Abstract

The paper provides some results of a three-year Climate smart villages (CSV) project in four ecological zones of Myanmar, involving four project villages. The agro-ecological context is primary, as effects of climate change are location specific. Community-based and needs driven approaches which feature increased levels of community participation and engagement are needed for scalable models. Climate smart villages (CSVs) are on-site, on-location platforms where discovery, learning and sharing happens. Designed to be low cost, they typically feature local teams and institutions in order to enhance their role as “lighthouses” to support wider uptake.
