Climate change in Verde Island Passage
The severe impacts of climate change on the marine and human communities in the Verde Island Passage are reviewed in the hopes that adaptation may ensure their survival and well-being.
Adapting to climate change: maintaining ecosystem services for human well-being in the Verde Island Passage, Philippines
IAN's collaboration with Conservation International has produced this report and an accompanying newsletter on the effects of climate change in this region of the Philippines. The Verde Island Passage, located in the Coral Triangle—an area considered the center of the world's marine biodiversity—has a wealth of marine resources on which rests the livelihoods of millions of people, and which are vulnerable to increasing sea surface temperatures, sea levels, ocean acidity, storm activity, and rainfall.
The Integration & Application Network is an initiative of the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science.
