Applying seasonal climate forecasting and innovative insurance solutions to climate risk management in the agriculture sector in SE Asia
Implementing Partners:
Project Details
Overall aim of the project
This project will develop climate risk management systems, best practices and insurance products that will shield smallholder farmers and businesses engaged in producing coffee, sugar, rice, cassava, rubber, dairy, and grazing across the agricultural value chain in key SE Asia countries from physical and financial disaster associated with climate change
The project is jointly implemented by
World Meteorological Organisation (WMO) Geneva, Switzerland; The University of Southern Queensland, (USQ) Toowoomba, Australia; International Centre for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT) Hanoi, Vietnam
Target groups
Smallholder farmers and businesses engaged in the coffee, sugar, rice, cassava, rubber, maize, associated crops and fruits, and grazing industries across the value chain from physical and financial disaster associated with climate change
Duration
April 2018 – March 2022
Focus area
Cambodia, Lao PDR, Myanmar (Burma), Vietnam
Funds available
The project is funded with around 7.9 million Euros by the International Climate Initiative (IKI) of the German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety (BMU)
