Bhutan faces mounting pressure on its municipal solid waste (MSW) management systems. Its capital city, Thimphu, generates approximately 50 tonnes of MSW per day, of which roughly 30 tonnes per day is organic (wet) waste that is currently deposited at the Memelakha landfill — an ageing open-dumpsite already well beyond its intended lifespan. At the...

Strengthening the Chain of Evidence, Policy Influence, and Implementation: Opportunities and Constraints in Climate Adaptation Based on ACCSAP Development Experience

esearch Evidence and Policy Making: What Works to Advance Climate Adaptation and Resilience. A Research–Policy Dialogue
Author:
This presentation reflected on the experience of developing the ASEAN Climate Change Strategic Action Plan 2026–2030 (ACCSAP) to examine how evidence can move beyond assessment and analysis to influence policy and support implementation. The ACCSAP experience showed that evidence becomes policy-relevant not simply through technical quality, but...
