Climate Adaptation and Resilience in Asia: Pricing Risk, Sizing Opportunities, Financing Solutions
Back

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).

Launched officially on 19 May at the Impact Investing Roundtable 2026, a side event of Ecosperity, key highlights include:

  • A dedicated Asia lens for regionally relevant solutions and analysis
  • >250 solutions identified and prioritised on the basis of impact potential and commercial viability across sectors - see Chapter 2 for entry points into CA&R for funders across the capital spectrum, from philanthropic to early and late-stage private investors
  • US$100 billion of real CA&R financing flows in Asia tracked between 2021 and 2025, including public, philanthropic, and private investment data - see Chapters 2 and 3 for insights on CA&R financing flows from source to sub-sector and solutions (where available) across the region
