Association of Southeast Asian Nations Plus Three Climate change and food security Workshop Summary April 2011 Climate change and food security in ASEAN +3 Table of Contents Workshop Summary ....................................................................................................................................... 3 Agenda ................................................................................................................................................................. 9 Participants List ............................................................................................................................................ 14 2|Page Workshop Summary Background From 29 to 31 March 2011, FAO in collaboration with partners from the ASEAN Secretariat, the World Meteorological Organization and the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, organized a workshop on the topic of “Climate change and food security in ASEAN +3” in Beijing. The workshop was attended by 39 experts from across the region. The regional workshop on “Climate change and food security in ASEAN +3” was based on a similar successful workshop on the same topic hosted by FAO and WMO in South Asia in 2008. ASEAN is one of the most dynamic regions in the world, which has over the past few decades made significant and lasting economic and social progress. However, despite great progress, this region is still home to a quarter of the worlds undernourished. Due to population growth, rapid urbanization and increasing competition for natural resources in the region, it is expected that food security will remain a concern in the near and medium term. Climate change will compound these challenges further. Workshop objectives Within this context, the objectives of the workshop were: 1) To assess the impacts of climate change on agriculture, forestry, fisheries and land and water resource management in the ASEAN Plus Three countries; 2) To analyze their implications for food security and livelihoods in major agroecosystems/geographical regions; 3) To discuss policy, institutional and technical options for climate change adaptation and mitigation; and 4) To identify priority areas and proper mechanisms for regional coordination and cooperation. Workshop roadmap To meet these objectives the workshop roadmap: 1) Started with a broad overview of climate change and food security in ASEAN+3 including a review of observed and anticipated future impacts; 2) Then identified the specific issues and strategies for climate change adaptation and mitigation at the sector and agro-ecological/geographical level; and 3) Finished with discussion of areas for priority action and possible mechanisms to improve regional responses to issues of climate change. 3|Page Prioritizing Identifying issues & strategies Overview Session 2 Overview – Climate change & food security Session 3 Impact of climate change – Sector perspectives Session 4 Policy & institutional mechanisms to respond to climate change Session 5 & 6 Responses at the agoecological level Session 7 Issues for regional cooperation Session 8 Priority areas and mechanisms for regional cooperation Figure 1 – Workshop Roadmap Climate change The workshop began with a broad overview of climate change and food security in ASEAN+3 including a review of observed and anticipated future impacts. Some of the observed changes in climate variables in the ASEAN region shared by the group included: – Average temperature in Southeast Asia has increased 0.1–0.3 degrees celsius per decade over the last 50 years; – Extreme weather events in Southeast Asia have increased in the past several decades; – Precipitation in Southeast Asia trended downward from 1960 to 2000;and – Sea levels have also risen in Southeast Asia in the last few decades, between 1 and 3 mm per year on average, marginally higher than the global average. Some of the anticipated future impacts of climate change shared by the group included: – Mean regional temperature increase between 2.5 & 4.8 degrees celsius without mitigation; – Indonesia, Thailand & Vietnam to experience drier weather over the next 20-30 years; – Global mean sea level to rise 70 cm; and – Changes in precipitation difficult to predict, but will likely be higher in most countries. Climate change and food security in ASEAN +3 With this background the group then discussed how these changes in climate variables will affect food security. A presentation was given on the FAO framework for analyzing how changes in climate variables can impact on food production systems and food security. The group heard that, in simple terms, changes in climate will alter the basic 4|Page environmental systems and services that underpin our regional food systems. Over time these changes could lead to a deterioration of food production assets and processes and, eventually food security. Further the group was informed that changes in the elements of food security at the national and regional level can result in changed food consumption patterns, which will have flow-on impacts for human and overall nutritional status. How changes in nutritional status impact on and interact with other human drivers of climate change such as population growth, economic growth and technological innovation will determine if and how particular food system changes will feedback into the system in combination with additional, future changes in climate variables. Food security situation in ASEAN +3 A brief overview was then provided of the current food security situation in Asia and ASEAN. While Asia and the pacific is home to more than half the world’s undernourished, strong growth in ASEAN has meant that it has fared better than other countries in Asia improving access to food and nutritional standards. But, there are still a significant proportion of undernourished people in ASEAN nations. Based on a range of recent economic projections, most of which do not properly account for the potential impacts of climate change, incomes in the region are expected to grow steadily. This will continue to improve the regional food security situation. However, when combined with the regional climate outlook that was presented earlier in the workshop, these forecasts could appear prematurely optimistic; particularly in countries like Cambodia and Lao PDR which are still at relatively early stages of economic development. Responding to climate change in ASEAN +3 After discussing how climate change impacts on food security the group turned its attention to identifying appropriate responses to the challenge of climate change and creating more resilient food systems that will improve and, eventually, preserve longterm regional food security. Adaptation The group agreed that adaptation strategies are an important and apt form of response to climate change. In the context of food security, adaptation strategies: 1) Protect local food supplies, assets and livelihoods against the effects of increasing weather variability and increased frequency and intensity of extreme events; 2) Avoid disruptions or declines in global and local food supplies due to changes in temperature and precipitation regimes, through better and more systematic approaches to natural resource management; and 3) Protect ecosystems, through provision of environmental services. Some of the adaptation options identified by the group included: 5|Page Better information & risk management - General risk management and management of risks specific to different ecosystems using harmonized data and information systems. Drought/flood resistant crop varieties - Research and dissemination of crop varieties and breeds adapted to changing climatic conditions. Aqua-farming on low lying areas – Measures to couple aquaculture operations with agriculture irrigation systems. Improved infrastructure for water capture & storage – Strategies include more efficient agricultural water management, more efficient management of irrigation water on rice paddies and watershed protection measures. Capacity to adapt During discussions on the agro-ecological/geographical impacts of climate change some in the group noted that due to a range of factors including susceptibility to and frequency of extreme weather events and income levels, the capacity of communities to adapt varied across the region. Generally, capacity to implement adaptation strategies will be weakest in poorer countries in the region. As a result, special support is required to ensure food security is not compromised by climate change in these countries. Mitigation options The group also considered mitigation strategies to respond to the challenge of climate change and food security. Incorporating mitigation activities into the food system is important because agriculture and forestry are also responsible for more than 30 percent of total global GHG emissions. It has been estimated that about 50 percent of the global technical mitigation potential in agriculture could be realized in Asia through removing, reducing, avoiding or displacing emissions. Some of the mitigation options identified by the group included: – Rehabilitating soils & better fertilizer management; – Better livestock management through measures such as biogas systems; – Improved agriculture technologies & practices for example wider use of no till and conservation agriculture; and – Reduced emissions from deforestation and forest degradation. The group noted that while some mitigation strategies may also have adaptation benefits others may involve trade-offs. Therefore, it is important to assess these tradeoffs and target strategies that lead to beneficial synergies. Importance of existing strategies Another theme that arose out of the individual sector presentations and subsequent discussions was that existing strategies for sustainable development should be considered an important element of a regional response to climate change. In every sector, in every country in the region, governments and experts have already invested considerable resources into encouraging more sustainable practices. 6|Page These strategies which include programs such as REDD and sustainable land and water management, advocate a range of good practices that are often also the most effective strategy to improve the resilience of food system assets to climate change. Mechanisms for regional cooperation Having identified a number of issues and strategies for climate change adaptation and mitigation at the sector and agro-ecological/geographical level, the group turned its attention to regional mechanisms or frameworks to facilitate action. A number of different mechanisms were identified to encourage and facilitate better regional cooperation. Most suggestions provided fit under the following five categories: Awareness raising - One significant challenge identified by the group was a lack of political will and leadership in the region regarding issues of climate change. The group believed that unless the general population demanded more action from their leaders on climate change they will continue to pay lip service, but delay real action. It was agreed that more could be done to highlight that action is needed at multiple levels including the individual, community, national and regional levels. Capacity building – With regard to climate change and the implications for regional food systems, the group felt that regional capacity was still low. The group suggested creating an ASEAN climate change experts network or centre as a possible mechanism to improve regional capacity on climate change issues. Research and development – The group agreed that more research was required to both better understand the regional implications of climate change for the food system and identify suitable strategies and technologies for adaptation and mitigation activities. While the group had ‘scratched the surface’ a deeper and more coordinated, long-term approach was considered necessary to ensure appropriate action. Information sharing – Linked to R&D was the strong belief that the sharing of climate related data and information should be simple and effortless. The group discussed the role that ASEAN could play in facilitating the sharing of information through its various regional frameworks. The regional institutional architecture to coordinate action on climate change issues was discussed in more detail during the final session of the workshop. Financing – The group acknowledged that all of the ideas that they discussed would need to be underpinned by appropriate financing. A number of existing climate finance options were discussed including GEF and CDM. However, the group believed some type of region specific financing mechanism is desirable. Some in the group suggested a regional fund for climate adaptation and mitigation research should be established. Regional cooperation The group also considered who would be able to coordinate the mechanisms they had identified. ASEAN presented an overview of the regional institutional architecture that 7|Page could be employed to coordinate action on climate change. Of particular importance are the ASEAN Climate change initiative and the ASEAN Integrated food security network. In agriculture, forestry and fisheries ASEAN is also developing a multi-sector framework on climate change and food security. To close the meeting the group briefly discussed how these regional mechanisms could be better integrated to improve climate change related action at the national level. The group agreed that harmonized climate information and data could be fed into the multisector framework to strengthen ongoing country level action to implement sustainable practices such as REDD, sustainable water management etc. ASEAN Integrated food security framework Harmonized information and data collection: 1) Baselines 2) Observed climate change impacts 3) Forecast models of regional climate change impacts 4) Impact of climate change on food security assets ASEAN Sector group on agriculture & forestry ASEAN Multi-Sector Framework on climate change – Agriculture, fisheries & forestry ASEAN Climate change initiative Sector specific responses Sustainable fisheries & aquaculture Sustainable land management REDD Sustainable water management Figure 2 - Possible ASEAN Mechanism for responding to climate change & food insecurity Follow-up As follow-up, this workshop summary was presented to a senior officials meeting of the ASEAN Ministries of Agriculture and Forestry in May 2011. The proposals above for how to coordinate the various efforts on climate change and food security in ASEAN were also submitted to the ASEAN secretariat for further action. ASEAN committed to undertake this activity in conjunction with its efforts to develop the ASEAN Climate Change Initiative and the ASEAN Multi-Sector Framework on climate change and food security.
