Their livelihoods are sensitive and vulnerable to climatic changes. Typical responses to climate change in Thailand tend to focus more on disaster management as climate-related natural disasters capture more attention from the public compared to slow but progressive changes in climate. More perversely, climate adaptation (or even mitigation) is often used as justification ongoing development activities to procure funding. There is a shift in the types of actors involved in adaptation. In addition to conventional public agencies and non-government organizations, a new breed of organizations initiates innovative climate adaptation efforts: agro-based social enterprises. This paper looks at how Green Net, a Thai agro-based social enterprise, works to improve adaptive capacity among its organic and fair trade rice farmers in Yasothorn, a Northeastern region of Thailand. It highlights the adaptation successes, collaborative adaptation efforts and shares advantages of such enterprises and its lessons learned from its field activities during 2007–2011.","PeriodicalId":131045,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Environment and Disaster Management","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122095489","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Over this period of 20 years, an international system has evolved and has provided humanitarian assistance to 84 countries in response to a range of environmental emergencies. Notably, the system utilizes the assets of Member States, and operates without a multilateral convention or a written agreement as its foundation. The international response to Super Typhoon Haiyan (locally known as Yolanda) in the Philippines is used herewith to explain and describe the tools and services available for the provision of international environmental emergency assistance. In the Philippines, the national and regional authorities, were supported by the United Nations Disaster Assessment and Coordination team (better known by its acronym UNDAC), in undertaking a rapid environmental assessments using the Flash Environmental Assessment Tool. As a result, specialized expertise was deployed to work with the regional environment authorities in managing the oil spill off the coast of the Western Visayas region that, at one point,had displaced more people into evacuation centers than the typhoon itself. Finally, an Environmental Field Advisor was deployed to provide technical advice to government and humanitarian partners as to the integration of environmental considerations into the humanitarian programmes. The main challenges associated with the environmental response, set against the disaster time line, are reviewed here, and the initial lessons learned are identified so as to provide recommendations for the improvement of the multilateral system.","PeriodicalId":131045,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Environment and Disaster Management","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127458847","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
