Despite the diversity among Asia-Pacific countries in terms of population, socioeconomic development and geography, many share vulnerabilities and risks. Among them are transboundary natural disasters, scarcity of natural resources, food security and climate change. Shared vulnerabilities and risks to socioeconomic development and environmental sustainability have been heightened with the increased interdependences among countries that regional integration brings. In this context, it is essential to recognize the value of regional cooperation mechanisms, and to realize their implementation, which includes sharing of best practices, experiences and expertise.
