Mindful of the transnational nature of flood risks across the Lower Mekong Basin, the Mekong River Commission promotes co-ordinated management between Cambodia, Laos, Thailand and Viet Nam. The Commission is looking to harmonise climate change adaptation planning and implementation through the development of a climate strategy, which would be integrated to the Commission’s monitoring and evaluation framework (Mekong River Commission, 2016).
