In the Philippines, where typhoons and extreme heat are intensifying, young people are not only witnessing the climate crisis, but they are also living it. The research project <\/span>Rising Faster Than the Sea Levels<\/span><\/a> is working to understand and support the mental health and wellbeing of Filipino youth as they navigate the climate crisis.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The study is an example of co-developed research done with researchers including Dr John Aruta from De La Salle University, researchers at the Climate Cares Centre and codesigned by the Young Person Advisory Group (YPAG). Sophia Pahulayan, a recent graduate of Dr Aruta\u2019s, is a project facilitator who helped to manage the project and cofacilitate the group discussions alongside young people, a vital linking point between the young cohort and the researchers. This was especially true due to Sophia\u2019s previous research, passion for climate change work, and her ability to speak the local Bisaya dialect in a country with hundreds of dialects and local languages.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Involving young people in research<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Sophia recruited young people in the area to join the committee which was part of the decision-making process for the research materials and group discussion conversations. This helped to make the project more relevant to the experiences of young people when conducting semi-structured group discussions. This project helped to create spaces where young people can share their experiences of climate change and feel less alone. What makes this more natural free-flowing approach powerful and inclusive is its emphasis on solidarity and active listening. Sophia noted about the young people involved that: \u201cthey realised that they\u2019re also basically the same. They may express it differently, but the core of the problem is the same.\u201d The project tailors its methods to local contexts, using dialect and culturally resonant questions to foster trust and connection.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0\"\" <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Connecting the climate crisis to our feelings<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Sophia explained that the initial prompts were focused on big topics and concepts around climate change and mental health before YPAG realised that the better approach would be to focus on how local changes affected them and those they cared about. While young people may not always have the precise language for climate anxiety, they are deeply aware of how the climate has changed in their lifetimes. \u201cThey notice it has gotten different from when they were younger,\u201d Sophia said, \u201cthey could still play outside during the summer, but now it’s not the same\u201d. She also highlighted how they wanted the young people to make that connection between the climate crisis they\u2019re seeing to the emotional struggles and the general anxiety they have when talking about the future.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Validation and Empowerment<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

For the young people, the project provides a space for validation and empowerment. As Sophia explains, their conversations are deeply intertwined with politics, as they are acutely aware of how government policy and corruption intensify climate catastrophes. They discuss painful memories like the mishandled billions in relief funds after <\/span>Typhoon Yolanda<\/span><\/a> which severely impacted their developmental years. The typhoon left survivors in their communities without adequate food, housing, or jobs and the corruption after made recovery even harder for the community. To finally voice these frustrations in a supportive environment is profoundly empowering. It transforms a sense of isolated helplessness into a shared realisation: \u201cI\u2019m not the only one thinking this way. I’m not the only one being concerned about this.\u201d This awakening fosters a powerful sense of solidarity, making them feel less alone and more emboldened to empathise and get involved with climate action with their peers, a link which has been highlighted in a <\/span>study<\/span><\/a> published in Educational and Developmental Psychologist. The study says that \u201cFilipinos who face a greater risk from climate consequences engage in actions that mitigate the climate crisis and prepare for future disasters.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"A<\/h2>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For Sophia personally, she describes the project as a source of hope and purpose. It allows her to connect with young people on a profound level, facilitating not just discussions but the birth of actionable ideas. Asked what she finds most rewarding about the project, Sophia explained that it is hearing participants say the sessions have given them hope and taught them things they never learned in school.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

Time for action<\/span><\/h2>\n

However, this hope is coupled with a driving urgency: \u201cit gives me hope, but at the same time it makes me feel like there’s so much more that we could do\u201d. While processing this emotional weight is crucial, Sophia is eager to take the project to the next level: moving from conversation to concrete action. The goal is to harness this newfound solidarity and sense of agency to help these passionate young people channel their feelings into tangible change within their communities, transforming hope into a resilient force for the future.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Sophia<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The plan is to host spaces like the group discussions where young people and researchers alike can combine the therapeutic benefits whilst also allowing connections with their peers. Young people already working to address the climate crisis need to be provided with a space to collaborate and bring their ideas to life. However, the space also needs to be one where young people can unpack what\u2019s happened to them and deal with the trauma that was ever present when discussing climate disasters like Typhoon Yolanda. Spaces similar to <\/span>climate <\/span>cafes<\/span><\/a> can be healthy places to decompress and provide emotional support to young people looking to act against future climate events in their community. Sophia does emphasise that whatever is created must be \u201ctailored to our needs, to the needs of our community and our context.\u201d\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Now that the project team has completed the group discussions, they are working on designing interventions. On the 24 September they will be going to Cebu city in the Visayas region of the Philippines to present the preliminary results of the project. This should hopefully open the project to wider connections in the climate action space in the Philippines as a lot of the work takes place in the capital of Manila and few if any of the organisations in this climate crisis hotspot focus on mental health. The project has also just won $30,000 to expand their research in collaboration with John Aruta and Renzo Guinto and Duke University.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
