Report preview: Mobilizing Partnerships to Shape Disaster & Climate Resilience in Asia-Pacific

Asia-Pacific is facing intensifying climate risks, from rising sea levels to extreme weather events. The region is home to six of the world’s ten countries most affected by climate-related impacts [1] and is currently warming nearly twice as fast as the global average. The rise in extreme weather events and disasters—floods, typhoons, droughts—is already displacing millions and overwhelming ecosystems, infrastructure, and communities. Economies and societies across the Asia-Pacific region are highly vulnerable to current and projected risks of these events, which by 2050 are projected to lead to up to 75 million internal climate migrants across the region [2].
