In this GEx-Manila-Tacloban: Disaster Resilience and Climate Adaptation, we explore how people live with vulnerabilities to environmental disaster in the age of climate crisis, and what it means for them to adapt and become resilient. Students engage with NGOs, urban designers, grassroots organizations, scientists, writers, and disaster-affected people across two cities of the Philippines—Manila (as the National Capital Region) and Tacloban, Leyte (a provincial city). From this vantage, we compare issues and anticipations meaningful across different localities. The course is arranged so that students encounter the diverse ways vulnerability, resilience and adaptation are understood, focusing on inequality and inclusivity in disaster risk reduction practices.
