Naga City may be the next Tacloban – WWF

Naga City may be the next Tacloban City in terms of vulnerability to the havoc wreaked by climate change, a new study on urban business prospects under climate change found.

To help Pinoy cities prepare for climate impacts, World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF-Philippines) and the Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI) Foundation have launched the latest version of “Business Risk Assessment and the Management of Climate Impacts,” a multi-year study which examined economic and climate trends to predict and prepare for likely future scenarios. “Baseline data findings are synergized with local stakeholder inputs to craft each city’s adaptation strategy,” explains Florendo Maranan, BPI Foundation executive director and SVP.
