Summary:

The images and data featured below show the precipitation means in Cambodia by month. The images were created by Dr. Michael J. Puma, Associate Research Scientist at Columbia University, Center for Climate Systems Research, the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies.

The data used to create the images were downloaded from WorldClim - Zone 29 and are based on the methodology described in: Hijmans, R.J., S.E. Cameron, J.L. Parra, P.G. Jones and A. Jarvis, 2005. Very high resolution interpolated climate surfaces for global land areas.

Summary:

The images and data featured below were downloaded from WorldClim - Zone 29 and are based on the methodology described in: Hijmans, R.J., S.E. Cameron, J.L. Parra, P.G. Jones and A. Jarvis, 2005. Very high resolution interpolated climate surfaces for global land areas. International Journal of Climatology 25: 1965-1978.

A detailed methodology is presented in the above paper. Hijmans et al. (2005) generated the data through interpolation of average monthly climate data from weather stations on a 30 arc-second resolution grid.

    Community-Based Adaptation

    United Nations Development Programme (UNDP)
    Implementing Agency and Partnering Organizations:
    UNDP, Farmer of Kazakhstan Foundation, ARAI Youth Center NGO; Akim and Lepsy Forestry Management Departments
    Summary:

    Background

    Project Components:

    The UNDP CBA project is directed on the prevention of adverse consequences of climate change at the sand pasture ecosystems through:

    • 1.) the restoration of the traditional pastoral management as the method to adapt to climate change; and
    • 2.)the capacity-building of the local community to adapt to climate change.
    Expected Outputs:

    Outputs include: 1.) the repair of seven (7) waterpoints in the medium distance pastures, using the traditional Kazakh technique "Asar'; 2.) implementation of remote-grazing practices to reduce near-village overgrazing and rotation of seasonal pasture observed; 3.) improved access of the community to watering sites and forage resources; 3.) strengthening capacity of the community on addressing projected climate change risks through training and education; 4.) reduction of climate change pressures on decreasingly resilient waterpoints; 5.) Improvement of pasture management practices by taking climate change factors into account; 6.) dissemination of lessons learned from project implementation to government policy and global learning.
