Biodiversity and climate change: perspectives, research needs, and institutions. This book discusses the impacts of climate change on biodiversity, as well as how biodiversity could enhance mitigation and adaptation approaches. It explores the two-way link between climate change and the state of biodiversity in Southeast Asia, by considering its direct impact on food security, water supply and livelihood among others. It also investigates the need for all forms of life, including human society, to adapt and survive. By drawing on the experiences and lessons shared by representatives from research and development agencies, academic institutions, donors, and other organizations; and the cross-cutting issues contributed by experts, it aims to provide insight, lessons, and perspectives on how Southeast Asia is dealing with these twin concerns. The book is invaluable to all who are interested in assessing research gaps, identifying research areas, drafting effective policy agenda, and implementing critical activities at the community, national and international levels. It is the outcome of an international conference organized in 2008 by SEARCA and cooperating agencies to cap the five-year Biodiversity Research Program (BRP) in Mindanao involving 14 academic and research institutions.
