“Laos needs substantial technical and financial support for adaptation to climate change, said the head of the Lao delegation at Thursday’s high-level session at the UN climate change conference in Poland.
Minister to the Prime Minister’s Office and head of the Lao delegation Mme Khempheng Pholsena said Thursday (Poland time) that this includes money for capacity development and strengthening institutions. It also includes trying to bring climate strategies into the mainstream of national planning and policy.
And strategies to mitigate and adapt to climate change should be integrated into national poverty reduction programmes, she said.
'Our country is currently working on a number of strategies that will allow us to more effectively and sustainably manage our natural resources,' she said.”
