“…This spatial pattern may also reflect the current focus on regulatory services, such as coastal protection, which is often provided the most extensively from nearshore environments (Hale et al 2009;Sierra-Correa and Cantera Kintz 2015). Expanding the use of EbA into multiple ecosystems relative to their health status, accessibility and service function at a project location could also help spread the risk associated with increased habitat degradation that is apparent when using an ecosystem-reliant approach (Grantham et al 2011;Chow et al 2019;Seddon et al 2019).…”

“…increased sea surface temperature) (Graham et al 2007;Merone and Tait 2018;Thomas et al 2018). In recent decades in Asia and Oceania, extreme weather events and sea level rise have caused significant damages to coastal building infrastructure, livelihoods and survival (Colls et al 2009;Rahman 2014;Thomas et al 2018;Chow et al 2019;ESCAP 2019). In response, EbA approaches such as mangrove restoration or protection have been implemented to increase the resilience of communities to these hazards (Macintosh et al 2012;Rahman 2014;Sierra-Correa and Cantera Kintz 2015), whereas EbA responses to other climate-related hazards that have been extensively documented in countries throughout Asia and Oceania, such as coral bleaching from increased sea surface temperature (Green et al 2009;Grantham et al 2011;Hoegh-Guldberg et al 2019), have been fewer.…”

There is growing interest in using ecosystem-based adaptation (EbA) to maintain or restore ecosystem services to increase human resilience to climate change. However, to date, the focus on EbA has been on conceptualising the approach and encouraging its use, rather than understanding EbA in practice. We review the EbA literature to synthesise where, why and how marine and coastal EbA projects have been implemented and examine how EbA has been integrated with marine spatial planning. We focus specifically on EbA projects in Asia and Oceania, where climate variability and dependence on marine and coastal ecosystems is high. Most projects were found in the grey literature, implemented in developing countries, and targeted extreme events and sea level rise. Mangroves, particularly mangrove restoration, was the most common ecosystem used, followed by coral reefs. EbA across ecosystems commonly targeted capacity building and livelihood enhancement, and maintenance of wildlife, alongside shoreline protection for mangroves and food security for coral reefs. Integrated EbA and marine spatial planning projects were participatory, implemented at local–regional scales, displayed adaptive management, and community-based or shared governance. Our research helps to build an understanding of EbA in practice and a knowledge base to assist coastal communities in adapting to climate change.

“…In India, forests are providing various services in terms of meeting the food demand of 300 million people, the energy demand of people living in rural areas up to 40%, and shelter to one-third of animals (Jhariya et al, 2019 ). In Bangladesh, forests are also vulnerable to climate variability as they are facing the increased risks of fires, rise in sea level, storm surges, coastal erosion, and landslides (Chow et al, 2019 ). Increased extreme drought events with higher frequency, intensity, and duration, and human activities, i.e., afforestation and deforestation, have adversely altered the forest structure (Xu et al, 2018 ).…”

Impact of climate change on agricultural production; Issues, challenges, and opportunities in Asia

et al. 2022

Agricultural production is under threat due to climate change in food insecure regions, especially in Asian countries. Various climate-driven extremes, i.e., drought, heat waves, erratic and intense rainfall patterns, storms, floods, and emerging insect pests have adversely affected the livelihood of the farmers. Future climatic predictions showed a significant increase in temperature, and erratic rainfall with higher intensity while variability exists in climatic patterns for climate extremes prediction. For mid-century (2040–2069), it is projected that there will be a rise of 2.8°C in maximum temperature and a 2.2°C in minimum temperature in Pakistan. To respond to the adverse effects of climate change scenarios, there is a need to optimize the climate-smart and resilient agricultural practices and technology for sustainable productivity. Therefore, a case study was carried out to quantify climate change effects on rice and wheat crops and to develop adaptation strategies for the rice-wheat cropping system during the mid-century (2040–2069) as these two crops have significant contributions to food production. For the quantification of adverse impacts of climate change in farmer fields, a multidisciplinary approach consisted of five climate models (GCMs), two crop models (DSSAT and APSIM) and an economic model [Trade-off Analysis, Minimum Data Model Approach (TOAMD)] was used in this case study. DSSAT predicted that there would be a yield reduction of 15.2% in rice and 14.1% in wheat and APSIM showed that there would be a yield reduction of 17.2% in rice and 12% in wheat. Adaptation technology, by modification in crop management like sowing time and density, nitrogen, and irrigation application have the potential to enhance the overall productivity and profitability of the rice-wheat cropping system under climate change scenarios. Moreover, this paper reviews current literature regarding adverse climate change impacts on agricultural productivity, associated main issues, challenges, and opportunities for sustainable productivity of agriculture to ensure food security in Asia. Flowing opportunities such as altering sowing time and planting density of crops, crop rotation with legumes, agroforestry, mixed livestock systems, climate resilient plants, livestock and fish breeds, farming of monogastric livestock, early warning systems and decision support systems, carbon sequestration, climate, water, energy, and soil smart technologies, and promotion of biodiversity have the potential to reduce the negative effects of climate change.

Climate change poses a significant threat to the security and sustainability of global food systems, particularly in vulnerable regions such as Bangladesh. This paper comprehensively reviews the impact of climate change on food system security and sustainability in Bangladesh. Specifically, it examines the country's food system, the climatic conditions endangering food security, and the impacts of climate change on food systems and associated vulnerabilities. A systematic review methodology was adopted to select the relevant literature, based on predefined inclusion criteria and research questions. To mitigate selection bias, the research team independently screened and evaluated the articles for inclusion in the review process. Our review reveals increasing trends in temperature fluctuations and irregular rainfall occurrences, posing significant challenges in terms of crop management and planning. The occurrence of floods due to extreme rainfall and sea-level rise exacerbates food insecurity in affected areas. Additionally, moderate to severe droughts have been identified in some regions. The paper also evaluates the effectiveness of current adaptation initiatives and the degree of integration among relevant stakeholders. Through this analysis, the paper emphasizes the importance of local climate change adaptation strategies and stakeholder collaboration in mitigating the adverse impacts of climate change on the food system security.
