Building resiliency of smallholder farmers in upland farming communities in Isabela Province, Philippines

Smallholder upland farmers in the Philippines’ marginal hilly areas, particularly those practising continuous corn monocropping, are among the most vulnerable groups to climate shocks, including typhoons, drought and the recent COVID-19 pandemic. Sound science-based response strategies and measures, such as agro- forestry systems, are imperative to build the resilience of vulnerable smallholder upland farming communities....

Community resilience assessment to support climate change adaptation in Cambodia and Viet Nam

Rural communities throughout the Asia-Pacific are generally more exposed to climate-driven changes to their livelihoods than those in larger/urban communities. We developed and piloted a community resilience tool to be used to support climate change adaptation within existing development planning pathways. Our framework included 39 key questions based around outcomes related to (i) livelihoods and...
