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 NRCT Chairman of the Executive Board Climate change is a global crisis without boundaries and Thailand is working to build capacity in natural resource research and management regarding changing climate as well as in assessment to support climate change preparedness. To make the best decisions in the face of climate change, the country also needs good examples of the best practices for integrating local and science-based knowledge into economic development and natural resources planning in advance of decision-making. The National Research Council of Thailand (NRCT) has identified an opportunity to undertake a case study on assessing climate change vulnerability and adaptation options in a ridge-to-reef setting that can serve to strengthen national and regional knowledge on appropriate study methodologies. On the occasion of Her Royal Highness Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn’s 5th Cycle Birthday Anniversary on April 2, 2015, NRCT has designed a project entitled “Watershed-based Adaptation to Climate Change: A Case Study on Sirindhorn International Environmental Park and its vicinity”. The project is being implemented by several agencies. There is an opportunity for Thai researchers to exchange science-based knowledge with US Forest Service’s experts and to help foster regional learning on the methodologies that might work best in determining climate change vulnerabilities and option to addressing them in Asia. Papers on this subject were 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. We are thankful for the support provided by the Sirindhorn International Environmental Park, USAID ADAPT Asia-Pacific, US Forest Service, and other partners. Finally, we hope that this book is valuable for developing national capacity to meet climate change challenges.
