Consumers for Renewable Energy Action in Mindanao Project Director Bencyrus G. Ellorin warned that melting global ice directly contributes to rising sea levels.
As global temperatures shift, runoff from melting ice flows into ocean systems, increasing vulnerabilities for coastal communities.
Joint assessments by the CDRRMD and CLENRO indicate an elevated storm surge risk for Cagayan de Oro City.
Consequently, the official clarified that all coastal barangays in the city currently face heightened exposure to marine geohazards.
