Introducing the Lao PDR CCG Network

Overview

The Lao PDR CCG Network began in October 2021 as CCG’s second partner country network, with the Faculty of Engineering of the National University of Laos leading as the institutional partner in the country. Through the Lao PDR country network, the CCG programme collaborates with key policy makers there, including planners from the Ministry of Energy and Mines and the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment, along with leading domestic researchers from Lao academic institutions.

In Lao PDR, we are working to empower the Government of Laos to devise and implement inclusive, low-emission, resilient economic policy. To reach this goal, we are conducting a range of research and collaboration outputs, including co-creation workshops and capacity building events.

Lao PDR CCG Network Special Interest Groups

The Lao PDR CCG Network is made up of Special Interest Groups (SIGs), which are populated by a group of country and CCG experts (academia, government, development banks, among others) that have a defined interest and/or expertise on a theme relevant to CCG research, and together, each SIG works collaboratively. The aim of a SIG is to catalyse a collaborative community of practice and identify areas of policy or innovation that could be bolstered by CCG resources and/or capacity.

The Lao PDR CCG Network currently contains three SIGs:

SIG 1: Energy Systems Modelling in Lao PDR

SIG 2: Resource Efficiency in Industry in Lao PDR

SIG 3: Low-Emission transport
