12 12 Cooperation in Lower Mekong River Basin The Mekong River Commission (MRC) was formed on 5 April 1995 by an agreement between the governments of Cambodia, Lao PDR, Thailand and Viet Nam. Cooperate in all fields of sustainable development, utilization, management and conservation of the water and related resources of the Mekong River Basin in a manner to optimize the multiple-use and mutual benefits of all riparians and to minimize the harmful effects that might result from natural occurrences and man-made activities.

13 13 MRC Strategic Directions for Integrated Water Resources Management in the Lower Mekong Basin

14 14 Key Concerns on Impact of Climate Change

15 15 1. Water availability

16 16 2. Water related disasters

17 17 3. Water supply and food production

18 18 4. Change in ecosystems

19 19 5. Livelihood

20 20 Preliminary Results on Climate Change Studies in Mekong River Basin

27 27 Key Challenges from Climate Change on Transboundary Water Management

28 28 1. Develop regional-scale tools to monitor and analyze climate change as well as basin-wide effects 2. Scope of basin-wide vulnerability assessment 3. Develop regional climate change adaptation strategy under constrain of uncertainty 4. Address transboudary impacts of climate change and regional climate change adaptation strategy into national strategies and measures 5. Sharing information and knowledge among the counties 6. Increase awareness about climate change and its impacts and adaptation to people
