ASEAN Working Group on Climate Change (AWGCC)

The AWGCC was established in 2009 to oversee the implementation of the relevant action lines in the ASCC Blueprint. The Action Plan on Joint Response to Climate Change was also developed in 2012 to provide a more detailed reference in implementing the Blueprint. The AWGCC will serve as the implementing body under the framework of ASEAN Climate Change Initiative (ACCI) for the implementation of the Action Plan. The ACCI will function as a consultative forum to promote coordination and collaboration among various ASEAN sectoral bodies dealing with sectors impacted by climate change such as energy, forestry, agriculture, disaster management etc to ensure a well coordinated and integrated approach to address climate change.
