Asian Cities Climate Change Resilience Network (ACCCRN)
ISET is the lead facilitation partner working with country-level partners and partner organizations to support 10 Asian cities across India, Indonesia, Thailand and Vietnam in developing climate resilience strategies under the Rockefeller Foundation funded program. The objectives of the ACCCRN program include:

• Test and demonstrate a range of actions to build climate change resilience in cities
• Build a replicable base of lessons learned, successes and failures
• Assist cities in developing and implementing a climate change resilience building process
• Build the capacity of cities to continue climate change resilience building activities

Mekong - Building Climate Resilient Asian Cities (M-BRACE)
ISET has been working closely with the Thailand Environment Institute (TEI) and the National Institute for Science and Technology (NISTPASS) in Vietnam to assist city partners in each country in developing climate resilient policies, plans and actions. The M-BRACE project is being resourced through a cooperative agreement with USAID. The four cities in this project are associated with the Rockefeller Foundation funded Asian Cities Climate Change Resilience Network (ACCCRN) and significant coordination of research efforts and findings between these two projects will take place.  M-BRACE will replicate and extend the lessons from ACCCRN, using refined and updated processes and tools. Replication efforts in each city will be built on iterative, local multi-stakeholder Shared Learning Dialogues, supplemented by technical studies of climate impacts and vulnerability undertaken by local experts under ISET supervision. The anticipated results of M-BRACE include locally prepared resilience plans and policies for each city; demonstrated guidelines and tools for good practice in urban climate resilience planning; and greater knowledge and capacity of public and private stakeholders at the city level and among national experts providing technical support. Additional information will be added as the project develops.
