1. Rodel D. Lasco University of the Philippines INTEGRATED ASSESSMENT OF CLIMATE CHANGE IMPACTS, ADAPTATION AND VULNERABILITY IN WATERSHED AREAS AND COMMUNITIES IN SE ASIA (AS21) Rodel D. Lasco University of the Philippines

2. Introduction • Philippines: > 70% of the total land area lies within watersheds • 421 principal river basins • Irrigate > 1.5 M ha of agricultural lands • Hydropower major energy source • 18-20M people living in uplands • Indonesia: most of watersheds in Java are already at critical stage

3. Landuse change in watersheds

4. Project objectives • Assess the impacts of climate change to water resources, forest ecosystems, and social systems • Conduct integrated vulnerability assessment of natural and social systems • Develop adaptation strategies • Promote stakeholder participation • Contribute to peer reviewed literature • Help build capacity of local scientists

5. Research Team • Philippines: University of the Philippines at Los Baños (UPLB) Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) Prof. Dr. Rodel D. Lasco Prof. Dr. Rex Victor O. Cruz Dr. Juan M. Pulhin DENR representative • Indonesia: Institute Pertanian Bogor Dr. Rizaldi Boer Dr. Ekawati S. Wahyuni Ir

6. Key Partners • Dr. Meine van Noordwijk International Center for Research in Agroforestry (ICRAF), Bogor, Indonesia • Dr. Josep Canadell GCTE, Australia • Scientists from Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia • National government agencies, NGOs and people’s organizations

7. Methods • study will focus on a watershed each in the Philippines (Pantabangan watershed) and Indonesia (Tulang Bawang Watershed). • Stakeholders will be involved at various steps of the research process

31. Human dimension • Impacts and adaptation of local communities • Primary and secondary data • Field reconnaissance and establishment of rapport • Participatory vulnerability and adaptation assessment • Present vulnerability and adaptation of local communities to climate variability and extremes

33. Human dimension (cont) • combination of participatory techniques such as stakeholder analysis, time line and community mapping • These techniques will be complemented by interviews of households • future impacts of climate change will be assessed based on the local people’s experiences and responses to past climate variability and extremes

34. Capacity Building • The training/workshop on climate change impacts, adaptation and vulnerability November 25 to December 8, 2002 • 6 participants from Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam • Small research grants provided
