Oscar M. Lopez Center

Climate science in the Philippines is still in its infancy. Though we have a well-trained cadre of researchers, we also have one of the lowest investments in climate research compared to the region’s other fast-developing nations. Recognizing this gap, our founder and Chairman Emeritus Oscar M. Lopez established the Oscar M. Lopez Center for Climate Change Adaptation and Disaster Risk Management Foundation, Inc. in 2012. It was envisioned as an institution that would support the generation of the science and technology needed for building resilient communities. The Center is built on the belief that no Filipino should face climate challenges unprepared. In arming people with up-to-date science and technology, we believe that climate crises can be averted.
