    There is an extreme urgency to improve global policy and practice and limit the impacts of human-induced climate change. There are multiple ways in which climate change cansqueeze land-based resources, with cases found throughout the Asia and Pacific Region. Climate change will influence the availability of arable land and resulting food security, with irrigation systems affected by changes to glacial melts and other sources. The impact on food production systems may compound poverty levels for vulnerable smallholders and increase land inequality. The role of tenure security is vital here.

    Over the past century, there has been a profound shift from viewing our seas and inland waterways as open access resources to places in need of careful management to avoidfurther depletion of fish stocks. This acknowledges that most of the world’s fisheries are in a fragile state. Fisheries cover different contexts, including national marine resources, inland water sources, and international seas.

    Forests in Asia and the Pacific region are a key resource focal point, requiring managed utilisation for timber and non-timber products, and conservation for biodiversity preservation and carbon sequestration. They are also the site for communities who have lived there for generations and are often among the poorest and most marginalised in their respective countries. The livelihoods of these people are dependent upon an income derived from forest resources. Yet forest communities, many of which comprise Indigenous Peoples, live and operate under customary tenure systems that often go unrecognised by state actors.
