Module 1 – Introduction to the ACLP

Welcome to the Module 1 of ACLP!

The first module will focus on setting the discussion arena: ACLP leadership model, notable climate-smart practices in land use sector (agriculture, forestry and rural development) in Southeast Asia and ASEAN regional policies and priorities relevant with Food, Agriculture and Forestry sectors, and so forth.

The module will introduce the participants to the concept of climate-smart land use and the key practices and the existing variety of regional policy guidelines in a view to assist and advance the implementation of Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) in the region.

ACLP 2021

The ACLP is designed as a contribution to the work of the ASEAN Climate Resilience Network (ASEAN-CRN). This year’s guiding theme is Promoting Climate-Smart Land Use for Implementing Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs).

The ACLP is being supported by the Climate Smart Land Use in ASEAN (CSLU) project, which receives funding from the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and is implemented by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH in close cooperation with the ASEAN Secretariat. It is being  organised in collaboration with the Southeast Asian Regional Centre for Graduate Study and Research in Agriculture (SEARCA) and will be facilitated by experienced coaches specialised in leadership and change theory.
