International Conference on Climate Change, Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services for the Sustainable Development Goals: Policy and Practice 27-29 June 2016, The Sirindhorn International Environmental Park Cha-am, Phetchaburi, Thailand Message of SIEP Foundation Chairman It is with great pleasure that the Sirindhorn International Environmental Park (SIEP) Foundation under the Patronage of Her Royal Highness Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn produced this important publication out of the case studies and papers presented at the International Conference on “Climate Change, Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services for the Sustainable Development Goals: Policy and Practice” held in Cha-am, Phetchaburi, Thailand on 27-29 June 2016. SIEP is, by its mandate, positioned to promote education, public awareness, capacity building, and research innovations, and it builds international linkages and global partnerships in environment, energy and natural resource conservation. It engages strategic alliances through networking at the local, national and international levels. The production of this book contributes towards the aforementioned directions and aspirations. It was through the initiative of Her Royal Highness that the previously environmentally degraded area of what is now the park has been rehabilitated and practically restored into its original natural condition. The rehabilitation of mangrove and beach forests to be a learning center on nature and environment, and the promotion of biodiversity, are among the major thrusts of SIEP to educate and train students, youth and citizens both in the community and region including officials of government agencies and private organizations. These goals are aimed at realizing energy, natural resources and environment conservations in order to cope up with the national strategies on biodiversity and climate change. SIEP also serves as lead organization of the Regional Centre of Expertise on Education for Sustainable Development, known as RCE Cha-am, which is acknowledged by the United Nations University. The generosities of organizations that have provided funds to make the conference and this publication possible are gratefully acknowledged. We are thankful to the United Nations University Institute for the Advanced Study of Sustainability (UNU-IAS) and the National Research Council of Thailand (NRCT), for partnering with SIEP in producing this important publication. We are appreciative of the support provided by the RCE Cha-am stakeholders, USAID ADAPT Asia-Pacific, US Forest Service, and the Office of the Natural Resources and Environmental Policy and Planning, and other partners. It is hoped that this book publication would be useful to policymakers, academics, researchers and members of the wider scientific communities.
