Decision Support Systems
To support planning and early warning across the full range of ICEM competencies including climate change, energy, water, biodiversity, integrated assessments and disaster risk reduction, ICEM specialists have engaged in developing innovative Decision Support Systems (DSS). DSS’s are web-based tools that visualize data, and can be easily manipulated by user groups. These data, mainly sourced from geospatial data, address particular concerns of sustainable development, for instance in supporting long-term planning and investment decisions in the context of climate change, or to providing flood forecast warnings to government and local communities.

Mainstreaming Climate Resilience into Development Planning
About: Action to tackle climate change in Cambodia is crucial. Cambodia will be a hotspot for climate change in the region. Average maximum daily temperatures in the wet season are projected to increase from between 1.7 to 5.3°C. Average dry season temperatures will also increase with a range of between 1.5 to 3.5°C. Trends in precipitation are also expected to change over the coming decades. Seasonal variability in rainfall patterns will grow, resulting in wetter wet seasons and drier dry seasons.
DELTA (Developing Long Term Adaptation) Tools for the Mekong Delta
About: The Mekong Basin with its complex monsoon climate is highly exposed to climate change. Average annual temperatures are expected to increase by 3-5°C by mid-century with average wet season precipitation increasing by 3-14% (USAID, 2013). For the floodplain areas of Cambodia and Viet Nam, increases in wet precipitation will be coupled with increased peak daily precipitation events and drier dry seasons, compounding water availability issues by making wet seasons wetter and dry seasons drier (USAID, 2013).
