Information and Communication Technology (ICT) for Adaptation to Climate Change and Forest Fire Management in Mekong Region
The project was conceptualized in response to the growing threats of forest fires in the Great Mekong sub-region. Climate change-induced temperature increases combined with human unsustainable land use practices infer a higher susceptibility or vulnerability to forest fire occurrences which can undermine the capacity of each member country to deploy effective response.
Sustainable Smart Tourism Development in the Mekong Region
The Mekong region is among the world’s most visited travel destinations. As the tourism industries of Cambodia, Lao PDR, Myanmar, Thailand and Viet Nam (CLMTV) are helping promote economic growth, generate employment, and foster peaceful societies, their governments are increasing efforts to pursue a more balanced, collaborative, and sustainable tourism development.
