PRoACC workshop on 1-3 February 2012 in Vientiane, Lao PDR
The aim of the upcoming PRoACC workshop on 1-3 February 2012 in Vientiane, Lao PDR is to discuss the programme's scientific results and societal outreach including policy briefs and educational material. Second, the workshop is open for the discussion, based on experiences, recommendations on how to strengthen the role of research and the Mekong knowledge institutes in climate change adaptation in the Mekong, and how to best translate research into policy recommendations and link to ongoing climate change adaptation initiatives. These discussions will help in identifying needs and opportunities for continued cooperation in a regional partnership.
