Climate change is a very real problem being faced globally. It is a challenge to address climate change effectively, but parallely this is an opportunity in disguise of a call of the hour. Adaptation capacity that have been embossed in the different tires of the society through ages, can be upgraded to modern technology call and modified into an inclusive, succinct and sustainable form of benefit to the people directly or indirectly. Technology is an important adjunct of sustainable development. Improving environmental technology makes growth and environmental sustainability compatible. Development and use of appropriate technologies can provide a partial solution to deal with climate change. What is required is a prudent combination of new technologies and ecological sustainability, thereby addressing existing and emerging adaptation needs. The report highlights available technologies which are appropriate for the region as well as the technology gaps that need to be addressed in the identified priority sectors for climate change adaptation in the region. This report is based on the inputs from the APAN nodes.
