Overview

The Mekong-ROK Cooperation Fund aims to promote regional sustainability by addressing climate change and environmental concerns. It focuses on cross-sector cooperation to combat air, water, and land pollution, reduce the effects of floods, droughts, and saltwater intrusion, and promote environmentally friendly technologies.

The framework aims to strengthen the Mekong region's resilience by promoting low-GHG transportation and the development of e-mobility ecosystems. Furthermore, it promotes the use of electric vehicles (EVs) and develops low-carbon emission rules in the transportation sector. The plan of action strongly supports biodiversity protection, green industries, and green cities while encouraging collaboration in areas such as energy efficiency, circular economy, and sustainable consumption.
