Webinar: Engaging with academic and research institutions to close local adaptation knowledge gaps in the Asia-Pacific region

The Asia Pacific Network (APAN) will host a webinar on ‘Engaging with academic and research institutions to close local adaptation knowledge gaps’ in the Asia-Pacific region’ on Thursday 12th May at 3:00-4:30 PM (ICT).

The registration for the webinar will open soon. More information will be provided in the coming days.

During the session, several examples of partnerships and initiatives – involving academia, research institutions and communities in the Pacific islands, the Himalayas, Mekong wetlands and municipal areas of Thailand and Indonesia – will be highlighted. These partnerships and initiatives have at least one common denominator: local communities should be at the forefront of adaptation and resilience action. Challenges and success factors in building, planning, implementing and sustaining such partnerships will be investigated to foster uptake and scale-up of such initiatives in the region and beyond.
