    Summary:

    To prepare for climate change-related disasters, many institutions are now addressing changing climate within their mandates at the global and local levels. While these efforts are useful, relevant knowledge solutions generated by these efforts are scattered and generally inaccessible. In addition, this fragmented body of knowledge needs to be organized, packaged, and shared in formats understandable to and replicable by various users. It is in this context that the Southeast Asian Regional Center for Graduate Study and Research in Agriculture (SEARCA) is building up a Knowledge Center on Climate Change Adaptation in Agriculture and Natural Resources Management in Southeast Asia (KC3).

    KC3 provides quick and easy access to knowledge resources on climate change adaptation in agriculture and natural resources in Southeast Asia through an online portal of information and media materials, dynamic exchange of science-based knowledge solutions and good practices, opportunities for graduate scholarship, research and development, short-term training, and policy advocacy, and a contacts database of climate change community members.

    KC3 aims to contribute to strengthening the capacity of Southeast Asians in climate change adaptation, specifically within the domains of agriculture and natural resource management.

    The knowledge solutions harvested by KC3 will be a good basis for policymakers, researchers, development workers, media, and farming/fishing communities in engaging in policy formulation or in discussing and determining policy-related interventions needed on climate change adaptation.

    1. Research and Development on Adaptation in the Agriculture and NR sectors at the community level
    2. Graduate Scholarship for MS and PhD levels
    3. Short-Term Trainings
    4. Knowledge Management

    Expected Outputs:

    1. researchers' data base
    2. R&D adaptation works data base
    3. Graduate Scholarship Grants
    4. Multi-stakeholder Consultation Proceedings for Southeast Asia
    5. Publications, video, and other multimedia learning tools/visual aids to support capacity development
    6. Pilot actions databases
    7. Best Practices and Success Stories on Climate change adaptation
    8. Climate Change action plans for individual southeast asian countries
    9. Policy briefs, journals, training modules,
    10. yellow page directory and manuals on adaptation technologies and practices; others
