Future climate changes
Significant regional climate change expected
Mean temperature increase between 2.5 & 4.8 degrees celsius without mitigation
Indonesia, Thailand & Vietnam to experience drier weather over next 20-30 years
Global mean sea level to rise 70 cm
Changes in precipitation difficult to predict, but will likely be higher in most countries

Expected impacts
Pose considerable risk to food security
Water stress to worsen; particularly in Thailand & Vietnam
Rice, corn and soybean yields expected to decline without intervention
Coastal areas face greater risk of flooding and inundation
Economic cost of climate change expected to be greater in ASEAN than world average

Adaptation strategies
Strategies need to target most vulnerable
Protecting local food supplies, assets and livelihoods
Avoiding disruptions or declines in global and local food supplies
Protecting ecosystems through provision of environmental services
