- 1. Facing the Challenges of the Environmental Situation (The National and Local Scenario) Prepared for Sangguniang Kabataan-Iloilo City during the JCI-Iloilo Week April 10, 2011
- 4. One of the major tribulations today is climate change
- 5. PFCs HFCs SF 6 Greenhouse gases (GHGs) trap heat from the sun to keep the Earth warm.

- 7. “ Warming of the Climate System ….. is unequivocal” (IPCC-AR4, 2007)
- 10. Climate change is considered one of the most serious threats to sustainable development, with adverse impacts expected on the environment, human health, food security, economic activity, natural resources and physical infrastructure. Scientists agree that rising concentrations of anthropogenically-produced greenhouse gases in the Earth’s atmosphere are leading to changes in the climate. According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the effects of climate change have already been observed, and scientific findings indicate that precautionary and prompt action is necessary.

- Our forest Host one of the world’s richest plant and animal species; global biodiversity rankings: 2 nd (fishes), 5 th (plants, trees, and mammals), and 8 th (reptiles) 3,000 species of plants which are endemic to the Philippines While the rest of the whole world discovers 1 specie per Taxa (family) per year, the Philippines discovers 5 or 6 specie per taxa per year one of the world’s 25 leading biodiversity hotspots, These 25 hotspots, although comprising only 1.4% of the earth’s land area, contain 44% of the world’s plant species and 35% of all terrestrial vertebrate species.
- Less than 100 years ago this was still 70 %! The destruction of Philippine forests has been described as the most rapid and most massive in the world. We need 54% forest cover to remain ecologically stable Critical: Hottest of the Hotspot 374 threatened species listed by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) 416 wildlife species listed in the IUCN Red List (endangered, close to extinction ) Causes : Legal Commercial Logging, Illegal logging, Massive forest conversion .
- During the start of Spanish colonization in the 1500’s natural forest cover was estimated at around 27M hectares. Over a 400 year period there was an estimated decline to 21Mhectares at the start of the 20 th century. The 1970’s recorded an all-time high of deforestation at a rate of about 300,000hectares per year. By the end of the decade, several islands were almost completely deforested or had less than 5% forest cover left. At the beginning of this year it is estimated that our natural forests declined further to about 7% of the 1900 benchmark.
- 95% OF OUR LAND IS MINERALIZED Estimated to provide more than enough materials to industrialize the country WORTH 840 BILLION TO 1 TRILLION DOLLARS TheMGB in 1996 estimated that the country has 7.1 billion tons of metallic mineralreserves and 51 billion tons of nonmetallics, primarily limestone and marble. TheForeign Chambers of Commerce of the (consisting of theAmerican, Australia-New Zealand, Canadian, European, Japanese, and Koreanchambers), and the Philippine Association of Multinational CompaniesRegional Headquarters, have projected the following benefits of mining to thePhilippine economy: five-year capital investments of US$3.2 billion, exportearnings of US$1.2 billion/year, tax revenues of PhP21 billion/year, directemployment for 6,000 and indirect employment for 24,000 people, and communitydevelopment worth PhP312 million/ year.
- These mining agreements cover around 600,000 hectares of highly mineralized lands, which has increased by roughly 17% from just 514,948 (2006)hectares since January 2007. IN 2007, mineral export value increased to $2.548 from $2.06 billion from 2006 and $820 million in 2005 Mining contribution to GDP remain small -- 1.3%
- Philippines is richest in marine biodiversity with around 2,500 fish species. Coral reef area, the breeding ground of marine life, is identified to be the richest in the world with 488 species of corals in 78 genera. Philippine archipelago has the longest discontinuous coastline in the world, has 24 major fishing bays and gulfs, half of these have annual yield levels of 50 metric tons 421 rivers, roughly 59 natural lakes, more than 100,000 hectares of freshwater swamps. Estimated water resource potential is 226,430 million cubic meters, 91% comes from surface water and 9% from ground water Storage capacity of 1.22 million cubic meters Ranks 59th in the world in terms of water availability and 55th for water withdrawal BUT INSPITE OF THESE RICHNESS MAJORITY OF OUR PEOPLE LIVES IN EXTREME POVERTY
