Sector Briefing on Climate Change Impacts and Adaptation: Agriculture
Asian Development Bank | January 2012
Abstract
Climate change is projected to have a wide range of impacts on various aspects of the agriculture sector. Overall, it is suggested that climate change will significantly undermine crop production in the region, posing a serious threat to food security, even after adaptation and productivity improvements have been accounted for. Effective adaptation in this sector will be of crucial importance.

The lake swells and fish, reptiles, birds, mammals, and plants thrive on this reverse hydrology. The Tonle Sap Basin Strategy promotes an approach that conserves nature and offers ...The Tonle Sap is a natural phenomenon.
