Reducing Climate Risks for Rice Farmers in the Philippines

This policy brief examines climate change risks for rice farmers in the Pangasinan and Tarlac provinces of the Philippines, highlighting the severe impact of typhoons and intense rain on farm income and projecting future rainfall changes for the region.

• In the Pangasinan and Tarlac provinces of the Philippines, typhoons and continuous intense rain are the most frequent climate-related hazards, causing farm income losses between 70% and 90% of the total value of losses in both upland and lowland rice farms.
• Downscaled climate scenarios for 2020, 2050, and 2080 indicate different rainfall projections for the two provinces: Tarlac is expected to experience a drier dry season and more pronounced rainfall during the wet season, whereas Pangasinan is likely to see increased rainfall throughout the entire year.
