Summary of the project

1. Proponent: ASEAN Secretariat (ED), Sponsor organization: ASEAN Working Group on Climate Change (AWGCC)
2. Project description:• This project aims to develop the ACCSAP which translates the prioritized actions shown in the ASEAN State ofClimate Change Report (“ASEAN climate vision 2050”) into concrete activities at the regional level.
• The ACCSAP aims toI. Accelerate implementation of AMS’ NDCs and sectoral roadmaps especially on common actions across AMS
by enhancing enabling conditions of finance, technology, and capacity development and by synergizing
adaptation and mitigation;
II. Accelerate implementation or review/assess the progress of the AWGCC Action Plan 2019 – 2025 (AAP);
III. Integrate/coordinate common actions or activities in ASEAN sectoral/cross-sectoral plans relevant to climatechange and those in various plans or activities implemented by ASEAN Development Partners and Dialogues;
andIV. Establish enabling conditions to promote smoother transitions toward the ASEAN’s long-term climate vision
identified in ASCCR to achieve the resilient and net-zero AESAN Community.
3. Implementation Agency: IGES
4. Status: Under review by AWGCC and Government of Japan
5. Duration: (Ideal case) From August 2023 to March 20253
