Description: Asia is a hotspot of climate change impacts and disasters and one of the most highly vulnerable regions in the world. Achieving sustainable development entails climate change adaptation and mitigation and the Asia-Pacific Network for Global Change Research, APN, is committed to helping the region address the challenges brought about by climate change. This is done by supporting research and capacity development activities that facilitate science-based decision- and policy-making.
