o Philippines one of themost disaster-pronecountries in the world(Bildan, 2003; WorldBank, 2005)
o Annual disastersmainly caused byclimate-related eventssuch as typhoons(average of 20typhoons annually)

o Watershed areas andcommunities areamong those likely tobe adversely affectedby climate change
o 92M people (2010)o 20-24M people living
in uplandso Rely heavily on
rainfall for farmingo Mostly with limited
resources to adapt toclimate change

Philippine’s NationalFramework Strategy on
Climate Change
One of Objectives for theAdaptation Pillar:
“Enhance vulnerability andadaptation assessment to
serve as the country’sscientific basis for
formulating appropriateclimate change adaptation
strategies”

Adaptation Practices
• Any activity or strategy currently employedby the stakeholders to minimize adverseimpacts or take advantage of opportunities,if any, associated with climate variability andextremes
• Determined based on the actual experiencesand perceptions of the stakeholders

o Findings of the assessmentswere shared to keystakeholders through aforum.
o Outputs of the projectdirectly contributed in thepreparation of theComprehensive Land UsePlan of Albay
o Results and processesinvolved in the APN projectwere immediately seen tocontribute to the newlylaunched Climate ChangeAcademy in Albay.
Dissemination forum/dialogue with thestakeholders in Albay toaid them in localadaptation planning.

o Successful partnership with the leading and sole policy‐making body of thePhilippine government on climate change, i.e., the Climate Change Commission,was also achieved, which guaranteed consideration of the project’smethodologies and results to the climate change research and developmentagenda of the country.

o The APN project led by the CFNR – UPLB collaborated with theUniversity of Sunshine Coast in Australia in partnership withthe CLIMsystems Ltd.
o Staff from CLIMsystems Ltd. shared their expertise and trainedkey stakeholders in Albay on the use of customized SimCLIM,or AlbayCLIM.

Advantages of key stakeholderengagement at different levels
it generates public awareness and intereston climate change issues.
participatory multi-stakeholder climatechange assessment complements existingassessment methods like the use of multi-criteria vulnerability index and GIS mappingof vulnerable areas, thereby making theassessment more robust.
it promotes dialogue with local communitiesand the other stakeholders therebyincreasing the chance for enhancing localadaptations
![Page 18: Juan M. Pulhin and Rose Jane J. Peras](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070215/62bdfc96aa7e7404b84ace6b/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Advantages of key stakeholderengagement at different levels
it allows for the integration of localand experienced-based knowledgewith science that broadens theknowledge base for adaptation.
Finally, the engagement of differentstakeholders in the research processprovides the mechanism forstrengthening the linkage betweenresearch and policy for betteradaptation interventions.

Conclusion
The academic and researchinstitutions play a crucial role inpromoting a more strategicresearch approach that engagesthe relevant stakeholders atdifferent levels throughout theresearch process to achievegreater results
