Applying participatory climate risk and livelihoods mapping to define users’ demand for climate services

Understanding the demand for climate information services (CIS) at the livelihood level is essential in the production, translation, and dissemination of tailored agro-advisories for intended users. Key drivers for the demand for CIS are price, income, vulnerability to climate variability, beliefs and religion, complementary services, gender, type of crops, and farm size (Ouedraogo, 2022). The project, “Applying seasonal climate forecasting and innovative insurance solutions to climate risk management in the agriculture sector in Southeast Asia”, also known as “DeRISK SE Asia”, aims to strengthen the resilience of agricultural value chains in SE Asia, including Cambodia, against the physical and economic impacts associated with natural disasters exacerbated by climate change disasters.
