The risks posed by climate change are already present in Asia and are continuing worsen as climate hazards affect the region with increasing frequency. Climate adaptation and resilience (CA&R) has emerged as a global imperative yet remains underfunded
To address this crucial gap and opportunity, CIIP has partnered with Temasek, Invesco, and ImpactSF (CGIAR Hub for Sustainable Finance), with support from Dalberg, to prepare the report Climate Adaptation and Resilience in Asia: Pricing Risk, Sizing Opportunities, Financing Solutions (2026).
The report examines the climate adaptation and resilience (CA&R) landscape in Asia, spanning climate risks and impacts on the region’s economy, private sector, and communities, as well as the suite of available solutions and how the private and philanthropic sectors can complement and amplify these efforts. It covers East Asia, South Asia, Southeast Asia (SEA), with a focus on China, India, and SEA.
