Asia Leadership Program
01 January 2012
Asia needs leaders and changes agents to bring climate change solutions and sustainable development to the region.
The Asia Leadership Program on Sustainable Development and Climate Change aimed to produce a critical mass of “change agents” among policy makers and practitioners in ADB’s client countries. These change agents would incorporate innovative solutions for climate change and sustainable development in their policies and development programs; and catalyze and facilitate expanded sharing of knowledge solutions with and among ADB’s client countries.
The program targeted key policy makers and technical officers who are emerging leaders committed to sustainable development and climate change adaptation and mitigation. It also targeted environment advocates, members of civil society, the academe, and those interested or engaged in sustainable development and climate change work.
