3rd Training on Assessing Community Vulnerability and Adaptation to Climate Change
Bangkok, Thailand 15 to 16 February 2017
The third and final workshop in CEP’s training module on integrating climate change adaptation into local planning focused on identifying and implementing adaptation options.
During the past 18 months, 15 government planners from Cambodia, Lao PDR, and Viet Nam have learned key concepts of adaptation planning, including conducting situational analyses, risk profiling, and future visioning.
In between the three workshops (the first two were in August and October 2016) they applied their learning at study sites in their respective countries.
At this workshop, they built on their analyses to identify adaptation measures or options that will enable their target communities to better manage future risks, especially those influenced by a changing climate.
They will also learn about mainstreaming adaptation into community plans and develop an implementation plan for their recommended interventions.

GMS Working Group on Environment 24th Annual Meeting
The 24th Annual Meeting of the Greater Mekong Subregion (GMS) Working Group (WG) on Environment reviewed the achievements of the GMS Core Environment Program Phase II and discussed the way forward. WGE AM-24 was hosted by the People’s Republic of China’s Ministry of Ecology and Environment (MEE) with support from ADB through the GMS Environment Operations Center.
The WGE AM-24 was followed by thematic discussions that covered the proposed new programs entitled: "GMS Climate Change and Environmental Sustainability Program (CCESP)" and "GMS Sustainable Agriculture and Food Security Program (SAFSP)" which are aligned with three out of seven operational priorities of Strategy 2030 approved by the Asian Development Bank’s (ADB) Board in 2018.
The CCESP will focus on ADB Strategy 2030’s operational priority: tackling climate change, building climate and disaster resilience, and enhancing environmental sustainability, while SAFSP will focus on ADB Strategy 2030’s operational priority: promoting rural development and food security. Both programs will support ADB Strategy 2030’s operational priority: fostering regional cooperation and integration.
