Ideas that inspired us
- On farm adaption must be complemented by landscape level adaptation. Farmers lives are too intertwined with forests and rivers in the community.
- Grassroots oriented field facilitators can be tooled up to help communities build their adaptive capacity.
Remarkable Communities
Upland communities in Shan and Kachin, disaster prone, but responsive communities in Sagaing and Bago and other adjacent regions.
Catalytic projects that helped model the way
- METTA NOVIB upland agriculture and community forestry climate change adaptation project.
- Proposed UNDP Environmental DRR Track Project
Key Features
Mentors and Co-travelers
Personal Insights
- Upland agriculture and community forestry programs need to be addressed simultaneously.
- Time not only money, is much needed to make CCA at village level effective. This means that projects should have at least 5 years presence, not 2 years. Only small amounts of funding are needed, not large sums, for interventions to be sustainable.
