• Vietnam, Cambodia
and Laos - most
vulnerable in the
region; hotspots
Addition:
• Indonesia - mitigate impact
of oil palm as driver of
deforestation
• Philippines - mitigate effect
of sea level rise
• Myanmar - future expansion
Focus countries

Agrarian and
rural
communities
are more
vulnerable to
climate change
and poverty and
are increasingly
becoming more
food insecure
Low income
from agriculture
Low adaptive
capacity
Increasing
variability
in weather, sea
level rise,
and increasing
frequency of
extreme events
Low farm
productivity
Imperfect
agricultural
markets and
institutions
(i.e credit, tenure,
etc.) leading to
low prices,
high transactions
costs etc.
Landscapes
and
ecosystems
are heavily
degraded.
Agricultural/
forestry
policies
unresponsive
to the needs
of agrarian
and rural
communities
Increased
GHGs from
other sectors
Increased
GHGs from
agriculture (i.e
rice, oil palm
and livestock)
Unsustainable
agricultural
practices
(i.e. high
emission
agricultural
cultivation,
commodity
based/ single
cropping, etc.)
Agricultural
practices that are
not responsive to
changing climates
Persistent

(i.e. agriculture

ministries)

Simplified/ General
Regional Impact Pathway
• Public and private sector
implementing CC measures
• Integration of CC adaptation
and mitigation measures in
regional and nat’l plans
• Millions of
farmers/communities
practicing climate-smart
technologies
• Resilient agriculture for
stable food supply and
adequate access
Behavioral changes
in NEXT USERS
(ministries, research
institutions, private
sector, etc.) leads
to increase in uptake
of CCAFS generated
practices and processes
(i.e. scaling up and out)

Priority R4D interventions
F1: Climate-smart agricultural practices
1. Modalities to link climate smart
villages (CSV) with bigger
landscapes and administrative
units
2. Effective strategies and policy
measures at village to sub-
national level
3. Innovative incentive
mechanisms to support climate
smart villages and rural
development
1. CSA tool boxes for various
stakeholders and decision
support systems for policy,
planning & forecasting
2. Knowledge management
and exchange (e.g. forum,
mass media, internet and
mobile phone apps)
3. Capacity building program
(training, institutions &
facilities)

9
F2: Climate information services and climate informed safety nets
1. Information on farmers’ demand
for climate services and
strengthened capacity to
effectively share them.
2. Innovative schemes to
communicate appropriate
agricultural knowledge & practices
enriched with climate smart
information.
3. Early warning systems to response
mechanisms
4. Weather-related insurance in SEA
countries
1. Capacity established to
understand and act on agro-
meteorological information
needs
2. Systems enhanced to develop
high-quality historical climate
data, forecast products,
advisories, and impact outlooks
3. Communication channels
established to deliver climate
products and enable usage
enhance climate resilience.

10
F3: Low-emissions agricultural development
1. Approaches/strategies for up-
scaling/out-scaling mitigation
measures
2. Improved landscape governance
and effectiveness of sustainability
initiatives for agricultural industries
3. Vigorous incentive systems
practices in mitigating GHG and
CC adaptation
4. Regional support systems
1. Quantification methods +
Measuring, reporting and
verification (MRV)
2. Decision support tools and sets
of options (innovations
systems)
3. Feasibility of low-emission
agriculture tested for
compatibility with development
objectives.

11
F4: Policies and institutions for climate-resilient food systems
1. Policy and institution action
mapping methods and high-impact
intervention points
2. Policy information sharing platform
on CC
3. Methods for country-wide scaling-
up of CSV experiences and
analysis of CSA roadmaps
4. Recommendations for regional
and national level climate smart
agricultural policies guided by
social and gender differentiation
1. Multilingual and user friendly
knowledge-generation and sharing
platforms, at national and regional
level.
2. Transparent and efficient
stakeholder quality consultation
mechanisms from local to regional
level.
3. Effective CSA policy coordination,
implementation, and monitoring &
evaluation of options and
recommendations.
