Operationalising the ASEAN Centre for Climate Change

ASEAN Centre for Climate Change (ACCC): 2024 - Ongoing

Adapt40 is supporting the development of the organisational foundation and operationalisation for the ASEAN Centre for Climate Change (ACCC). The purpose of the ACCC is to facilitate regional cooperation and coordination on climate change initiatives among Member States with relevant national governments, regional, and international organisations and to provide policy recommendations to ASEAN Member States. We are working in partnership with Humanitarian and Development Consulting (HDC), who are leading on GEDSI and Legal aspects of the project.

Specifically, Adapt40 and HDC are conducting a needs assessment to identify pressing climate-related issues and challenges, including GEDSI, gaps in current regional climate policies and priorities, assess expertise and capacity. This alongside a stakeholder engagement process conducted through two workshops in 2025 will inform the operational framework of the ACCC.
