Takeaways Author: Ratri Sutarto

ACCCRN has been established to strengthen the capacity of cities’ practitioners to support governments and communities to build urban climate change resilience. We plan to do this by connecting practitioners in Asia to exchange learning and collaborate to better serve their communities and cities to adapt and improve in the face of climate change. In order to do this, ACCCRN provides programs to enable its member to connect, learn, and collaborate, one of which is social gatherings, the first of which we held at Melaka, Malaysia, on 3 March 2016.
