Strengthening the evidence base and institutional infrastructure needed to drive systems change remained a central focus throughout the week.
The Centre for Impact Investing and Practices, in partnership with Temasek, Invesco, and the CGIAR Hub for Sustainable Finance, launched Climate Adaptation and Resilience in Asia: Pricing Risk, Sizing Opportunities, Financing Solutions. The report identifies more than 250 priority adaptation solutions across nine sectors — including agriculture, water, coastal protection, and health systems — providing a practical roadmap for where philanthropic and development capital can deliver the greatest impact.
Building on this, the Amplifier programme, an initiative by CIIP and PAA, announced a new partnership with the Asian Development Bank to strengthen the pipeline of investment-ready climate adaptation solutions, with a specific focus on water resilience. By supporting the scaling, adoption and investment readiness of high-potential solutions, the collaboration aims to address critical bottlenecks that prevent promising climate adaptation solutions from being deployed at scale and attracting larger pools of capital.
