Mekong Environment Forum, or MEF, is an non-for-profit and independent policy forum for environmental scientific information, news and studies of the Mekong-nurtured ecosystems and wetlands, including the Lower Mekong Delta.

MEF operates in cooperation with Can Tho University's administrative support. The forum began as an initiative championed by Nguyen Minh Quang, James Borton, and Mikio Oishi and was established in June 2017 out of their shared passion for Mekong environment and wildlife. It is staffed by a group of committed individuals, notably Gary Sands and Adam Christopher Hunt, and supported by a wide range of contributors many of whom are environmental activists, independent experts, students and volunteers in the Mekong Delta.

The MEF was formed in response to the public’s growing concern about the impacts that Mekong mainstream dams and climate change would pose on the Lower Mekong Delta’s water and food security, and the livelihoods of millions of people.

    Mekong Environment Forum (MEF) and The Water Agency (TWA) are joining forces by initiating an ambitious community-level innovation program in the Mekong Delta. This bottom-up approach, in which innovative and practical products and services can be piloted and demonstrated on-the-ground, provides valuable insights and best practices that make a tangible difference for local farming communities in the short-term, while also feeding into the longer-term vision and strategy development at the Mekong Delta (system) level.

    To kick-start this program, MEF and TWA in association with Can Tho University and the Mekong Capital are organizing a 2-day workshop that offers a “big tent approach”, bringing together representatives from all relevant stakeholders, including local and international solution providers/suppliers, provincial authorities, local farmers, academia and investors. The workshop will create a platform for providers and suppliers of climate-smart solutions to learn about the Mekong Delta and community-level challenges, and meet with community representatives and authorities and discuss opportunities for concrete projects.

    Inception workshop (online + offline) will be held on 21 and 22 September at Can Tho University.

    If your company offers practical solutions that can support local farming communities in the Mekong Delta, please contact us to discuss your participation in the workshop:

    Nguyen Minh Quang (MEF): [email protected]
    Gregor Van Essen (TWA): [email protected]
