The Southeast Asian Regional Center for Graduate Study and Research in Agriculture (SEARCA), in partnership with the OML Center will hold a “Regional Knowledge Sharing Writeshop on Climate Change Adaptation in Inclusive and Sustainable Agricultural and Rural Development (ISARD)” on the 15th to 17th of April 2015 at SEARCA, College, Los Baños Laguna, Philippines.

The Writeshop will be an avenue for exchanging ideas and experiences among climate change adaptation practitioners, researchers, experts, and scientists and other relevant stakeholders focusing on inclusive and sustainable agricultural and rural development. The intent is to subsequently share more widely the Writeshop outputs to inform development policies, programs and investments, at the same time contributing to further generation of sound scientific knowledge on climate change adaptation in the context of ISARD.

SEARCA and OML Center is opening Day 1 April 15 (Session 1, 2, and 3) and morning of Day 2 April 16 (Session 4 and Open Forum) of the Writeshop to interested participants.
