| description | The International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development (ICIMOD) is collaborating with meteorological and agricultural institutions in the Hindu Kush Himalaya through its SERVIR Hindu Kush Himalaya (SERVIR-HKH) and the Climate Services for Resilient Development (CSRD) initiatives to establish agricultural drought monitoring and early warning systems. The aim is to
improve the capacity of national agro-meteorology and agricultural agencies to develop data products related to crop monitoring and enhance the knowledge of national scientists about the interpretation of agro-climatic data in their country contexts. Similarly, the SERVIR-Mekong initiative, hosted by the Asian Disaster Preparedness Center (ADPC), is establishing a regional drought and
crop yield information system for the Mekong region in Southeast Asia. The system will assist local governments and the agricultural sector with drought forecasting and implementing short- and longterm mitigation measures during and before droughts. In the three days deliberations, the forum reviewed current status and needs for sustained information services at regional and national levels in the aforementioned areas. The participants at the forum also discussed ways to establish a regional partnership with participation of national and regional institutions, private sector, local and international organizations to improve climate services using Earth Observation and facilitate agricultural decision making to help with food security in the region. |
