RFCC 2015 is regarded as an outstanding Forum that will cope with the topics on Climate Change, Sustainability and Environmental Protection and a lot more. It strove to enhance this channel of communication among the gamut of stakeholders, primarily among ASEAN countries. The Forum also sought to propose interventions that would influence climate policy in the region, and inspire ASEAN position for climate change negotiations at the global scale in preparation for the Climate Change Forum in Paris sometime in December this year.
