Climate Action South Asia: Information Update No. 4: Addressing Climate Risks in Development Interventions
Asian Development Bank | November 2013
Abstract
As a first step toward addressing climate change risks in development investment, a climate change risk screening system is being applied in projects in the six South Asia developing member countries of ADB. Using extensive geophysical information and downscaled high-resolution climate data, the screening system enables localized climate impact assessments by analyzing both natural hazards in the project areas and climate-related risks to the project investment.
