C l i m a t e C h a n g e Climate change is one of the greatest threats to human rights of our generation, posing a serious risk to the fundamental rights to life, health, food, and on adequate standard of living of individuals and communities across the world (UNEP, 2015). In the Cordillera Administrative Region (CAR), manifestations of climate change are now felt by majority, most especially by upland farmers whose agricultural production is vulnerable to the increasingly unpredictable weather conditions. Although the local communities in the Cordillera region have been able to maintain a sustainable relationship with the resources through their indigenous knowledge and practices, climate change has severely affected the region’s agriculture sector (Sandoval Jr, R. S. and Baas, S. 2014). Being the head-agency mandated to address such issues on climate change, the Department of Environment and Natural Resources – CAR (DENR-CAR) has presented its monitoring report for its Climate Change Output Indicators for their programs in the Cordillera for January to June 2020: DENR-CAR Monitoring Report: Climate Change Output Indicators for the 1 st Semester ending June 30, 2020 PROGRAM Clean Air Program OUTPUT INDICATOR (in no.)
