The Philippines will always be one of the most vulnerable countries to impact climate change because of it’s limited resources. Because there are many floods and droughts throughout there are serious negative impacts on the country that will affect more and more as the years go by, and there will be many people having very minimal amounts of water(hydrosphere) to use. The hydrosphere is the most impacted but the biosphere is impacted along with it because without water there will be no crops to grow or water for the people to drink. With over 98 million people and an archipelago of over 7, 100 islands the Philippines is known as the country that will be impacted the most from climate change.
