MANILA, Philippines—The average temperature in the Philippines is expected to rise by 1.8 C in 2050, but the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) stressed that climate change is already happening—that it is no longer a distant threat, it is already the reality.

Pagasa pointed out that current warming has increasingly posed serious challenges to people and the environment, and will continue to do so in the years to come, saying that its adverse effects are already being seen and may intensify extremely over time, especially if nothing is done to lessen emissions of greenhouse gases.
