024 isn't done yet. Obviously, we are falling behind on our sustainable development goals and the promise to make this world a better place to live.
It was early September when I wrote this project proposal for the Youth Climate Justice Fund. With the rallying support and efforts from my co-founders at Komunida Initiative, we finally got this project approved and will begin the pilot implementation soon. Hard work has now paid off, and here come busier months ahead as we co-develop the toolkit centered around climate community narratives.
As much as we support and encourage climate action initiatives, it is also necessary to acknowledge the need for climate justice. As the UNDP Climate Promise would define it, climate justice means putting equity and human rights at the core of decision-making and action on climate change. It is high time to understand that there is unequal historical responsibility that countries and communities bear in relation to the climate crisis. And we, the youth, can do something about it!
Climate action and resilience are one, but climate justice is another that we should work and fight for.

In collaboration with Barangay Vanguard, we are initiating this open call for partners to find dedicated, energetic and passionate youth organizations from Regions 3, the National Capital Region, and Regions 4A and 4B. We are seeking partners interested in joining the Resilience Builders journey, as these regions are our priority areas for pilot implementation.Â
 Join us as we collectively strive for climate justice in our local communities!Â
