Climate change is a globally important environmental issue that impacting our economic future and livelihoods. It can affect food security in the developing countries of south East Asia which can be further exacerbated due to increased natural disasters. Various policies are adopted in different countries to mitigate climate change. Developing countries in Asia however do not have the capacity to unilaterally mitigate climate change although there are nationally important adaptation measures.
