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
