SE-ON-802014-0763-CLARE-SEI-Adaptation-Research-Alliance Stiftelsen The Stockholm Environment Institute (SEI) The Adaptation Research Alliance (ARA) is a global coalition responding to the urgent challenges faced by vulnerable communities from climate change. The membership is made up of researchers, funders, policymakers, development bodies, and community-based organisations committed to action-oriented research for adaptation that supports climate resilient futures. The global research community mobilises and connects to governments, communities, and vulnerable groups on the frontlines of climate change. It endorses research that is designed through equitable collaboration, centred on users, and focused on generating solutions. By highlighting the critical role that research can play in informing effective adaptation action at local, national, and global levels, ARA works to reduce the risks from climate change. ARA's mission is: To accelerate and scale investments in action-oriented research that addresses the pressing knowledge needs for adaptation and resilience of the most vulnerable. To build capacity at all stages from research to action, to strengthen research implementation linkages, and to promote greater global learning. ARA endorses the Adaptation Research for Impact Principles framework for action-oriented research that is driven by user needs, co-produced with local experts, and equitable in practice. Secretariat: Since 2025, the ARA Secretariat is hosted by the Stockholm Environment Institute (SEI) and Chulalongkorn University Social Research Institute (CUSRI), in Bangkok. It was previously hosted by SouthSouthNorth (SSN), a leading not-for-profit organization based in Cape Town, South Africa. UK - Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office Stiftelsen The Stockholm Environment Institute (SEI) ARA is a global alliance with members across the globe. Its activities are global in scope, with a special focus on countries in the Global South. ARA focuses on climate change adaptation at local, national and global levels. 429704 381496 SE-ON-802014-0763-UK-PACT-2-Inclusive-low-carbon-transport-in-Thailand Stiftelsen The Stockholm Environment Institute (SEI) The project will provide technical support, a feasible policy pathway and implementation roadmap to accelerate equitable, sustainable and low-carbon transportation in Thailand via congestion charging. Spanning 25 months, the project follows a mixed-methods and co-creative approach, building on the 2022 pre-feasibility study conducted under the TRANSfer project implemented by to investigate implications of the congestion charging scenarios to vulnerable groups, and consider broad societal costs and benefits including health and safety impacts. The main output will be an endorsed implementation roadmap for Bangkok. Consultations and training will also be undertaken with selected secondary Thai cities to scope further expansion of the model.

The engagement phase of the program aims to: • support pioneer initiatives across the full value chain – from forestry to construction – demonstrating practical wood-based solutions. • develop the Wood Solution Support Platform, an international network of experts and technology providers supporting the entire value chain from forestry to timber construction. • build funding partnerships with bilateral, multilateral, philanthropic, and private-sector actors for the next phase. • align with the Thailand-Sweden Strategic Partnership (August 2025), fostering business-to-business collaboration between Thai and Swedish actors.

Enhanced capacities and inclusive collaborations of Mekong’s knowledge producers, policy influencers, and young professionals are needed to deliver credible research, solution-oriented knowledge co-production, policy engagement, and communications that respond to the differentiated needs of local communities, women and other marginalised groups, and local leaders in addressing climate resilience challenges. 2. Improved policy development and implementation by policymakers and practitioners that are inclusive, gender-responsive and grounded in human rights-based approach to deliver equitable climate resilience solutions in the Mekong Region. 3. Adoption of just, equitable and sustainable practices by the private sector and other stakeholders, based on inclusive evidence from solution-oriented knowledge co-production, will contribute to climate resilience in the Mekong Region.
