    Malaysia's agrifood systems face mounting challenges from climate change, requiring strategic transformation toward resilience while maintaining food security and economic stability. This report documents outcomes from the "Envisioning sustainable agricultural futures in Malaysia" national participatory workshop, which established a vision for the country to embrace sustainable, resilient, and climate-smart agriculture ensuring access to safe, nutritious, and affordable food for all. The workshop identified six key drivers of change affecting agricultural transformation: climate change, food prices, geopolitical instability, consumption patterns, population dynamics, and emerging uncertainties. Through collaborative stakeholder engagement involving multiple key institutions, four strategic project concepts were developed to address these challenges: an agroecological transformation initiative, utilization of genetic resources and emerging technologies to enhance rice farming resilience, biodiversity conservation for climate adaptation, and modernized climate information systems for agriculture. The document outlines how these initiatives align with Malaysia's climate commitments while providing practical implementation pathways. Part of the Agriculture Sector Readiness project for enhanced climate finance in Southeast Asia, this workshop demonstrates how targeted climate-smart agricultural investments can simultaneously address decarbonization goals, enhance food security, and build systemic resilience in national agrifood systems facing climate uncertainties.

    Cambodia's agricultural systems face escalating climate threats that endanger food security, rural livelihoods, and economic stability. This report presents strategic investment pathways developed during "Envisioning sustainable agricultural futures in Cambodia," a national workshop that applied innovative climate foresight methodology to transform climate challenges into actionable opportunities. The collaborative process produced four forward-looking initiatives addressing key vulnerabilities in Cambodia's agricultural landscape: smart rice technologies combining productivity improvements with emissions reduction, integrated climate-smart approaches for diversified farming systems, a comprehensive program developing location-specific agricultural technologies across six provinces, and coordinated interventions targeting greenhouse gas reduction in livestock and forestry sectors. Each proposal creates pathways for sustainable intensification, improved market access, and enhanced adaptive capacity while aligning with national climate commitments. The document illustrates how climate-smart agricultural investments can simultaneously address environmental sustainability, economic development, and social resilience objectives. Part of the Agriculture Sector Readiness project for enhanced climate finance in Southeast Asia, this workshop demonstrates effective approaches to designing transformative climate investments for Cambodia's agricultural sectors.

    Climate actions and resilience for the agriculture sectors in Thailand: National participatory foresight workshop
    Workshop report, Bangkok, Thailand, 14-16 August 2024

    Thailand's agricultural sectors face mounting pressure from climate change while striving to achieve carbon neutrality goals through sustainable transformation. This report documents outcomes from "Climate actions and resilience for the agriculture sectors in Thailand: National participatory foresight workshop," which brought together diverse stakeholders to develop strategic climate investment pathways. The collaborative process established a national vision for achieving carbon neutrality through sectoral collaboration, innovation, and technology integration for natural resource sustainability and human well-being. The workshop generated four initial project concepts addressing private sector climate finance, digital climate information services, agricultural carbon sequestration, and sustainable innovation hubs. These were subsequently consolidated into a comprehensive initiative titled "Climate-resilient agriculture innovation and financing hubs," targeting Thailand's six regions. This integrated approach combines innovative financial instruments with climate-smart agricultural technologies, creating regional centres for innovation, capacity building, and financial support. The project addresses critical barriers to sustainable agriculture adoption while promoting paradigm shifts toward low-emission, climate-resilient development. Part of the Agriculture Sector Readiness project for enhanced climate finance in Southeast Asia, this workshop report documents Thailand's commitment to transforming agricultural systems through coordinated climate action and technological innovation.
