Projects
Leading the Pilot Voluntary Carbon Footprint Assessment Project for Private Sector in Lao PDR, developing methodologies, assessment tools, and a strategic roadmap to help businesses calculate and reduce their carbon emissions while aligning with national climate policies.
After conducting site assessments and stakeholder consultations in flood-ravaged La District, Rgen Consultancy and World Waternet Laos are designing resilient replacements for the destroyed water intake and pipeline system on the Nam Keud River, with nature-based solutions to protect the Nam Keud River watershed against future extreme weather events.
In collaboration with Sevea Consulting, Rgen studied water management challenges in rapidly urbanizing Laos and Cambodia, developing a comprehensive guidebook with technical drawings of affordable, sustainable, and low-maintenance infrastructure solutions tailored to municipalities struggling with inadequate drainage, flooding, and water scarcity.

Rgen conducted comprehensive greenhouse gas inventories following the GHG Protocol standard for 12 The Asia Foundation country offices across Asia, establishing baselines and providing customized recommendations that will enable the organization to effectively monitor and reduce their environmental impact as part of their climate action strategy.
Rgen conducted an extensive field study in Khammouane Province, Laos, interviewing hundreds of farmers to assess the technical, social, and economic aspects of rice cultivation, evaluating the potential for implementing climate-resilient techniques like Alternate Wetting and Drying (AWD), biochar applications, Direct Seeding Mulch-Based Cropping systems, and other agroecological practices across four districts where The Asia Foundation operates.
​Rgen designed educational tools on climate change and trained PCF educators and partners, addressing the critical gap in climate awareness and education in Laos.
The study investigated the challenges and opportunities associated with replacing traditional cooking methods with e-cooking solutions in Laos. Traditional methods contribute to indoor air pollution and pose health risks, but cultural habits and economic factors hinder the adoption of cleaner alternatives.
This study investigated food waste generation and management practices within the HORECA sector (Hotels, Restaurants, and Cafes) in Laos, focusing on Vientiane Capital and Vang Vieng. The research addressed the significant knowledge gap regarding food waste in this sector, which contributes substantially to overall waste in the Lao PDR.
Climate Fresk is an engaging group activity using cards to explore cause-and-effect relationships in climate-related topics such as human activities, fossil fuels, CO2 emissions, absorbent gases, and environmental disasters.
