Asia and the Pacific is the frontline in the battle against climate change. ADB is helping developing countries shift to low-carbon growth and protect those most vulnerable against the expected impacts of climate change. This session focuses on exploring regional experience, key challenges as well as solutions for climate change in implementing ADB-financed projects. The session will also lay the importance of embedding climate change mitigation and adaptation aspects.

This session provides insights into the ADB project cycle, discussing the use of project readiness filters and advance actions during project preparation and how these support successful project implementation and overall strengthening of development results and DMC’s institutions.

This session demonstrates how a ‘readiness checklist’ for projects under preparation helps achieve the expected project key results through improved quality of projects at entry. A case study on the Project Readiness Criteria adopted by the Governments of Pakistan, Uzbekistan, and Kyrgyz Republic helps participants understand how the filters work, how critical they are for sound project preparation, and how these best practices may be replicated by other DMCs for ADB funded projects.
