10 Policy Implications and Future Directions<br />
This pilot study project has raised awareness among policy maker and public<br />
sectors in the region regarding the climate change issues; however, in developing the<br />
climate change policy, the policy maker still requires more explicit answer regarding<br />
climate change impact, vulnerability and adaptation on various key systems, which need<br />
more study to confirm. In addition, the study on climate change impact under this<br />
regional study is base on long timescale, which is too long for the policy planning scope<br />
of any country in the region. Future study may need to focus on the issue of climate<br />
change impact in shorter timescale or address more on the climate variability that may<br />
change its pattern from climate change influence. Furthermore, more involvement from<br />
the policy maker and policy implementing agency should also be planned for the future<br />
activity. Pilot implementation, which may help building resilience to climate impact that<br />
has immediate as well as long-term benefit, such as seasonal climate forecast, may be<br />
further explored and pilot test be implemented.<br />
The climate change has impact on both bio-physical systems as well as socioeconomic<br />
aspects, and in many cases, need to be considered in regional scale as it may<br />
impact large geographic coverage and may have consequences that are trans-boundary.<br />
Furthermore, the efforts to cope with climate change impact in one location may cause<br />
side effect the other locations or systems or sectors, which could also be trans-boundary<br />
issue. This call for regional collaboration to jointly look into the issues together in order<br />
to establish and share common understanding on the impact and adaptation in bigger<br />
picture at regional scale, of which would ultimately lead to the adaptation strategy that<br />
could be implemented collectively under holistic approach to achieve better efficiency<br />
and effectiveness in coping with the climate stress and also help avoid conflict that may<br />
arise from discreet planning and implementation.<br />
