MANILA, Philippines – Pasok ang labing-pitong lugar sa Pilipinas sa top 100 lugar sa mundo na pinaka-bulnerable sa lumalalang mapanirang epekto ng climate change-driven na weather extremes, ayon sa isang ulat.

Ito ay ang Occidental Mindoro, Oriental Mindoro, Pangasinan, Ilocos Sur, Eastern Samar, Zambales, Aurora, Northern Samar, Cagayan, Surigao del Sur, Nueva Ecija, Tarlac, Sulu, Leyte, Pampanga, Samar, at Southern Leyte.

Kinakalkula ng Gross Domestic Climate Risk ng assessor Cross Dependency Initiative (XDI) ang pisikal na panganib sa klima—dahil sa matinding lagay ng panahon at pagbabago ng klima—sa built environment sa mahigit 2,600 teritoryo sa buong mundo.

Sinusukat ng pag-aaral ang ratio ng pinsala, na tinutukoy nito bilang “an expression of the Annual Average Loss from extreme weather damage to a property as a fraction of the replacement cost of that property.”

Mayroong dalawang uri ng damage ratio: Aggregated Damage Ratio, na “looks at the total amount of damage to the built environment in a particular province”; at Average Damage Ratio, na “provides insight into states and provinces that may have fewer properties but which may be subjected to greater or more widespread damage, so the proportion of damage is higher.” RNT
