社区所依赖的本地资源，以及用于什么目的

Upland and coastal resources

对资源的本地威胁

Coastal areas massive siltation and in upland areas massive loss of soil due to erosion and lack of trees and forest cover.

气候危害

Uncertain climating pattern and difficulty to plant in the uplands

敏感度等级

Very high.

适应能力水平

Very high. Communities have difficulty making a living as source of livelihood is reduced.

We use participatory rapid appraisal in order to come-up with solutions to climate vulnerability. We did this by forming a team comprising members of the community and our group. We gathered social, economic and biophysical data with focus on the hazards and ways to solve it. Partners involved in the rapid appraisal include local government units, local associations, ourselves, academe and government line agencies, eg. Department of Environment and Natural Resources.

生态成本

This is via the local community clusters that we organize. Through them, community education on climate vulnerability, search for alternative livelihoods and understanding of climate change issues and coping mechanisms is achieved.

生态效益

There is no ecological cost of our strategy.

用于衡量效益的经济指标

Improvement in soil fertility and ability of the soil to withstand massive erosion due to tree growing is one of the ecological benefit. Trees also attracts rain and this will help stabilize climate conditions.

经济成本

Improvement in incomes. Functional community clusters doing planning and implementing their plans.

经济效益

Cost is estimated at USD 5,000 per year.

用于衡量效益的生态指标

Increased income, availability of food especially nutrients from home-grown vegetables year round.

您的社区在实施此解决方案时面临哪些挑战？

Reports of community clusters and random survey of families participating in the program.

描述用于开发解决方案的基于社区的流程，包括使用的工具和流程

Not very able. Adaptive capacity is low.

关注的气候危害

Our solution focused on alternative livelihoods and climate resilient farm systems in order to cope with vulnerabilities. For this we are providing "climate adaptation sustainable packs" comprising climate-resilient farm inputs. These are for example plan

您的解决方案如何减少暴露和缓冲/保护受影响的生态系统？

Changing temperatures and weather patterns

How has your solution increased the capacity of the ecosystem to adapt to potential climate changes?

Improvement in small-scale farm systems would mean prevention of massive loss of top soil from the uplands due to soil erosion.

您的解决方案如何减少受影响社区的暴露并缓冲/保护受影响的社区？

Adding plants in the landscape would mean reducing soil erosion as roots of plants would prevent soil from eroding. The planting of root crops and tubers and using this as staple food would mean more secure in sources of food despite changes in climate conditions, eg. long dry spell or supertyphoons.

您的解决方案如何降低受影响社区的敏感性？

Agriculture sytems would be more adaptive compared to the present mono-crop system practiced by farmers. The growing of vegetables in the backyard means less pressure on the sea resources by coastal dwellers.

您的解决方案如何提高当地社区适应潜在气候变化的能力？

The root-crop based food security option and diversification of farming by the planting of shade tolerant high-valued fruit and commercial crops would mean reduced sensitivity to climate change. The provision of micro-credit on a revolving scheme would mean less dependence on usurers and freeing marginal coastal and upland dwellers to usurious situation.

这个解决方案可以在其他地方复制吗？

One challenge is land ownership and the practice of mortgaging their lands to usurers in times of family crisis. We are at present implementing a land redemption and land co-management program in order to counteract this situation.
