Good Building Design and Construction in the Philippines experience in tragedy recovery during impacts of hazards in the Philippines and Indonesia. Olaf Neusser, is a disaster risk consultant for GTZ and has provided support for the assessment of building culture in Leyte and Samar through the effects of local catastrophe in the area. As the Philippines lies within the Pacific Ring of Fire where earthquakes and eruptions are more likely to occur as well as being at the edge of the Pacific Ocean where violent storms are likely to develop, proper construction philosophies and strategic location must be assessed so it can resist external forces.

Ocean acidification in the Arctic Ocean is thought that because of this, additional stressors such as ocean acidification, will cause ocean acidification effects on marine organisms to appear first in the Arctic. There exists a significant variation in the sensitivity of marine organisms to increased ocean acidification. Calcifying organisms generally exhibit larger negative responses from ocean acidification than non‐calcifying organisms across numerous response variables, with the exception of crustaceans, which calcify but were not negatively affected. The acidification of the Arctic ocean will impact these marine calcifiers in several different ways. The uptake of CO₂ by seawater increases the concentration of hydrogen ions, which lowers pH
