Yom and Sakae Krang river basins are located in the lower North and the central part of Thailand and are highly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. Water flows in the Yom and Sakae Krang River Basin strongly vary between floods in the rainy season and drought in the dry season which adversely affects the livelihood of local people along the up-, mid-, and downstream of Yom and Sakaekrang. To help enhance water security and address climate risks, the Thai water sector has been supported
- to systematically integrate Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA) into river basin planning processes,
- to build technical capacities of relevant stakeholders,
- to engage stakeholders from the national to local levels and across water-related sectors in multistakeholder collaboration, and
- to develop technical guidance documents to support planning and implementation of EbA measures on the ground.
