Challenges:

- Lead to climate change and will impact on all major development sectors, through potential for increased venerability of communities to disasters, increased spread disease, low-end agricultural productivity and increased cost of infrastructure provision. 

- Asian countries that are poor will be affected by the green house gases through energy generation, transport, industrial activity and deforestation.

- Australia has committed significant resources to combat the effect of climate change gloablly and in our region.

- Australia will work closely to those countries and organisations to identify needs and effective responses in the area of adaption , technology cooperation and deforestation.
