Filipinos say they have already experienced climate change but are optimistic about the future

NEW research from global professional services company Gutteridge Haskins & Davey (GHD) reveals 95 percent of surveyed Filipinos feel they have experienced the effects of climate change, compared to a 10-country average of 64 percent. Furthermore, 94 percent of Filipinos say the government should spend more to protect communities from water related climate change events such as storms, floods and rising sea levels.

GHD's Crossroads intergenerational equity research is based on a comprehensive survey, conducted across ten countries: Australia, Canada, Chile, New Zealand, Philippines, Qatar, Singapore, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom and the United States.
