(A quick note) Action Plan of ASEAN-CRN (2016-2017)

Vision 2025 of ASEAN-CRN

“ ASEAN-CRN is a capable and valued multi-stakeholder collaboration network for a sustainable, competitive, climate resilient agriculture in the ASEAN community.” The 4 objectives of the ASEAN-CRN remain as the Goals for this Action Plan:

1. To promote a common understanding on climate change and the agriculture sector amongst ASEAN Member States (AMS) and facilitate mutual learning;

2. To promote resiliency of agriculture within the region, through the scaling-up and scaling out of identified good practices and policies at AMS level, which address climate related threats and opportunities (climate smart agriculture practices38) to agriculture;

3. To identify common concerns and capacity needs, and propose regional support strategies and instruments to address these in a coherent manner; and

4. To support ASEAN decision-making and implementation processes by providing inputs based on policy-oriented research results in the field of climate change and agriculture. To obtain these objectives, 5 Work Areas was partially adopted from the 5 key priorities identified by previous workshop of CRN in October 2015 (in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam) including:

1. Knowledge management (KM);

2. Project supports for CSA upscaling;

3. Funding;

4. Capacity building;

5. Joint policy statement and protocol; A Reporting on National Progress was conducted by each of the member states to give an update on the status and achievements of the national efforts, which are presented as follows:
