Capability Enhancement of the Local Experts from State Universities and Colleges in Assessing Climate Change Vulnerability and Adaptive Capacity of Crop-based Farming Systems in Various Agroecological Settings

This is a capability enhancement project where agricltulture experts from various state universities and colleges (SCUs) in the Philippines were provided with knowledge on climate change and effects on Philippine agricultural systems and were equipped with skills on community-level vulnerability assessment which are requisites for a more relevant role in planning /implementing site specific adaptation measures for agriculture and the farming communities facing climate change adversities. The project enabled participating SCUs to identify site-specific adaptation measures for agriculture and disseminate information to local policy makers, local leaders, farming community and other stakeholders about the vulnerability of production systems in their regions.
