Asian Cities Climate Change Resilience Network (ACCCRN) help cities and their citizens to build flexible and dynamic systems and institutions that identify and respond to the challenges climate change poses to urban areas. Through collaboration with external experts, national partners, local governments, and other organizations, ACCCRN enables each partner city to confront the complexities of climate change and develop local capacity to address their specific challenges. ACCCRN has worked with countries such as Vietnam, India, Indonesia and Thailand, and this book gives the reader an overview of these projects along with the challenges the said countries have faced, and how ACCCRN has helped them combat such challenges.
