Climate change is a major threat to improving prosperity in Asia and the Pacific. The Asian Development Bank (ADB) has an important role to play in responding to the threats---and opportunities---presented by climate change in the region. To better align its investments and associated policy and institutional support with the priorities of its developing member countries relating to climate and development each of ADB's five regional departments---covering Central and West Asia, East Asia, the Pacific, South Asia, and Southeast Asia---has drafted a Climate Change Implementation Plan to serve as a guide for climate-related responses, both to mitigate greenhouse emissions and to adapt to climate change impacts. This report summarizes the recommendations of the regional plans and outlines ongoing and planned interventions to help build low-carbon, climate resilient economies in Asia and the Pacific.
