| Sustainability Report 2009 |
Sustainability Report 2009 - The second Sustainability Report of ADB is readily available. It reflects our continued work on promoting environmentally sustainable and socially inclusive growth, and minimizing our corporate environmental footprint. |
| The Economics of Climate Change in Southeast Asia |
ADB's study details the region's vulnerability to the impacts of climate change. Increases in temperature, sea level rise and changes in rainfall patterns are projected to cost the region up to 6.7% of GDP each year by the end of the century. The report provides strong evidence that investing in climate change adaptation and mitigation options outweigh the costs and gives recommendations for cost-effective measures, focusing on agriculture, energy, forestry sectors. |
| Under the Weather and the Rising Tide: Adapting to a Changing Climate in Asia and the Pacific |
Many countries of Asia and the Pacific are at great risk from the anticipated impacts of climate change. Climate impacts may undermine the attainment of long-term development goals in many countries, and it is likely that the poorest people in the poorest countries will suffer most. The publication describes a number of adaptation strategies and actions being pursued by ADB, its country partners, and the international community. Also highlighted are emerging trends in climate adaptation strategies, including the blending of mitigation and adaptation, disaster risk management and climate adaptation synergies, community adaptation tools, and applied downscaled modeling. |
