The Role of Climate Change Coordination Offices in Building Resilience: Lessons from ACCCRN

This report shares lessons learned from the implementation of Climate Change Coordination Offices (CCCOs) for Can Tho, Da Nang and Quy Nhon, Vietnam, which sought to coordinate urban climate resilience planning. These offices were intended to serve a coordination function, to collect and interpret climate data to help assess climate risks to the city’s development, to develop a multi-sector strategy for climate resilience, to build the capacity of other technical units in climate change planning and resilience building, and to coordinate external funding and climate change projects across all sectors to ensure they were consistent with local priorities.
