Communicating climate change: bridging science and society
CGIAR Climate's insight:
"From prolonged droughts to heavy flooding, rising seas and erratic, fiercer typhoons, scientists have said in many scientific studies that climate change effects are already hitting the poor and vulnerable the hardest, including millions of people in the Philippines. While it is an overwhelming issue, climate change could well be the story of the century and it is important to bring it to the center of media coverage."
CCAFS and partners work towards a better public understanding of the risks and opportunities which climate change presents. This article mentions some of the work which CCAFS Southeast Asia, the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI), the World Agro-Forestry Center (ICRAF) and other partners are doing in the Philippines.
