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.

The project will use ICT-based solutions to raise or improve the capacity of both the  government and the public to address this problem.
