Participants at the workshop contributed ideas to a draft on sharing information, experiences and measures to strengthen Da Nang city’s climate change resilience.
The ideas will be the foundation for the city to complete its climate change resilience strategy and implement activities to deal with the problem in the coming time.
Climate change has become a global challenge and the more increasing and complicated natural disasters are requiring countries’ cooperation in seeking measures to mitigate the negative effects of climate change.
