<p>ABSTRACT<br />Climate change in the Dieng Plateau area is characterized into five local climatic phenomenon: (1) extreme rainfalls, (2) drought in agriculture, (3) hurricans, (4) extreme temperature, and (5) the unpredictable season. Farmers adaptation strategy towards those adverse impacts is identified by occupation of agriculture land. This land occupation also determines access to capital and intensity level of climate change vulnerability. If a farmer household occupies larger lands, so the access to capital is also more and the intensity level of climate change vulnerability becomes lower. On the contrary, smaller lands occupied leaves farmer households with low access to capital and high climate change vulnerability.<br />Keywords: climate change, adaptation strategy, vulnerability, farmer household</p><p>ABSTRAK<br />Perubahan iklim di Dataran Tinggi Dieng ditandai oleh lima fenomena iklim lokal yaitu: (1) curah hujan yang semakin ekstrem, (2) kekeringan yang melanda pertanian, (3) angin ribut, (4) suhu ekstrem, dan (5) musim yang sulit diprediksi. Strategi adaptasi untuk menghadapi kondisi iklim tersebut dilakukan oleh rumah tangga petani berdasarkan tingkat penguasaannya terhadap lahan pertanian. Luas lahan pertanian yang dikuasai oleh rumah tangga menentukan akses terhadap modal dan intensitas tingkat kerentanan terhadap perubahan iklim. Semakin luas lahan yang dikuasai oleh rumah tangga petani maka nilai akses terhadap modal relatif lebih tinggi dan tingkat kerentanannya terhadap perubahan iklim semakin rendah. Sebaliknya, Semakin luas lahan yang dikuasai oleh rumah tangga petani maka nilai akses terhadap modal akan semakin rendah dan tingkat kerentanannya terhadap perubahan iklim semakin tinggi.<br />Kata kunci: perubahan iklim, strategi adaptasi, kerentanan, rumah tangga petani</p>

The low-input viticultural training system ‘Semi-minimal pruned hedge’ (SMPH) is progressively being more widely applied in the Central European grapegrowing regions. The present study examined the influence of (i) the training system (SMPH versus the vertical shoot position (VSP) system), (ii) the timing of shoot topping in SMPH, and (iii) the effects of mechanical thinning in SMPH on the bunch rot epidemic, grape maturity, and yield. Six-year field trials on Pinot blanc in Luxembourg demonstrated that yield levels in non-thinned SMPH treatments were 74% higher, and total soluble solids (TSS) at harvest 2.2 brix lower than in VSP. Non-thinned SMPH delayed the bunch rot epidemic and the maturity progress by 18 and 11 days compared to VSP, respectively. Different shoot-topping timings in SMPH did not affect the tested parameters. Mechanical thinning regimes reduced the yield by 28% (moderate thinning) and 53% (severe thinning) compared to non-thinned SMPH and increased TSS by 0.8 and 1.3 brix, respectively. Delayed bunch rot epidemic and maturity progress give rise to the opportunity for a longer maturity period in cooler conditions, making this system of particular interest in future, warmer climatic conditions. Providing that yield levels are managed properly, SMPH might represent an interesting climate change adaptation strategy.

China is facing many challenges in the water sector while implementing integrated water resources management (IWRM). Another daunting task – adapting to water-related impacts of climate change, is also challenging China's water managers. These challenges have been posing threats to China's economic, social and environmental development. While separate efforts in promoting IWRM and climate change adaptation have been made, the approach of mainstreaming climate change adaptation strategy within IWRM is seldom studied. Attempting to fill the gap, this paper argues that there is great potential in synergizing them after analysing their distinctions and common points. By developing climate-proofing strategies within IWRM, mainstreaming is able to minimize adverse water-related climate change risks and maximize the benefits of policies and plans. In this study, entry points of mainstreaming climate change adaptation in the sustaining environment of IWRM and its process will be identified and analysed.
