Effects of climate change on health in the Philippines

The effects of climate change on health in the Philippines are significant, heightening risks of vector and water-borne diseases and illnesses, mental distress and illness, and food and water insecurity while also aggravating existing health inequalities for the population of over 110 million people. The Philippines is one of the world's most climate-vulnerable countries, ranking first on the World Risk Index's assessment of countries' natural disaster risk and internal vulnerabilities for the third year in a row in 2024.
