Mekong farmers take part in climate adaptation planning
How do we scale up adaptation actions in agriculture, but ensure that they meet farmers' needs, are effective, and cost-efficient? A research project led by the International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT) in the Greater Mekong sub-region is finding new ways to connect local priorities, to Government plans and resources. In four sites across Viet Nam and Lao PDR, farmers themselves are examining climate change adaptation priorities and costs within agriculture systems.
Caitlin Corner-Doloff, a CIAT researcher, explains: A new perspective on adaptation prioritisation and costing in the Mekong region. The story was published by the Climate and Development Knowledge Network (CDKN), which is also funding the project via Sumernet, the Sustainable Mekong Research Network.
