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.

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.

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.
