Merlie, on the left, eats with her customer at their submerged makeshift store in Laguna Lake in Rizal, Philippines, on July 26, 2025. Laguna Lake exceeds its critical level of 12.50 meters due to Typhoon Wipha and the southwest monsoon, reaching 12.62 meters as of July 24. This overflow severely impacts communities, as homes are submerged and thousands are displaced. Small businesses close, daily wage earners lose income, and local markets are disrupted, causing widespread financial hardship. The lake's vulnerability is exacerbated by severe environmental degradation, particularly from plastic and water pollution. Improper waste disposal and agricultural runoff continually flush contaminants into the lake, accelerating eutrophication and siltation, which further reduces its water-holding capacity.

The effects of climate change are happening now it may lose more than 10 percent of its land to sea-level rise within a few decades in at Kuakata Sea Beach Patuakhali District in Bangladesh on October 23, 2023. During the last two decades the impacts of climate in Bangladesh have been accellerating. Kuakata is also hit hard. The place is very vulnerable to cyclones and storm surges, which have become more frequent and intense in Bangladesh, as well as rising sea-level and stronger waves. The result is massive erosion and salininty intrusion, not only destroying farming land, but causing migration of thousands of people who lost their homes.
