Describe any challenges encountered in implementing this Resolution and the measures taken
Unknown. Was just appointed as focal point for this resolution and have not spoken with Ministry of Environment in Japan. It appears no actions are currently being taken. Actions that could likely be taken include coordinating with other on-going initiatives (SERVIR Mekong, Open Development Mekong, GBIF) and identifying funding and partners outside of Japan.
