Typhoon Effects on Enterprises in the Philippines (TEMPEST)


TEMPEST aims to better understand the economic effects of typhoons. The project will focus on business in the Philippines – the worldʼs most typhoon-prone country.

Climate change is making typhoons stronger and more frequent. These powerful storms can cause widespread damage, death, and loss of livelihoods. As global warming continues, typhoons are expected to become even more destructive, increasing the urgency of understanding their economic impacts. This knowledge is vital to guide public policies for climate-resilient economies, particularly in vulnerable and low-income regions.
