Urban populations are projected to increase from 54% to 66% of the global
population by 2050, with close to 90% of the increase concentrated in Asia and
Africa. Cities and towns—a growing source of greenhouse gas emissions—will need
to address challenges posed by climate change. A nature-based approach in
identifying climate change vulnerabilities and developing relevant adaptation
options was conducted in three towns of the Greater Mekong Subregion (GMS).

Working with local governments, nongovernment organizations, women’s groups, and
professional associations, town-wide adaptation measures were defined by
overlaying climate change projections on town plans and zoning schemes for
strategic infrastructure. This publication captures valuable experience and
lessons from the project.


ABOUT THE PUBLICATION

The publication highlights the results of a successful partnership between ADB
and the International Centre for Environmental Management (ICEM) with
cofinancing from the Nordic Development Fund (NDF). This was implemented through
a technical assistance on climate resilience in cities in the GMS. ICEM’s
demonstrated and widely tested expertise in climate adaptation and mitigation
methodology provided the technical basis for the study. Cofinancing from the NDF
provided the impetus for capacity building and knowledge sharing of
international good practices.
