Risk Vulnerability Area Assessment
A migratory bird serves as a weather forecaster/early warning device that when it sounds “kiling” it denotes the end of typhoon/rain and it’s the time of blooming of flowers.
When it sounds “kiwit” it denotes coming of another typhoon/rain that signal also the preparation of the IP
Risk Vulnerability Area Assessment• Indigenous communities are already
experiencing the dreadful impact of climate
change. Most of the Indigenous Peoples
(IPs) lives in remote areas and their means
of living is anchored on nature and weather
making them vulnerable to unpredictable
weather pattern being experience at
present. Examples: The traditional food
survivals of IPs such as native sweet potato,
native plants, native fish and shells in the
river, are already extinct.
…and so what• It is now recognized by the world that
Indigenous communities play an important role in the solution. Their influence in preserving ecosystems and mitigating climate change through forest carbon storage is vital. That strengthening indigenous communities’ forest rights is a low-cost strategy to safely store carbon that could contribute to minimize global warming (acknowledge by the International Indigenous Peoples' Forum on Climate Change (IIPFCC).
The indigenous communities look at climate change as a problem of the past, at present, the future and not just a future concern
