Mekong-US Partnership Track 1.5 Policy Dialogue
A series of track 1.5 conferences focused on strengthening the Mekong-U.S. Partnership (2021-2025).
About the Project
The Mekong-U.S. Partnership Track 1.5 Policy Dialogues are a series of multi-day conferences taking place from 2021-2025 to explore solutions to key policy and sustainability challenges facing the Lower Mekong. The conferences will explore the following themes including: Connectivity, energy and infrastructure, non-traditional security, transboundary water governance, and nature-based solutions. Tying the conference experiences together are cross-cutting values of inclusivity, resilience (including climate), and collaboration. The Partnership Policy Dialogues are generously supported by a grant from the U.S. Department of State and implemented by the Stimson Center and the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN).
