Resilient Development
ADB is promoting adaptation to climate change in the region by investing in water supply, sanitation, irrigation, flood control, transport and energy infrastructure that builds resilience to current and future climate variability.
Investment in sectors such as health and education will also improve countries’ capacity to adapt. Helping vulnerable communities and sectors to cope with climate variability strengthens their resilience to the long-term and uncertain impacts of climate change.
