The Regional Workshop on Climate Change Vulnerability and Adaptation in Asia and the Pacific was attended by more than 100 technical and policy experts from 20 countries and territories. The topical areas were agriculture, forests, coastal resources, and water resources, and selected papers on these topics appear in this book. In addition, the first paper presents the general workshop conclusions and recommendations. The 20 peer-reviewed papers, most of which are written by researchers in Asian and Pacific developing countries, contribute to the understanding of climate change vulnerability and adaptation in Asia and the Pacific.
