a Spatial distribution of cities across the three main island groups in the Philippines: Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao. GIS data for administrative boundary layers were sourced from the Philippine GIS Data Clearinghouse (http://philgis.org). b Climate and seasons in the country, with the 2014–2016 satellite-derived land surface temperature (LST) data during the hot dry season (source: https://modis.gsfc.nasa.gov). The climate and seasons in the Philippines were based on data from the official site of PAGASA-DOST (http://bagong.pagasa.dost.gov.ph) and the Project SARAi’s Training Toolkit–Volume 2: Climate, Weather, and Climate Change (http://sarai.ph/). c Diagram showing the nested hierarchical structure of the risk assessment framework employed to operationalize the IPCC’s risk concept in its AR5. Supplementary Table 1 lists the factors and indicators used. See Methods for details.
