The National Adaptation Program of Action (2009), the National Climate Change Strategy (2010), Climate Change Action Plan for Lao PDR for 2013 – 2020, and the previous INDC (2015) emphasize the need to build climate resilience in the most vulnerable sectors: agriculture, forestry and land use, water resources, transport and urban development, and public health. The National Green Growth Strategy to 2030 (2019) further places climate change adaptation as a cross-cutting focus area with the objective of reducing vulnerability of the country and of the population, especially disadvantaged groups, to natural disasters and global economic uncertainties which have become more serious and unpredictable.
