Accelerating Climate Action

Despite decades of progress, the Asia and Pacific region faces tremendous development challenges. Poverty, hunger, debts, conflicts, disasters, and inequalities remain major obstacles. Looming over them is the defining challenge of our time: climate change.

As the region’s climate bank, ADB helps countries navigate these challenges and plot sustainable paths for their development.

Building Brick-By-Brick

Working with partners empowers ADB to tackle, project by project, the complex and diverse challenges faced by developing member countries. Whether advancing the adoption of renewable energy, fostering the growth of women-led enterprises, enhancing support for older people or individuals with disabilities, or harnessing the potential of smart technologies, our partnerships have yielded transformative results that improve lives.
