This consultation draft report by the Stockholm Environment Institute examines the state of Community-Based Adaptation (CBA) and Community-Based Disaster Risk Reduction (CBDRR) in the Greater Mekong Subregion (GMS). It identifies a gap between national-level policy frameworks and local-level implementation, noting that siloed institutional approaches and a lack of standardized tools hinder effective risk reduction. The document advocates for the institutionalization of bottom-up approaches, decentralized climate finance, and the integration of DRR and CCA to better support vulnerable populations, including women, ethnic minorities, and people with disabilities.
