| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| in the Philippines are structures that are designed to be sustainable | Green buildings |
| help reduce a building’s carbon footprint and lower operational costs, benefiting both the environment and the bottom line. | Sustainable building solutions |
| is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. | Sustainable development |
| to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure that by 2030 all people enjoy peace and prosperity | Sustainable development goals |
| A process, phenomenon, or human activity that may cause loss of life, injury, or other health impacts, property damage, social and economic disruption, or environmental degradation | HAZARD |
| Quantitative product of likelihood (frequency) and impact (severity) | RISK |
| Process of estimating the potential impact of a chemical, physical, microbiological, or psychosocial hazard on a specified human population or ecological system under a specific set of conditions and for a certain time frame | RISK-ASSESSMENT |
| the process of evaluating the nature and probability of adverse health effects in humans who may be exposed to chemicals or other harmful substances in the environment | Health Risk Assessments |
| the process of evaluating the nature and probability of adverse ecological effects occurring as a result of exposure to physical or chemical stressors | Ecological Risk Assessments |
| A decision-making process through which choices can be made between a range of options to achieve the “required outcome”. | RISK MANAGEMENT |
| Involves people’s beliefs, attitudes, judgments, and feelings, as well as the wider social or cultural values that people adopt towards hazards and their benefits. | RISK PERCEPTION |
| The process of evaluating and predicting the likely impacts of projects (including cumulative impacts) on the environment during construction, commissioning, operation, and abandonment. | ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT |
| was adopted in 1992 with the ultimate aim of preventing dangerous human interference with the climate system. | United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (1992) |
| aimed to reduce the emission of gases that contribute to global warming. In force since 2005, the protocol called for reducing the emission of six greenhouse gases in 41 countries, plus the European Union. | Kyoto Protocol (1997 / 2005) |
| goal is to hold “the increase in the global average temperature to well below 2°C above pre-industrial levels” and pursue efforts “to limit the temperature increase to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels.” | Paris Agreement (2015 / 2016) |
| Warming beyond 1.5°C leads to disproportionately higher risks. For example, at 2°C, the frequency and intensity of heatwaves, droughts, and heavy rainfall events become much more severe than at 1.5°C. | Non-linear climate impacts: |
| A 1.5°C rise is projected to cause around 0.26–0.77 meters of sea level rise by 2100. At 2°C, the rise could be significantly higher and irreversible for centuries to millennia, threatening coastal infrastructure and low-lying countries. | Sea level rise: |
| At 1.5°C, 70–90% of coral reefs are projected to die. At 2°C, over 99% could be lost, devastating marine biodiversity and fisheries that rely on them. Species extinction rates and the degradation of key ecosystems | Ecosystem loss: |
| Food security is more stable under 1.5°C; beyond this, crop yields in vulnerable regions decline sharply. Health risks—from heat stress, vector-borne diseases, and malnutrition—become more widespread and severe with higher temperatures. | Human impacts: |
| Vulnerable communities—especially in developing nations and small island states—face disproportionate impacts. The difference between 1.5°C and 2°C can mean the difference between survival and collapse for them. | Climate justice: |
