organized a priority-setting workshop for the
Hindu KushHimalayan subregion
. The priority-setting workshop was held in parallel
with another workshop concerning the
Indian Ocean island countries
.
The purpose
of a priority-setting workshop was to better understand and categorize
adaptation knowledge gaps in the Hindu Kush Himalayan subregion (i.e., Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, China, India, Nepal, Myanmar and Pakistan), agree on a list of strategic
priority knowledge gaps, facilitate the design of (collaborative) response
actions, and discuss possible response actions and associated
institutions for addressing these gaps in the subregion. To learn more about

The priority-setting workshop for the Hindu
Kush Himalayan subregion was organized back to back with the
Asia Pacific Adaptation Network
forum and in collaboration with the International
Centre for Integrated Mountain Development (
ICIMOD
). The workshop gathered 10-15 experts ranging from multistakeholder group members to support group members.
The priority-setting exercise resulted in the identification of 16 priority knowledge gaps currently impeding effective adaptation practices in the Hindu Kush Himalayan region.
