Project Detail:
Strengthening Policies on Climate Change in Asia and the Pacific through Economic Research.
The TA cluster will support economic and policy research on climate change, including a flagship report on strategic climate issues in the region, development of a climate change knowledge and resources online portal, and climate-related knowledge sharing and capacity building events through the OneADB approach, as well as collaboration with external experts. The TA will cover ADB's DMCs. Project Rationale and Linkage to Country Regional Strategy Asia is one of the world's most vulnerable regions to climate change, and women and the poor in the region will bear many of the costs. Large gaps remain in adaptation investments, such as in natural capital, watersheds, and agriculture. Meanwhile, developing Asia accounts for an increasing share of greenhouse gas emissions. The energy intensity of economic activities in the region remains above the global average, as does the carbon intensity of energy systems. The region has a critical role to play in mitigating the threat of climate change and reducing vulnerability to climate risks.
