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.
Outcome:
The knowledge base in the region covering new climate information, policy gaps, and lessons learned are crucial and should be widely disseminated particularly to practitioners and policymakers. In this regard, a Special Issue “Climate Change Impacts, Vulnerability, and Adaptation: Asian Perspective” that highlights findings of APN projects was recently published with Dr Sangam Shrestha (AIT), Dr Linda Anne Stevenson (APN), Dr Rajib Shaw (Keio University) and Dr Juan Pulhin (UPLB) as editors. It is hoped that this information will be usefull for the IPCC AR6 as well as adaptation stakeholders.
