Designing Climate-resilient Housing: Best Practices from ADB-supported Projects

Central and West Asia Department of ADB, in cooperation with East Asia Department, organized a session on climate-resilient housing. The session showcased two pioneering ADB projects on climate-resilient housing in Uzbekistan and Mongolia. It highlighted key components of the projects on building resilience. It also discussed key considerations in designing similar projects in the future. Reactors also shared insights on the topic.

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.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
