Stakeholder Engagement and Governance: Lessons from the 2024 Flood and Beyond
The registration is closed.
The Mekong Dialogue has been held annually since 2019, with forums in 2021, 2022, and 2023. The 5th Mekong Dialogue, scheduled for February 2025 to be co-organized with the School of Social Innovation, Mae Fah Luang University, Thailand, will focus on "Stakeholder Engagement and Governance: Lessons from the 2024 Flood and Beyond." The 5th Dialogue will specifically address and highlight the growing unpredictability and severity of climate-related disasters in the Mekong region that impacted massively, especially Chiang Rai and its neighboring areas.
This year’s Mekong Dialogue will bring together networks of universities, think tanks, NGOs, and experts from Mekong countries, including Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam, with significant expertise in water governance from China, Japan, and international organizations. The event is expected to foster a common understanding of transboundary water resources management, the governance structures for managing the tributaries of the Mekong River, a global challenge impacting both urban and semi-urban development.
