-susceptible to tsunamis, sea-level rise and storm surges which are associated with extreme weather events. Increasing urbanisation also poses a significant challenge to sustainable development, with over 40% of the population living in urban areas. This is expected to increase as the Philippine urban growth

-by-sector are different. For example, upland farmers would probably be less worried about the sea level rise impacts stemming from iceshelf melt in the Antarctic. However, all farmers could be exposed to the shutting down of the AMOC ocean circulation which would impose relatively cooler and drier

cities exposed to sea level rise, storm surges, erosion, and flooding. Over half of the region’s urban population now lives in coastal cities, attracted by job opportunities in industries linked to oil and gas, mining, agro-processing, and fishing. Most urban expansion is unplanned, opportunistic
