Climate change refers to the gradual rise in global temperatures and adjustments in weather patterns. This is primarily caused by greenhouse gases (GHG) released into the atmosphere either by natural forces, such as volcanic eruptions, or human activities, such as fossil fuels burning. GHG are said to envelop the earth’s surface preventing the sun’s heat from escaping, thus leading to global warming (United Nations, n.d.). This means more warmer days, extreme droughts, water scarcity, rise in sea water levels, heavier rainfall causing floods, more frequent devastating storms, among other climate hazards.

Philippine Rice Research Institute (PhilRice) is a government corporate entity attached to the Department of Agriculture created through Executive Order 1061 on 5 November 1985 (as amended) to help develop high-yielding and cost-reducing technologies so farmers can produce enough rice for all Filipinos.
