Addressing loss and damage from climate change in the Philippines: Lived experiences of indigenous farmers in Atok, Benguet

The Manila Observatory, through the generosity of Heinrich Böll Stiftung Southeast Asia and in partnership with Benguet State University, developed a policy brief addressing the complex issue of Loss and Damage (L&D), with a specific focus on indigenous farmers in Atok, a municipality in Benguet Province, Philippines. 


It emphasizes the need for community-based risk-sharing systems, better government support tailored to highland farmers, and integrating indigenous knowledge into climate adaptation planning.
