Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The intensifying El Niño conditions pose risks to water, food, and energy in the Philippines, prompting the Climate Change Commission to urge countries to incorporate climate risk into policies and investments. This climate risk directly threatens agricultural output and food supply chains in the region.

El Niño is causing prolonged heatwaves and low rainfall in Southeast Asia, impacting global supply chains and weather patterns worldwide.
