Climate change adaptation readiness in the ASEAN countries

This document provides supplemental tables for a report on climate change adaptation readiness in ASEAN countries. It details the decision-making bodies, policy frameworks, research initiatives, and funding sources and flows for Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam, with a specific focus on the agriculture sector.

• ASEAN member states have established various national bodies to manage climate change and adaptation, ranging from dedicated commissions like the Philippines' Climate Change Commission to multi-ministry committees such as Cambodia's National Climate Change Committee (NCCC) and Vietnam's National Committee of Climate Change (NCCC).
• Climate change adaptation planning in agriculture is guided by specific national strategies, such as the Cambodia Climate Change Strategic Plan 2014-2023 (CCCSP), the Thailand Climate Change Master Plan 2013–2050, and the National Strategy on Climate Change 2012 in Vietnam.
• Research on agricultural adaptation is conducted through a mix of national initiatives and international programs, with the CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change Agriculture and Food Security and the Basin-Wide Climate Change Impact and Vulnerability Assessment of the Lower Mekong Basin for Adaptation Planning (MRC, 2011) appearing as common resources across multiple countries including Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, and Vietnam.
• Funding for adaptation varies significantly by country: Cambodia relies heavily on external sources, with 86% of climate-related expenditures coming from outside the country; Indonesia's climate finance is 73% loans primarily for mitigation; and Malaysia is noted as not being technically entitled to UNFCCC adaptation funds or development aid.
