This document discusses building an evidence base for climate change adaptation in agriculture in the Philippines. It outlines several frameworks and projects for linking disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation in the agriculture and fisheries sector, including understanding risk, enabling supportive environments, and reducing disaster risks to increase resilience. Specific initiatives mentioned are enhancing monitoring systems, mainstreaming development goals, and establishing model areas to implement resilience-building practices.

1. Building an evidence base for climate change
adaptation in agriculture
Philippines

2. Outline
Getting evidence-based lessons from the field into sectoral/cross-
sectoral development planning (based on previous and on-going
DA and FAO work)
Linking DRR and CCA in the Agriculture and Fisheries Sector
Framework for Building Climate-Resilient Livelihoods and
Communities

3. Enhanced Climate Change Adaptation Capacity of
Communities in Contiguous Fragile Ecosystems in
the Cordilleras

4. Homestead Gardening (Integrated Food Systems)

5. Homestead Gardening (Integrated Food Systems)
Ability of the Good Practice CCA Option to Increase Resilience to Climate Change
a) Ability to address slow onsetting climate change impacts: Medium
b) Ability to reduce risk and impact of climate variability and extreme weather
events (and other hazards): High
c) Ability to enhance livelihood security: High

10. Getting evidence-based lessons from the field into sectoral/cross-sectoral
development planning
Collation of conventional, locally upgraded and
scientifically-introduced good practice options (GPOs)
Synthesizing into potentially suitable GPOs for
location and hazard specific conditions
Scientific validation of adaptation options
Local prioritization/selection of GPOs
Vulnerability
Assessment
Field-testing; Monitoring and evaluation;
with consideration
of both climate-
related risks and
hazards

How do you translate
uncertainty into
calculable risk?

11. Linking DRR and CCA in the Agriculture and Fisheries Sector
Priority Area 1: UNDERSTANDING RISK
Strategic Plan of Action for DRR
in Agriculture and Fisheries
Adaptation and Mitigation Initiative
in Agriculture (AMIA)
Enhance disaster risk reduction management
(DRRM) information systems, geospatial systems
and related databases
Enhance Monitoring and Early Warning Systems
(EWS) of multiple threats
Priority 2 ENABLE ENVIRONMENT:
Strengthen disaster risk reduction governance
Mainstream agriculture and fisheries sectoral
developmental goals with DRR, CCA and
sustainable land management (SLM)
considerations into the Provincial Physical
Framework Plan (PPFP) in the case of the
province and the Comprehensive Land Use
Plan (CLUP).
Promote DRR and CCA service delivery and
practice
Development of Standardized VA tools – GIS & PVA;
Verification and development of decision support tools
Integrated Climate risk/Multi-hazard/crop suitability
maps
Enhancement of Climate Information Systems for A&F
Landscape Planning Policy
CCA - Agriculture and Fisheries Financing Program

12. Linking DRR and CCA in the Agriculture and Fisheries Sector
Strategic Plan of Action for DRR
in Agriculture and Fisheries
Adaptation and Mitigation Initiative
in Agriculture (AMIA)
Reduce existing risks and prevent future risks
in production systems and food chains;
Make farmers and fisherfolks more resilient
through sustainable use of natural resources,
and the adoption of appropriate
technological and socio-economic practices
and approaches.
Priority Area 3 REDUCE DISASTER RISKS FOR RESILIENCE
Reduce underlying risk factors and build resilience
Formulating policies for building climate resilience
Establishment of model areas for implementing
measures/practices/technologies for building
community and livelihood resilience (climate)

13. AMIA Framework for Building Climate-Resilient Livelihoods and Communities
1. Establishing enabling environment
(mainstreamed policies/practices, strengthened capacities, identified emerging opportunities)
2. Vulnerability assessment and risk targeting
(key risks identified with exposure and adaptive capacity assessed)
3. Developing
knowledge
pool of CRA
options
(comprehensive
resource pool of
CRA innovations)
6. Integrating CRAs within
agri-food systems and value
chains (resilience-driven
livelihoods)
7. CRA actions and outcomes
at-scale (implementation within and
across regions/systems)
5. Enhancing
services and
institutions
(improved access
and local
relevance)
9. Program management and partnership platforms
(high-performing teams and alliances)
8. Knowledge
management
for results
(use-oriented
M&E and
evidence-based
decision-support)
4. CRA community action-
learning: initial phase
(field-validated models and
innovations)
weather/climate information
services to enhance understanding
of risk and uncertainty
Stronger M&E for DRR
and CCA
Learning from previous/on-going
work/low hanging fruits
disaster risks/CC risks
