This practical workshop was attended by 21 participants from 8 countries, namely, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Indonesia, Philippines, Vietnam and Thailand. The workshop was aimed at building the capacity of national training institutions, trainers and city government officials responsible for capacity development from the Asia and the Pacific region to deliver training on mainstreaming climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction (DRR) in city development plans and strategies. Besides the practical nature of many sessions, such as the analysis and use of the "Disaster Resilience Scorecard for cities", participants also had the chance to go on a field visit to the Khok Kham Mangrove project and start developing their action plans.
