ADB’s climate change operations have positioned the organization to be able to contribute towards a climate-resilient development path for its developing member countries (DMCs).
Adopting climate-resilient measures and technology in infrastructure projects ensure reliability, sustainability, and safety of these projects for their intended beneficiaries.
For South Asia, about 70% of ADB’s projects in the pipeline for 2021–2023 have design elements that will scale-up support for low greenhouse gas emissions, climate and disaster resilience, and environmental sustainability.
