through the lens of Sadhus, street vendors, pilgrims, farmers and so on. The mountain areas for the reasons of their difficult landscape cannot be visited by the Train. Portable/mobile multimedia exhibitions Table 2 Reach out Summary cater to these places. The content of the SECAS Train was tailor made to fit in a 4-wheel drive vehicle. Using ESD for creating awareness on climate change and disaster risk reduction will go a long way in having climate smart and disaster resilient communities. These interventions have been helpful in achieving SDGs 13 & 15. The mobile/ portable exhibition has been very effective in creating awareness, empowering communities for making suitable climate change adaptation. The exhibition has also helped the policy makers and planners to have appropriate policies and planning. The exhibition creates platforms for discussion, interaction amongst different stakeholders. At each location of the exhibition we get to know many new things from the local community and these newly learnt ideas are added to the exhibition. The local community feels part of the exhibition and when their contribution is included in the exhibition they appreciate it. Thus the exhibition keeps growing, becoming more participatory and community generated. This also facilitates exchange of adaptation and management practices between communities. Overall the exhibition has proved very effective, generated huge interest and resulted into immense benefits towards Climate Change adaptation. 342 Proceedings of the International Conference on Climate Change, Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs): Policy and Practice 27-29 June 2016, Cha-am, Phetchaburi, Thailand
