Typhoons in particular pose a huge threat to the Philippines: according to Amnesty International in 2021, the archipelago was hit with an average of 20 typhoons per year, which create a tremendous amount of damage and leave millions homeless.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The progression of these climate threats in recent years has made more Filipinos concerned about climate change. In 2022, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) held a climate awareness survey wherein 64.3% of Filipinos said that they found \u201ca serious and immediate threat to the well-being of my country\u201d, and 33.3% said that climate change is \u201can important issue that deserves to be monitored.\u201d Additionally, on average Filipinos ranked the likelihood of climate change negatively impacting their life as 8.4 on a scale of 1 to 10, which was the highest ranking out of the 10 countries surveyed.\u00a0<\/span><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">However, in the same ASEAN survey, 66.2% of Filipinos were unsure if their country had net-zero carbon emissions goals and 13.5% wrongly responded that the Philippines had such goals in place. While climate change is discussed in secondary education classes, and most Filipinos are familiar with the effects of climate change, the country\u2019s actual actions and policies are not generally taught.<\/span><\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><div id=\"attachment_2301\" style=\"width: 566px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2301\" class=\" wp-image-2301\" src=\"https:\/\/www.science.smith.edu\/climatelit\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/97\/2024\/06\/Screenshot-2024-06-10-at-4.17.44\u202fPM-1-300x206.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"556\" height=\"382\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.science.smith.edu\/climatelit\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/97\/2024\/06\/Screenshot-2024-06-10-at-4.17.44\u202fPM-1-300x206.png 300w, https:\/\/www.science.smith.edu\/climatelit\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/97\/2024\/06\/Screenshot-2024-06-10-at-4.17.44\u202fPM-1-1024x702.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.science.smith.edu\/climatelit\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/97\/2024\/06\/Screenshot-2024-06-10-at-4.17.44\u202fPM-1-768x527.png 768w, https:\/\/www.science.smith.edu\/climatelit\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/97\/2024\/06\/Screenshot-2024-06-10-at-4.17.44\u202fPM-1-1536x1053.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.science.smith.edu\/climatelit\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/97\/2024\/06\/Screenshot-2024-06-10-at-4.17.44\u202fPM-1-624x428.png 624w, https:\/\/www.science.smith.edu\/climatelit\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/97\/2024\/06\/Screenshot-2024-06-10-at-4.17.44\u202fPM-1.png 2004w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 556px) 100vw, 556px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-2301\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A photo of a highway covered in smog in Manila, the capital city of the Philippines, taken in 2012 (from reuters.com).

This fact has been cited by the Department of Education as a key reason for establishing more widespread comprehensive climate change education. Additionally, growing concerns and activism about climate change from youth and Indigenous groups are another motivating factor for Filipino climate education.<\/span><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">One notable program is the Climate Action Training for Adolescents program, which offers online training to 10-18 year olds about climate science, adaptation and mitigation strategies, and suggests ways they could carry out those strategies in their communities. Participants are also able to create their own project proposals for community adaptation and mitigation strategies and receive seed funding to implement them.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Another way the Department of Education has tried to make climate change education more accessible has been through their Experts Explain videos, a five-part series of experts discussing subjects like climate change and sustainability. One important feature of this initiative is that it is geared towards students ranging from elementary to college level, meaning that a broader range of students are able to learn about these concepts.<\/span><\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><div id=\"attachment_2292\" style=\"width: 562px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2292\" class=\" wp-image-2292\" src=\"https:\/\/www.science.smith.edu\/climatelit\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/97\/2024\/06\/Screenshot-2024-06-10-at-3.42.16\u202fPM-300x241.png\" alt=\"Students from the Zamboanga del Norte National High School (ZNNHS) Turno Campus participating in a march for Youth Strike for Climate (from www.deped.gov.ph).\u00a0\" width=\"552\" height=\"443\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.science.smith.edu\/climatelit\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/97\/2024\/06\/Screenshot-2024-06-10-at-3.42.16\u202fPM-300x241.png 300w, https:\/\/www.science.smith.edu\/climatelit\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/97\/2024\/06\/Screenshot-2024-06-10-at-3.42.16\u202fPM-1024x822.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.science.smith.edu\/climatelit\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/97\/2024\/06\/Screenshot-2024-06-10-at-3.42.16\u202fPM-768x617.png 768w, https:\/\/www.science.smith.edu\/climatelit\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/97\/2024\/06\/Screenshot-2024-06-10-at-3.42.16\u202fPM-1536x1234.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.science.smith.edu\/climatelit\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/97\/2024\/06\/Screenshot-2024-06-10-at-3.42.16\u202fPM-624x501.png 624w, https:\/\/www.science.smith.edu\/climatelit\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/97\/2024\/06\/Screenshot-2024-06-10-at-3.42.16\u202fPM.png 1554w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 552px) 100vw, 552px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-2292\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Students from the Zamboanga del Norte National High School (ZNNHS) Turno Campus participating in a march for Youth Strike for Climate (from www.deped.gov.ph).<\/p><\/div><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A key feature of modern Filipino climate education is supporting student action for environmental change, particularly movements like the Youth Strike for Climate (image above).
