The TA has four outputs: (i) capacity to assess climate change vulnerability of highland agriculture improved; (ii) gender-responsive, climate-smart agricultural practices prioritized and demonstrated; (iii) agricultural product quality, value addition and market linkages enhanced; and (iv) capacity of local governments and communities to address climate change strengthened.

(iii) Capacity Building Programme for MRV and Transparency. Location: Thailand. Client/Sponsor: UNFCCC Duration: 2021–2025 Budget: USD 500,000 Position: Focal Point/Climate Adaptation Expert Brief Description: This objective of this programme is to build institutional and technical capacity of developing countries to effectively participate in the existing MRV arrangements under the UNFCCC and the Enhanced Transparency Framework (ETF) under the Paris Agreement. The Programme will be carried out in collaboration with Alliance for Global Water Adaptation (AGWA), IHE Delft Institute for Water Education and Oregon State University.

(iv) Climate Technology Centre and Network (CTCN): Location: Thailand Client/Sponsor: UN Environment Duration: 2013–2021

5

Budget: USD 466,000 Position: Coordinator Brief Description: CTCN is the operational arm of the UNFCCC Technology Mechanism, led by UN Environment and UNIDO. The CTCN mission is to help developing countries adopt technologies to mitigate, and adapt to, climate change. The scope of services is aimed to support action on mitigation and adaptation to enhance low-emission and climate-resilient development. Specific examples of technical services that I have been involved in include: 1. Developing a Knowledge Management System comprising technical reports, advisories, technology

factsheets, policy briefs, and compendiums on topics related to agriculture, forestry, and water management.

2. Provide capacity building support to Timor Leste for implementation of Nationally Determined Contributions.

3. Provide support to Afghanistan (Ministry of Energy and Water) in identification of technological needs in the water sector.

4. Provide capacity building support to Thailand (National Science and Technology Development Authority) for efficient use of resources in the agricultural and water sectors.

5. Provide support to Myanmar (Myanmar Institute for Integrated Development) for promoting data for climate change, drought, and flood management.

Location: India Client/Sponsor: USAID Duration: 2020–2022 Budget: USD 26,000 Position: Project Director/Adaptation Expert Brief Description: This aim of the project is to use bottom-up approaches to recommend adaptation strategies that will help manage the risks due to climate change in the agricultural sector of Bhavani River basin in Tamil Nadu. The project employs the CRIDA (Climate Risk Informed Decision Analysis) approach, to identify the “breaking point” of agricultural system (when the system fails), the magnitude of climate change that will cause the system to cross the threshold; and the plausibility of reaching that state in future. Several adaptation options will be proposed to address the range of plausible future climate scenarios. The project will also develop a set of adaptation pathways that will inform the policy makers on when to act.

(vi) ENRICH: Enhancing Resilience to future Hydro-meteorological extremes in the Mun river basin in Northeast of Thailand Location: Thailand Client/Sponsor: National Research Council of Thailand Duration: 2018–2021 Budget: USD 156,250 Position: Country Team Leader and Climate Change Lead Brief Description: The overarching aim of this project is to understand the impact of the combined stressors of climate variability, climate change and land-use change on hydro-meteorological extremes in the Mun River Basin and to recommend adaptation measures to enable sustainable management of water resources and improve water security in the coming decades. The project is implemented by the Asian Institute of Technology (AIT) in Thailand and the University of Exeter in UK with support from relevant government agencies. The project has four work packages that include Land use change analysis; Climate variability and climate change; Hydro-meteorological hazards and risks; and Adaptation strategies and measures to improve climate resilience.

(vii) Building Capacities for Water Security Assessment in Asian Cities.

6

Location: Thailand, India, Nepal, and Vietnam. Client/Sponsor: APN, Japan Duration: 2020–2022 Budget: USD 40,000 Position: Team Leader Brief Description: The overall objective of this project is to build the capacities of early-career scientists, researchers, practitioners, and government agencies in Nepal, India, and Vietnam in assessing water security at city-scale. The project will develop a computer-based tool to help assess the water security, and train different stakeholders in the three countries in using this tool. It is expected that this project will serve as an avenue to help the uptake of an important decision support tool to enable the city stakeholders in operationalizing water security.

(viii) Evaluation of climate change impacts and suitable adaptation strategies for crop production and its environment and economic implications in vulnerable regions of Thailand and India Location: India, Thailand Client: French Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Development Duration: 2016–2017 Budget: USD 40,000 Position: Team Leader Brief Description: The study projected climate change scenarios and assessed their effects on agriculture and subsequently its impacts on environment and socio-economy of the region. Mitigation and adaptation measures were suggested for coping with the future climate conditions. Alternatives like conservation agriculture, beneficial crop mix or trade-offs for planting single crops were investigated with resultant environmental impacts to provide feasible solutions with regards to climate change.
