Capacity Development Course

SDCD held a virtual Resilience Learning Month 2022 capacity development course in September which targeted national staff from ADB resident missions and country offices in the South and Southeast Asia Departments. The course is comprised of six short, highly interactive workshops that integrate training on climate and disaster resilience, climate finance, climate change mitigation, and disaster risk financing.

Adaptation without Borders

Implications of climate risk are increasingly being felt beyond borders.

The session introduced the global partnership Adaptation Without Borders, created in response to the emerging global challenge of transboundary climate risk, to create opportunities to strengthen international cooperation and to pave the way toward global resilience.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Peer Learning Sessions: Innovations in Pacific Disaster Risk Knowledge

This session was the first of three technical sessions to explore risk knowledge in the Pacific in more detail. We will hear from government departments and regional experts who summarized the current availability of risk information in the Pacific. They presented examples of how risk insights have been generated via risk assessments and what skills are needed and highlighted ongoing/near-future projects expected to add to current knowledge.
