Example Publications
- Biodiversity, Resources, Urban Resilence, Water
As part of our work to support resilient, inclusive, and livable cities across Asia, ICEM has produced a series of technical papers showcasing the role of biodiversity as essential urban infrastructure. These papers explore how nature strengthens climate adaptation and mitigation, improves public health and community wellbeing, and enhances flood and drought management in cities. […]
- Biodiversity, Climate Change, Disaster Risk Reduction, Project description, Water
Project Description The Sekong, Sesan, and Srepok (3S) rivers formed a vital transboundary sub-basin of the Mekong, shared by Cambodia, Lao PDR, and Viet Nam. This region was crucial for biodiversity, sediment transport, fisheries, irrigation, and flood and drought resilience. Contributing over 20% of the Mekong’s annual flow and nearly 15% of its sediment load, […]
- Biodiversity, Climate Change, Environmental Economics, Project description
Project Description Fiji, while rich in natural and cultural assets, faced unique challenges due to its geographic isolation, environmental degradation, and high vulnerability to climate change. Tourism remained the country’s primary economic driver, contributing 34% of GDP in 2018, but also posed threats to the ecosystems it relied on through unsustainable practices and coastal development. […]
- Biodiversity, Climate Change, Environmental Economics, Project description
Project Description Cambodia’s rich biodiversity and cultural heritage positioned it well to expand ecotourism, particularly in the wake of COVID-19’s devastating impact on the tourism sector, which saw up to an 80% drop in arrivals and US$2.8 billion in losses. The Cardamom Mountains–Tonle Sap (CMTS) landscape, home to Southeast Asia’s largest freshwater lake and rainforest, […]
- Climate Change, Disaster Risk Reduction, Environmental Economics, Project description, Water
Project Description The 9C-9T sub-basin is a vital tributary of the Mekong River, shared by Thailand and Cambodia, supporting 1.4 million people and critical ecosystems linked to the Tonle Sap Lake. Its freshwater resources sustain agriculture, industry, biodiversity, and livelihoods, but are increasingly threatened by flood, drought, and climate change. The 9C-9T Joint Project, under […]
