The Heads of State or Government of the Member States of SAARC, at successive Summits since 1987, have reiterated the need to strengthen and intensify regional cooperation to preserve, protect and manage the diverse and fragile eco-systems of the region, including the need to address the challenges posed by climate change and natural disasters.<\/p>\n

The Leaders noted that the development process and prospects of the Member States were being severely undermined by these challenges.<\/p>\n

Regional Centers have also been established and constitute an important framework of SAARC Institutions, which address diverse aspects of environment, climate change and natural disasters.<\/p>\n
