The researchers from these institutes had formed up a network, which was
initiated from their involvement in various processes in this pilot study. The study on
climate change and its impact as well as vulnerability and adaptation of various systems
and sectors still need to be further developed and expanded to wider range of research
network in the Southeast Asia region. More local research capacity needs to be developed,
which include the capacity of researcher itself as well as the network of collaboration
among the institutions and also forum to exchange research results and develop further
joint activity that may lead to further policy implementation.
In addition, tools, dataset, methodology, and approaches, which were developed
and used in this study, are made available to academic society and may be used as
foundation for other climate change research in the future. However, tools and data which
are vital for future study in climate change are still very much needed or be further
improved. Among various tools and data needed are climate model to generate high
resolution climate scenarios, which should be implemented locally within the region, in
order to create diversity for robustness on climate impact analysis.
2.5 National Communications, Science-Policy Linkages and Stakeholder Engagement
The next Second National Communications to UNFCCC would emphasize
substantially more on the impacts of climate change on natural system and human society
