DocumentOther documentClimate-smart agriculture investments and policy implementation in Southeast Asia - Workshop report
Chiang Mai, Thailand, 21-24 January 2025
2025Also available in:
No results found.Agrifood systems in Southeast Asia require an urgent sustainable transformation to combat escalating climate change impacts. They also ensure food security as well as provide livelihoods for millions of small-scale farmers and fisherfolk. There is a pressing need to prioritize targeted climate investments in agrifood systems at the country and regional levels to address climate change mitigation and adaptation opportunities for the most vulnerable people and communities.This report from the "Climate-smart agriculture investments and policy implementation in Southeast Asia" workshop outlines strategic approaches to enhance access to climate finance and implement effective policies that align with countries' national climate plans, or Nationally Determined Contributions. The workshop report highlights six country climate foresight-driven project initiatives in Cambodia, the Lao People's Democratic Republic, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand, and Viet Nam that address key climate risks and opportunities for aquaculture and fisheries sectors, rice production, and climate-smart agriculture.The document presents outcomes from the ASEAN Climate Resilience Network's tenth anniversary celebration, which has provided an inclusive platform for regional cooperation on climate-smart agriculture. Special emphasis is placed on innovative financing instruments, including the Southeast Asia Agricultural Risk Finance Facility, which is being developed to strengthen smallholder farmers' resilience against climate shocks. These approaches demonstrate pathways toward a resilient and low-emission agrifood system transformation that balances environmental sustainability with economic growth and agricultural productivity across Southeast Asia. -

Briefing paper
2021Also available in:
No results found.Asia is the world’s largest producer of pork, comprising 56 percent of global pork production. Pig farming is the most important livestock related livelihood activity in the region contributing to about 20–30 percent of household income. With the largest share of market in terms of livestock production and relatively high emission intensities for beef and pork, Southeast Asia is also the second highest emitter of greenhouse gases (GHG) in the world. The ASEAN Strategic Plan of Action for Cooperation on Livestock (2016–2020) provides key signals and strategic direction for ‘sustainable livestock production and trade to contribute to growth, poverty alleviation, food security, and improved nutrition’. The ASEAN Negotiators Group on Agriculture (ANGA) developed a common position related to “improved livestock management systems, including agro pastoral production systems and others" (UNFCCC, 2020) and submitted to the Koronivia Joint Work on Agriculture (KJWA). The main purpose of this knowledge brief is to highlight the several key priority actions for the livestock sector and emphasized the need for scaling up financial support, technology transfer and capacity building needs for the livestock sector in order to advance work under the Koronivia Joint Work on Agriculture (KJWA). -
Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetFactsheetFactsheet: Increasing direct access to the Green Climate Fund for agriculture in Southeast Asia
A regional assessment of existing and potential Direct Access Entities
2025Also available in:
No results found.The Asia-Pacific, home to one quarter of the global population, has the highest proportion (70 percent of storms) of weather-related disaster displacements worldwide. These threats to agriculture and food security make adaptation a crucial priority. The Green Climate Fund (GCF) mitigates these potential dangers by providing funding to agricultural projects to promote climate-resilient agricultural practices. Direct Access Entities (DAEs) provide country ownership of these GCF projects and programmes. DAEs are also best positioned to blend international climate finance with domestic public budgets and private capital to create sustainable financing models, enhancing country ownership.
