Abstract: JAMISOLA, DAVE BRYAN C., SANTOS LAWRENCE E. & TOMAQUIN JADE LOWRIN S. CLIMATE CHANGE VULNERABILITY AND ITS IMPACTS ON ECO- TOURISM IN CAVITE, PHILIPPINES. Undergraduate Thesis. Bachelor of Science in Environmental Science. Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite. June 2022. Adviser: Engr. Jose Carlo Dizon This study was conducted from April to May 2022 in the province of Cavite to assess the climate change vulnerability of selected eco-tourism sites in Cavite. The study aimed to: 1). determine the level of climate change in Cavite, Philippines; 2). determine the degree of exposure to climate change of selected eco-tourism sites in Cavite, Philippines; 3). determine the degree of sensitivity to climate change of selected eco-tourism sites in Cavite, Philippines; 4). determine the degree of adaptive capacity to climate change of selected eco-tourism sites Cavite, Philippines; 5). determine the most influential climate change vulnerability component affecting the selected eco-tourism sites in Cavite, Philippines; and 6). propose strategies based on the identified vulnerability component affecting the selected eco- tourism sites in Cavite, Philippines. The 45-year climatic data from PAGASA was used and tallied to determine the level of climate change. It was also used to acquire the score of three indicators on exposure. An interview schedule was conducted to obtain the perceptions of the respondents to determine the rank of the remaining exposure indicators, sensitivity and adaptive capacity. Analytical hierarchy process was used to determine the weight each component. The result shows that the averages of annual mean temperature, annual precipitation and relative humidity for 45 years are 28.46°C, 2136.8 mm and 78.59%. Sensitivity ranked the highest based on the interview and AHP making it the most felt component. The eco-tourism in Cavite is moderately vulnerable to climate change as indicated by its VI of 0.6. Strengthening adaptive and mitigation measures and educating the employees are highly recommended.
