[Closed-door] ATTS Workshop: Climate Risks and Food Security

The ASEAN Think Tanks Summit (ATTS) workshop on “Climate Risks and Food Security” will address the following issues: 

• Strengthening the resilience of ASEAN’s agricultural systems, including enhancing climate adaptation for producers and smallholder farmers 

• Assessing the implications of global market volatility for ASEAN’s food stockpiles, import/export policies, and domestic food prices 

• Balancing land use for food, animal feed, and fuel in ASEAN, and how the region can ensure the integrity of biofuels and waste-to-energy supply chains 

The discussions from this workshop will be presented at the 3rd ATTS for further deliberations. The ATTS is an annual Track 1.5 dialogue held at the ASEAN Secretariat in Jakarta, organised by the Singapore Institute of International Affairs (SIIA), the ASEAN Institutes of Strategic and International Studies (ASEAN-ISIS) network, and other think tank partners. Insights from ATTS workshops held throughout the year will be incorporated into the 3rd ATTS policy memorandum to be circulated to the ASEAN Secretariat and the Permanent Representatives of ASEAN Member States (AMS).
