Asian areas with the least capacity to respond, such as the Himalayan region and densely populated deltas, are hit first and hardest by climate impacts ( [[#De%20Souza--2015|De Souza et al., 2015]] ; [[#Khan--2017|Khan, 2017]] ). Acknowledging the limitations in terms of capacity and coping mechanisms towards climate change, education, training and awareness building is central to sustaining long-term capacity building ( [[#Clemens--2016|Clemens et al., 2016]] ). Education has a lot more to offer in terms of improvements in addressing climate change, particularly in the climate hotspots of Asia where mostly poor, disadvantaged communities vulnerable to climate change reside ( [[#Mani--2018|Mani et al., 2018]] ). In particular, when disseminated, climate-change awareness and information need more explanation ( [[#Steg--2014|Steg et al., 2014]] ; [[#Wi--2018|Wi and Chang, 2018]] ; [[#Cho--2020|Cho, 2020]] ). In addition, international and national support through institutions and financing is critical for successful capacity building ( [[#Hemachandra--2019|Hemachandra, 2019]] ), which must be designed for the long term and be self-sustaining ( [[#Gustafson--2018|Gustafson et al., 2018]] ). National ownership by recipient countries and members of communities of capacity-building efforts is key to ensuring their success ( [[#Roberts--2016|Roberts and Pelling, 2016]] ; [[#Mikulewicz--2017|Mikulewicz, 2017]] ).
