Delta 2011: Deltas under Climate Change: the Challenges of Adaptation (March 2-4, 2011) The mega-deltas of the South, Southeast and East Asia are also the rice granaries for the regions and contribute significantly to global food supply. Sea level rise, reduced sediment deposition and altered growing condition could have major negative implications on the productive output from these deltas, further affecting global food stocks and increasing the potential for shortages. Delta 2011 will focus on the implications of climate change on Asian deltas with specific reference to agriculture, aquaculture and fisheries production.
