Date: Fri 8 Dec, 2023

Location: Dubai

Dubai, 6 December 2023 – The World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), Boston Consulting Group (BCG), and Think City, announced the launch of the Report and the Southeast Asia Climate Adaptation and Resilience (SEACAR) Alliance, a regional initiative that aims to emphasise the importance of nature-based solutions (NbS), climate analytics and artificial intelligence (AI) in advancing the resilience of cities and communities across six key themes: natural ecosystems, infrastructure, water, agriculture, health, and trade.

The SEACAR Alliance is a response to the urgent need to address the impacts of climate change on the Southeast Asian region, which is home to more than 673.3 million people of the global population, and some of the world’s most biodiverse and vulnerable ecosystems. With a focus on collaborative action, the alliance welcomes and encourages other stakeholders, cities, and communities from across the region to join this effort and share ideas, insights, and actions to speed up adaptation and resilience in the region.
