Knowledge Sharing & Capacity Building

Knowledge Sharing and Networking 

APAN opens avenues for exchanging diverse knowledge sources as well as networking among adaptation practitioners. Every two years, APAN holds the Asia-Pacific Climate Change Adaptation Forum (APAN Forum) in collaboration with various organisations. It is considered the largest gathering of adaptation practitioners in the region. 

Expansion of Global initiatives at the Regional level 

APAN provides convening, facilitation and technical support to several global initiatives such as the Lima Adaptation Knowledge Initiative (LAKI) and the Educational Partnerships for Innovation in Communities – Network Asia (EPIC-N Asia), etc. and their articulation at the regional level. 

Knowledge Dissemination and Capacity Building 

APAN organizes technical webinars to increase understanding of emerging adaptation issues and key policy discussions. The network also publishes quarterly newsletters and bi-monthly digests to disseminate information, knowledge, evidence and learning resources to adaptation practitioners.
