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. Multiple climate-related hazards threaten at least 60 percent of the country's land mass, where 74 percent of the population lives. People living within coastal areas and people living in dense cities due to rapid urbanization are at high risk of flooding related to sea level rise and extreme heat. Lower income city dwellers and displaced peoples are also exposed to greater harms from climate hazards and disasters because they live in informal settlements that have little protection and infrastructure and do not have the resources to cope. Climate change exploits social vulnerabilities and worsens health outcomes for certain groups such as children and the elderly who are more at risk of infectious disease because of their lower immune systems and mobility limitations. People with lower incomes are also further disadvantaged due to limited job opportunities caused by climate change and climate-related natural disasters. Shifts in temperature, rainfall patterns, and humidity in the Philippines influence infectious organisms linked to the spread of disease. Mosquito populations have increased substantially, leading to an uptick in diseases such as dengue and malaria that are highly sensitive to weather changes. Floods harm sanitation and contaminate water, providing for the incubation and greater spread of disease and also contributing to a lack of available drinking water. Detrimental effects of climate change to crop growth and higher food prices with less production have contributed to food insecurity and malnutrition, which has significantly harmed child development.
