Summary
There is a need for new knowledge and enhanced research capacity to understand, identify and enable urban resilience to climate change in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) region (Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam). This project will support locally led research into sustainable solutions for growing climate change impacts in urban areas in the region, where rapidly growing populations are also the norm. It focuses on the most vulnerable urban communities and areas, where adaptation to climate change is most important and under-resourced.
This initiative will support multi-country collaboration and knowledge sharing, through four to six research projects led by local institutions, to be selected through an open call for proposals. Each of these projects will generate evidence and scalable solutions through a process of co-creation with local stakeholders. Research teams will produce high-quality and action-oriented evidence, help scale up innovations and build researchers’ networks with the potential to contribute to future adaptation challenges and priorities.
This project is funded under the Climate Adaptation and Resilience (CLARE) program, a partnership between the United Kingdom’s Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office and IDRC. CLARE is bridging critical gaps between science and action by championing Southern leadership to enable socially inclusive and sustainable action to build resilience to climate change and natural hazards.
