Stood Out Ideas on Climate Change Act

“The author was leaning in the curtain wall of their office building while watching the construction in the nearby area and it comes to his mind the effect of CO₂ whereas the construction materials come from. Likewise in the image, as shown above, this comes from the collection of the Blogspot website illustrated whereas Metro Manila was hit by the typhoon Ondoy. The author knows and understands that time of a massive urban development but prone to flooding and at the same time likely to graft and corruption under the past administrations after the beloved President Ferdinand Marcos whereas they molested Juan de la Cruz.”

Insight

The author didn’t imagine how it becomes, and is it because of people's activities? With all the repercussions, the environment suffers, and the incident multiplies that can’t count on how many times. Moreover, the author wants to stand up his concern on climate change action in the Philippines which is fantastic and has nothing to say about it, but there should be political will from the government side so that this will be implemented accordingly. The thought on climate change, however, anyone can change the world today as long as they are supporting the goal in mitigating climate change into a sustainable environment as well as treasuring such gifts from the almighty God n the prevention of natural resources.

Thoughts on the Climate Change Act

Adaptation is a general plan of action for addressing the impacts of climate change, including climate variability and extremes or can be said as adaptation strategies that include a mix of policies and measures that reduce vulnerability to climate change impacts. In the recent adaptation, accordingly, it is a combination of traditional and innovative strategies that are commonly used whereas more than 50% of the latest adaptation being focused on food security, terrestrial ecosystem, and water resources.

The type of climate change adaptation that is being considered as explained, however, with all the models, the author prefers to choose the Autonomous Adaptation and the Planned Adaptation for the climate change ways of adapting to sustain a vulnerable sustainable environment.

Furthermore, Autonomous Adaptation is an incremental change in the existing systems using existing knowledge and technologies as defined whereas changes in time of planting, changes in crops, and changes in cultivation. Additionally, the Autonomous Adaptation is mostly at the farm level, reactive and unplanned. Like what happens now in Manila under the leadership of Mayor Isko Moreno in renewing the existing city that had been molested by the grat and corrupt officials in the local government.

While the Planned Adaptation is proactive which is deliberately planned, which is a response agenda and undertaking before the climate change impacts ever happened; minimize potential losses and damages, increase resilience and reduce vulnerability. Additionally, Planned Adaptation usually involves the changes in or transformation of the broader systems as the changes in policies, changes in institutional arrangements, and changes in players and roles. This is like what happened to the President of the Philippines, President Duterte who has the guts and political will in governing the country towards a sustainable environment in protecting the lives of the Filipinos and sovereignty. One of his achievements that the author already published is the massive changes in Manila Bay.

Climate Change Adaptation element is concerned with the Natural Resources Conservation. The conservation includes soil, water, forests, and biodiversity because of the fact that the conservation of the natural resources aims to sustain the various ecosystem where the concept of the natural resources conservationists are passionate involves about protecting the environment that provides a swift and protection of the ecosystem services is critical to agricultural production. However, with the natural resources will supply as sources of freshwater for the irrigation system and processing of farm products in the development of the country into a sustainable environment.

Natural Resources Conservation involves public policy and sustainable development, however, the conservation of the natural resources itself is multidisciplinary, covering the topics in resource management, recreation, development, and ecosystems. The biology, ecology, botany and other natural sciences are also essential components in the conservation that will help the community in protecting the inclusive and sustainable agricultural and rural development; where our study concerned ISARD, which is an emerging paradigm for promoting the sustainability of agricultural and rural development. In return, will be the incremental revenue in contribution to the socio-economic development of the country at all as explained.

Conclusion and Findings

With the current environmental trends in adaptation globally, in which from information campaign to awareness of building adaptation to climate change is now more focused on the design and implementation. However, using their plans and strategies whereas all the concerned parties are now equipped and more educated on how they can use and promote whether by protecting or prevention the contribution to climate change as an adaptation process as well as with the Inclusive and Sustainable Agricultural and Rural Development.

Hence, adaptation is usually implemented parallel with the pursuit of development goals. Through which is the link between the farm-related adaptation to natural resources conservation and other sectoral purposes that need to be enhanced — additionally, an adaptation of the combination of top-bottom and bottom-up approaches which are now in common, and different strategies as explained, and the cooperation of the governmental sector. And to let you know, and up to now, climate change is always a burning the issue in today’s generation where the world was alarmed on how to mitigate this kind of phenomenon and argument for the SR15 target.

The question is, will the rich countries do it honestly and will be prompted on their promise in controlling the situation? What do you think? But look at the image below from John Locher of Deseret News (Figure 02); do we need to wait for another tragic experience to come for us to learn more? The author’s side, and think it’s too much; we need to do something now!
