Climate Proofing A Risk-based Approach to Adaptation
Asian Development Bank | June 2005
Abstract
This book presents case studies that demonstrate the climate proofing of infrastructure and community development projects, and the mainstreaming of climate change considerations into national strategic development plans. In the context of addressing climate and related risks, the term “mainstreaming” is used to describe the integration of climate change adaptation into ongoing and new development policies, plans, and strategies, including laws and regulations (e.g., environmental impact assessment requirements). Mainstreaming aims to enhance the effectiveness, efficiency, and longevity of initiatives directed at reducing climate-related risks, while at the same time contributing to sustainable development and improved quality of life.
