About the Event
The Mekong River Basin is an important subregion in Southeast Asia ranging from the Tibetan Plateau in China to the southern tip of Vietnam. Urbanization and economic development have significantly impacted the river’s biodiversity and surrounding countries’ access to resources.
What ecological crises are occurring in the Mekong River Basin? How are partners and players in the region responding? What can the United States do to credibly improve the Mekong River Basin?
Join FPRI and a panel of experts to discuss the ecological and geopolitical significance of the Mekong River Basin.
