Towards Strengthening Cooperation for Urban Resilience in ASEAN: scoping paper focusing on aspects in climate change adaptation, disaster risk management and sustainable urban development
Author:Till Sterzel, Anna Erbacher, Daria Gettueva and Julia Kirr.

Abstract
This study focuses on contributing to more effectively combining climate change adaptation (CCA), disaster risk management (DRM) and sustainable urban development through increasing cooperation, integration and action in ASEAN. We further focus on three specific ASEAN Working Groups (AWGs): the AWG on Environmentally Sustainable Cities (AWGESC), the AWG on Climate Change (AWGCC), as well as the ASEAN Committee on Disaster Management Working Group on Prevention and Mitigation (ACDM WG P&M). We focus on selected topics of the three AWGs, not all, and thereby focus on selected aspects within CCA, disaster risk and sustainable urban development. The study only loosely touches climate change mitigation and biodiversity conservation. It highlights a few selected synergies and links of the study’s aspects in focus with mitigation and biodiversity conservation, as well as the need to ensure co-benefits with these topics, and the need to avoid negative trade-offs as much as possible from the outset.
The study highlights opportunities for strengthening cooperation for urban resilience across policy levels, sectors, and the region.
