CAPaBLE Funded Projects- 2006/2007
Comprehensive Research Project

CRP2006-03NMY

Title

Climate Change in Southeast Asia and Assessment on Impacts, Vulnerability and Adaptation on Rice Production and Water Resources

Countries Involved

Southeast Asia: Thailand, Lao PDR, Viet Nam, Cambodia (Australia)

Project Leader

Dr. Attachai Jintrawet, Multiple Cropping Center, Faculty of Agriculture, Chiang Mai University

Project Focus climate change, hydrological regime, and rice production
Summary of Project

This research aims to produce high resolution long-term regional climate scenarios as well as near-term climate prediction for the Southeast Asia region and analyze the sensitivity and exposure of food crop agriculture system as well as hydrological regime in the major watersheds in Southeast Asia to future climate risk based on the climate scenarios. The sensitivity analysis will provide information on how climate change may impact food production and water resource in the selected study areas in the Southeast Asian countries. The exposure of the system to climate risk and the sensitivity of the systems to climate change will lead to identifying “hot spot” for the vulnerability and adaptation assessment, which would give fundamental information for the policy makers in the region for developing future climate policy planning. The output of the project will contribute directly to the preparation of Second National Communication to UNFCCC for the countries in the region as well as to the IPCC assessment report.
