59 The agricultural sector is similarly affected. An estimated 413,456 farmers were directly affected by El Niño-associated dry spells during the last El Niño period.282 As agriculture is highly dependent on a stable environment, climate change impacts– whether prolonged droughts or intense rain and flooding–disrupt crop productivity and directly affects the farmer and farm workers’ income. Increased poverty, dangerous working conditions, lack of access to basic needs, food insecurity, and even loss of tradition all infringe on the Filipino farmers’ human rights. People living in informal urban settlements are also affected. They account for 45 percent of the Philippines’ urban population and they are particularly vulnerable to floods due to less secure infrastructure, reduced access to clean water, and lack of health insurance.283 f. LGBTQIA+ The LGBTQIA+ community, because of social stigma and discrimination, is especially vulnerable to exclusion, violence, and exploitation.284 Their already vulnerable situation is aggravated by the impacts of climate change, as members of the LGBTQIA+ community are frequently denied access to various social opportunities and infrastructure needed to cope with the impacts of climate change.285 There is minimal data on LGBTQIA+ rights in the Philippines, particularly in the context of climate change. Much of what has been said remains anecdotal. For instance, Jean, a transgender woman from Tacloban, Leyte, recounted that she was compelled to drop her lived name and revert to her registered birth name in order to be listed as a recipient of government relief goods.286 Moreover, according to Jean, the livelihood 282 to the Sixth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change [H.-O.
