The Asian Cities Climate Change Resilience Network (ACCCRN) comprises practitioners and institutions committed to creating knowledge, accessing resources, and influencing agendas to build inclusive urban climate change resilience.

Heat stress prevention at work place
COHED’s Heat Stress Prevention at the Workplace video was developed by the project team to provide an overview of heat stress, the signs and symptoms of heat illness and outline simple preventive measures for workers to undertake. It has been utilised in training workshops with construction and manufacturing workers and copies were disseminated at the Vietnam Pavilion as part of UNFCCC COP 21 in December 2015.
