This presentation outlines the ARCC Climate Change Vulnerability Assessment & Adaptation Study.
The objectives of the study were to take an ecosystems approach in:
1) Identifying CC impact and vulnerabilities of rural poor and their environment - water resources, food security, livelihoods and biodiversity (fisheries and wildlife);
2) Identifying hot spots in the LMB: provide a scientific evidence base to guide the selection of pilot project sites;
3) Defining adaptation strategies to inform community and ecosystem-based adaptation pilot projects and
4) Communicating the results of the vulnerability assessment and adaptation planning.
This presentation was delivered by Eric Baran, Tuantong Jutagate and Kithya Ouch at the Lancang – Mekong Environmental Study Workshop that took place at the 2016 Greater Mekong Forum on Water, Food and Energy.
The presentation describes the status of fish biodiversity and fisheries between Chiang Saen and Luang Prabang.
Mekong ARCC – Final Workshop – Livestock Study: A presentation from the International Centre for Environmental Management (ICEM)
> Further information: www.icem.com.au
This presentation for the Mekong ARCC project was given by ICEM at the Final Workshop in Bangkok – held in March 2013. The presentation indicates how climate change will exacerbate challenges for livestock in the LMB, increasing nutritional problems, reducing value and increasing disease risk in many areas. In general, ‘local’ breeds have greater internal adaptive capacity to climate change. However, temperature increases will increase costs of production and alter disease risks for all livestock systems. Wild species in the LMB are also threatened by changes in bovine production practices. Increases in grazing of protected areas will multiply the risk of disease transmission and the threat of hunting.The presentation provides adaptation strategies for livestock including; improving animal nutrition among smallholder low input systems, increasing disease resilience and minimising disease challenges, and increasing smallholder access to and information on, input, service and product markets.

This presentation for the Mekong ARCC project was given by ICEM’s Peter-John Meynell, Sansanee Choowaew, Nguyen Huu Thien and Jeremy Carew-Reid at the Final Workshop in Bangkok – held in March 2013. The presentation considers Non-Timber Forest Products (NTFPs) and Crop Wild Relatives (CWRs) in the context of climate change in the Lower Mekong Basin. NTFPs and CWRs are an integral part of the farming systems of the Mekong. CWRs are especially important to breed new varieties through genetic diversity. CWRs are the largest source for crop improvement and the richest source of diversity for adaptive characteristics.The presentation considers the increased market pressures on NTFP resources, the loss of forest habitat due to commercial logging and conversion to agriculture and the importance of protected areas as a last refuge for NTFPs and CWRs.

Mekong ARCC Climate Change Impact and Adaptation Study for Natural and Agricultural Systems
This presentation from the International Centre for Environmental Management (ICEM) about the Mekong ARCC project was given by ICEM's director Jeremy Carew-Reid at the World Bank-sponsored Second Global Conference on Agriculture, Food Security and Climate Change, held in Hanoi, Vietnam from 3-7 September 2012.
The presentation focuses on the Mekong ARCC assessments and findings regarding climate change threats to agriculture and subsistence livelihoods. It addresses the significant transition from subsistence to commercial agriculture in the region. Commercial cropping has doubled in the last 20 years, particularly with the growth in production of rubber and cassava. The presentation provides recommendations from the Mekong ARCC assessments focusing on food production, advocating that food production will need to grow by 25% in the next 15 years just to supply local populations. The presentation highlights 'hot spots' in terms of rainfall and temperature changes, and illustrates potential implications for the location of industrial and commercial crops. The presentation focuses on the Se San catchment area, and notes some key changes which have implications for rice cultivation in the context of more extreme flooding and sea level rise.

This presentation for the Mekong ARCC project was given by ICEM at the Final Workshop in Bangkok - held in March 2013. The presentation gives climate change vulnerability and adaptation assessment for capture fisheries and aquaculture in the Lower Mekong Basin. It presents the climate change variables affecting fisheries and provides some adaptation options.
Fisheries and aquaculture are vitally important for food and livelihoods in the Mekong Region. Virtually all rural families are involved in fishing at some time of the year and small-scale capture fisheries remain important for livelihoods of rural families. Climate change is set to challenge these traditional ways of life in fundamental ways.

This presentation for the Mekong ARCC project was given by ICEM’s personnel and consultants Olivier Joffre, Dang Kieu Nhan, Bun Chantrea and Jorma Koponen at the Final Workshop in Bangkok – held in March 2013.
The presentation highlights the findings from the Climate Change Impact and Vulnerability Assessment on the agriculture sector in the Lower Mekong Basin. It presents changes in basin-wide crop suitability, changes in hot spot crop yields and provides a vulnerability assessment for key crops in hot spots. The land use suitability evaluation tool (LUSET) was used to evaluate the suitability of specific land units for a range of crops. For each location suitability is based on climatological characteristics such as rainfall, drought and temperature, and each crop has its special requirements which are affected positively or negatively by climate change.

So far, two UNDP-hosted workshops (June and October 2017) – attended by over 70 officials from departments under MoAC – have focused on prioritization for adaptation planning, using multi-criteria analysis (MCA); and developing a preliminary screening system for ranking and fine-tuning ongoing climate-sensitive projects and programmes.
The workshop in June focused on providing an overview of MCA as a tool to priority actions. Participants gained a better appreciation of the process and key steps involved, as well as its strengths and limitations in the context of climate adaptation planning. Feedback and key insights were also gained by MOAC on how MCA could be used in the context of implementing Thailand’s new sectoral climate change strategy (ACCSP).
In a follow-up workshop in October, participants learned the key steps to apply tools and methods in the context of their work.
After identifying key areas from the revised five-year Agricultural Climate Change Strategic Plan 2017-2021, MoAC’s is enhancing its capacity with the support of the NAP-Ag programme to to prioritize these activities, which will be funded under the Ministry’s annual budgetary cycle and put forward to international climate funds.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

48. By 2050 rice yields in Gia Lai may reduce by 13%
• Baseline production = 159,000 tonne
• Decrease in production by 2050 = 20,000 tonne

• Temperature increase during anthesis
phase in dry season induces sterility
• Lower number of grains

54. Capture Fisheries
• Changes in rainfall will increase river flows and strengthen the pulse effect which
will benefit many migratory white fish species.
• Others species adapted to particular habitats will be negatively impacted.
• E.g. minimum dry season water levels in the mainstream Mekong around
Vientiane, Luang Prabang and Chiang Sen are projected to increase by 30cm.
• This will result in important in-river habitats being submerged for longer periods
each dry season – eventually reducing the extent and productivity of this key
seasonal wetland habitat and its capacity to support specialist migratory fish.
55. Aquaculture
• Intensive aquaculture will come under pressure from climate change.
•E.g. Pangasius culture in Vietnam.
• Farmers have already pushed production levels of this fish, to the
limit that the environment and their systems allow.
• Higher temperatures will place additional stress on the these
systems, forcing farmers to reduce stocking densities and feeding rates
further, resulting in lower production.
57. Resin Tree :
Dipterocarpus alatus
• Habitats : along riverbanks, bottom of ridges, swampy areas in dry
dipterocarp, dry evergreen, lower moist evergreen, semi-evergreen,
evergreen forests
• Flowering : March-May, Fruiting : April-June
• Resin collection : only in summer (April-May)
• Elevation range : 100-800 m asl
• Temperature range : optimal 22-32˚C, absolute 10-36˚C, can grow in
areas with max temperature up to 45 ˚C
• Rainfall range : optimal rainfall 3,500-4,500 mm/yr, absolute 3,000-
5,200 mm/yr, found in areas 1,000-2,000 mm/yr
Baseline vulnerability = Moderate CC vulnerability = High Vulnerable
Prediction: Climate change will significantly increase the vulnerability
Climate key threats
increase in temperature enhances forest fire; forest fires kill seedlings and lower volume and
quality of resin/oil
extreme events (storms and high winds) kill seedlings and affect the trees which are
improperly tapped and hole maintained
extreme droughts enhance insect attacks (longhorn beetles) and also lower seed
germination rate
60. Ecological shifts in the Mondulkiri PA cluster:
• Accelerating loss of populations & species (extreme
temperatures, coupled with drying - a significant
driver of biodiversity loss)
• New „problem‟ species entering communities
• Reorganisation of plant and animal communities
• Geographic range shifts eastward and some upwards
(?) and range losses
A transformation of the ecosystems
ICEM 2012 60
Ecosystem shifts
62. • Increase in temperatures will reduce yield
• Increase in temperatures will generate altitude shift
• Increasing rainfall will be beneficial to crops in dryer
areas but detrimental to crops in already wet areas
• Increased crop damage will be generated by
increasing extreme events (flood, flashfloods, storms
or dry spells )
• Climate change will increase food security risk in the
basin for subsistence and commercial systems
62
Agriculture
Key basin wide conclusions on potential impacts
63. • Nutritional problems will increase for low-input „local‟
breed systems reducing value
• Increase in risk of infectious disease affecting overall
productivity
• Temperature increases will increase costs of production,
in small/medium „commercial‟ systems, particular for high
performance breeds
• Climate change coupled with increasing grazing of
domestic animals in protected areas will increase
incidence of disease outbreaks in wild species
63
Key basin wide conclusions on potential impacts
Livestock
64. Fisheries
64
• Under the projected climate change, the best we can hope for from Mekong
capture fisheries is that current production levels will be maintained.
• The intensive lowland aquaculture systems will not be able to cope with the
more extreme conditions, and will producing less.
• Although aquaculture will become more viable in new, higher elevation
areas this is unlikely to compensate for the lost production from the
lowlands.
• Total fish production in the Mekong basin is likely to decline over the next
30 years.
• With a regional population growth rate of around 1%, per capita fish
consumption rates will also certainly fall
• Efforts must be made immediately to implement adaptation measures to
offset the effects of climate change
65. Natural systems
• Climate change, in concert with other stresses will lead to losses
in productivity of NTFPs and loss of species from the basin and
specific areas.
• Similarly, losses in CWR species are likely from the basin
• Ecosystem shifts (transformations will occur throughout the
basin resulting in different species mixes and population
distributions.
• Some protected areas will degrade to the point of losing their
conservation value – others will change to the extent they no
longer represent critical habits
• If natural systems are not stressed or changed by human
activities, they can adapt naturally and shift in response to
climate change
65
Key basin wide conclusions on potential impacts
66. Health and infrastructure
• Exposure of rural communities to water and vector
born diseases will increase, affecting isolated poor
most with limited access to health facilities.
• More intense and regular extreme flooding and
flashfloods will impact negatively on poorly designed
and maintained rural infrastructure
• The poor are most vulnerable. Groups whom are
marginally above the poverty line are also at risk of
losing livelihood assets through extreme events and,
consequently, falling back into poverty

68. Adaptation principles
1. Integrate adaptation across sectors
2. Address the adaptation deficit
3. Maintain and enhance diversity
4. Build on past adaptation
5. Avoid maladaptation
6. Adaptation as a cyclical and interactive
process
ICEM 2012 68
69. Adaptation – an integrated
approach
The aim – to increase resilience in vulnerable communities and
areas through packages of linked measures:
1. Engineering options (eg dykes, drainage systems)
2. Sector specific adaptation practices (eg design standards
for roads, crop diversification, new hybrids)
3. Natural systems management (eg rehabilitation,
enhancement and species conservation programs)
4. Land use planning (eg zoning and development controls)
5. Economic instruments (eg subsidies and tax incentives)
6. Traditional local strategies (eg seed storage and ponds)
7. Social responses (including resettlement and migration)
8. Institutional options: all require associated institutional and
administrative innovations
69
70. Sectors and local communities are already “adapting”
A region of climate extremes and variability
Adaptive management shaping farming practices and
to suit local conditions
Learning from past experience in each locality and
attempting to adjust livelihoods to cope with extremes
A continuing process of rebuilding, upgrades and
adjustment
BUT – a great backlog of basic development,
maintenance and repair needs
70
Adaptation deficit
72. 72
Adaptation as a
cyclical and iterative
process:
Don‟t have to do
everything at once
Set sharp priorities
Take a phased approach
Adapt now with future
stages in mind
Repair and adjust with
changing conditions
