TheGMS Sustainable Agriculture and Food SecurityProgramassists theGMS countries in tackling key climate change challenges to their agricultural sectors. Energy The GMS Program promotes a just energy transition to low-carbon and renewable energy resources by (i) expandingclean energy trade, including the development of interconnections; (ii) initiating efficiency and conservation measures;and (iii) strengthening capacities for energy transition. Through theGMS Energy Transition Task Force, the programis creating an open platform for enhanced energy cooperation with the Association of Southeast Asian Nations anddevelopment partners. Environment The GMS Program aims to enhance environmental sustainability and climate change resilience in the subregion.TheGMS Climate Change and Environmental Sustainability Programfocuses on building climate and disaster resilience,facilitating low-carbon transitions, promoting climate-smart landscapes, enhancing environmental quality throughpollution control and sustainable waste management, deploying digital technologies for climate actions, and financinglow-carbon and climate-resilient infrastructure and technologies. Health Cooperation GMS health priorities focus on communicable disease control through cross-border surveillance and modeling,information exchange, implementation of international health regulations, and pandemic preparedness.
