32. Country Priorities Philippines: community-based natural resources management through the Landcare approach, improving farming and governance systems in the uplands, climate-change mitigation and adaptation strategies, and rewards for environmental services Vietnam: capacity building and partnerships emphasizing research on payments for environmental services, role of trees on farm and landscapes, and agroforestry as a distinct entry point for climate change adaptation and mitigation strategies China: research on science bases of biodiversity and carbon assets, trade-offs among different land-use options and national capacity development of the agriculture and forestry sectors. These activities address the country’s environmental problems such as land degradation in dryland ecosystems, effects of climate change and deforestation. Research activities in the Himalayas, Mekong region, and North Korea Thailand: emerging cross-country partnerships and networking relationships among key colleagues and institutions in the region by helping strengthen research, education and information exchange
