Asia Leadership Program

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.

Opportunities for Private Sector Collaboration with ADB on Developing Innovative Transport Projects

Transport is a big chunk in the operations of Asian Development Bank (ADB)--about one-third of its lending in most years goes to this sector. While modern transport systems improve social and economic activities, the need to combat its negative effects such as pollution and congestion remains. ADB works with various partners to promote sustainable transport, particularly in its developing member countries.
