| dc.description.abstract | Asia and the Pacific’s vulnerability to climate change is dictated by its unique physical and socioeconomic attributes, including high population density, relatively low income levels, long coastlines, and the prominence of agriculture and fishing in providing livelihoods for the rural poor. The Asian Development Bank (ADB) has climate change programs which can be used to prepare for the future impacts of climate change. Adaptation measures may require investments in inshore coral rehabilitation, watershed reforestation, river levees, wetlands nourishment, and the introduction of hardier and more resistant crops. ADB is working with partners to make mitigation and adaptation actions affordable and more competitive. | en_US |
