5th Asia-Pacific Climate Change Adaptation Forum
17 – 19 October 2016, Colombo, Sri Lanka
The 5th Asia-Pacific Climate Change Adaptation Forum will bring together policymakers, scientists, donors, youth, and representatives from over 50 countries.
For 2016, the theme “Adapting and Living below 2°C: Bridging the Gaps in Policy & Practice” will explore platforms and concrete pathways for even greater partnerships by governments, civil society and business.
Through the NAP-Ag Programme, a session will be held on Horizontal Integration: Linking Arigulture into adaptation plans
Session objectives:
- To share national experiences on how to identify and integrate climate change adaptation measures for the agricultural sector into relevant national planning and budgeting processes (example from Thailand and Vietnam);
- To introduce observational and experimental impact assessment methods and their applications to agriculture sectors in light of adaptation impact monitoring for NAP;
- To generate discussions on identification of effective and appropriate adaptation impact monitoring methods for policy makers and practitioners to bridge gaps between policy and practice.
