Regional Resource Centre for Asia and the Pacific
About us
Regional Resource Centre for Asia and the Pacific (RRC.AP) is an Institute-wide center of the Asian Institute of Technology (AIT). AIT RRC.AP bridges the gap between the scientific understanding of sustainable development processes and sound policies at national and regional levels. Our goal is to provide resources for policy setting towards sustainable development, acting as a science-policy interface by regional networking, processing and assessing information and knowledge for governments, local communities and other stakeholders in the Asia-Pacific region. AIT RRC.AP, has served as a Secretariat for several networks and Multilateral Environmental Agreements. The Centre has provided support for the development and implementation of national strategies and policies in several fields of sustainable development.
Our work on Waste and Resource Management
AIT RRC.AP works with various actors and stakeholders along with resource use and waste value chain, to co-develop solutions, build capacities, manage knowledge, and set policy agenda to drive the transition to sustainable waste and resource management. We catalyse innovation by providing stakeholders, principally governments, the private sector, INGO’s, CSO’s with tools, frameworks, and mechanisms to contextualize, and scale innovations that support the transitions to sustainable waste and resource management.
Our work on Air Pollution
AIT RRC.AP contributes to several initiatives aiming to address air pollution and atmospheric environment issues in the region based on science. Our activities in this topic include secretarial management and support, scientific research, advisory services and knowledge exchange, and capacity building.
