EXECUTIVE SUMMARYiiiEXECUTIVE SUMMARYAbout 150 researchers, academicians, policymakers, and development workers representing 21countries attended the International Conference on Climate Change Impacts and Adaptation forFood and Environmental Security (ICCCIAFES) held on 21-22 November 2012 at the SoutheastAsian Regional Center for Graduate Study and Research in Agriculture (SEARCA) in Los Baños,Laguna, Philippines.The conference was jointly organized by SEARCA and the University of the Philippines Los Baños(UPLB) through its Interdisciplinary Program on Climate Change (IdPCC), with the Asia-PacificAdaptation Network (APAN), supported by the Institute for Global Environmental Strategies (IGES)in Japan, as major sponsor. Additional partners included the Food Security Center (FSC) at theUniversity of Hohenheim (UHOH), Germany and the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD);Asia-Pacific Network for Global Change Research (APN); Economy and Environment Program forSoutheast Asia (EEPSEA); United Nations World Food Programme (UNWFP); and the PhilippineClimate Change Commission (PCCC) as supported by the German Agency for InternationalCooperation (GIZ).Serving as a platform for exchange on the latest knowledge on climate change impacts andadaptation linked to food security and environmental sustainability, the scientific meeting hadthree plenary sessions and four parallel sessions on the following themes where a total of 44papers were presented:• Status, Prospects, and Practices on Climate Change Adaptation in Agriculture• Climate Change Impacts and Vulnerability• Climate Change Adaptation and Agriculture• Institutional and Economic Aspects of Climate Change Impacts and Adaptation• Systems and Tools for Analysing Climate Change Impacts and Vulnerability• Regional and South-South Collaboration in Research and Development• Networking for R&D and Capacity Building on Climate Change and Food andEnvironmental SecurityThe papers presented a wide range of new knowledge along with appropriate, indigenous or localtechnologies that can be used to address the impacts of climate change – not only as adaptationstrategies, but also for mitigation and increasing resilience. The initiatives described likewisevary widely in methods and approaches (simulation/modeling by experts to highly participatoryapproaches with direct involvement of end users in the field); differences in ecological zones(tropical forests, agroforestry systems, irrigated lowlands, dryland farms, fishpens in lakes, topelagic fisheries); and scale (breeding work/genetic level to household, community, up to regionalin scope).The aim is for lessons to be learned, good practices to be adopted or adapted and upscaled, andfor new collaborative initiatives to be undertaken – that environmental and food security shall beensured for the majority of Southeast Asia and other regions that are bearing the brunt of adverseimpacts of climate change.International Conference on Climate Change Impactsand Adaptation for Food and Environmental SecurityConference Summary Report
