Summary
Recognising the growing sense of urgency around the critical challenges, risks and
opportunities facing the Lower Mekong River Basin countries now and in the future
resulting from the interaction of development and climate change, and that optimal water
management to achieve a water secure Mekong River Basin is crucial to environmental
integrity and the underpinning of economic and social well‐being of basin communities,
but that new ideas and innovative ways of working together will also need to be found to
adequately address the growing risks and trade-offs involved in basin development and
management.
