The program covered five major topics: carbon pricing and carbon finance, climate and disaster resilience, climate finance, disaster and emergency assistance, and alignment with the Paris Agreement.

The hybrid program consisted of e-learning courses, interactive online workshops, and in-person activities held at the ADB headquarters, culminating in a field day to JICA’s flood control project in the cities of Pasig and Marikina, Philippines. A total of 32 ADB staff (15 from headquarters and 17 from resident missions) were selected to participate in the 2024 Resilience Learning Month. The participants are International Staff (IS 1-5) and National Staff (NS 1-6) who play an active role in country programming, project preparation, and implementation, and who are not climate change or disaster risk management specialists but are interested in building skills and knowledge in these areas.
