Sorsogon City, situated at the southern most tip of Luzon Island in the Philippines embarked on a participatory climate change vulnerability and adaptation assessment with support from UN- HABITAT’s Cities and Climate Change Initiative and the UN System-Spanish Government MDG Achievement Fund. The trigger for the Sorsogon City government in considering climate change more comprehensively were the two super typhoons that had hit and devastated the city in 2006. The assessment set out to understand its climate change vulnerability using as framework the city’s exposure, sensitivity and adaptive capacities to projected climate change.
