Published by Asian Development Bank (ADB)
Feb. 21, 2024

The impacts of climate change, including slow and sudden onset weather events,
are reducing the ability of countries to meet their Sustainable Development
Goals (SDGs), according to a report released today by the Asian Development Bank
(ADB), United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific
(ESCAP), and United Nations Development Programme (UNDP).

“The Asia and Pacific region has made steady progress in increasing food
security, reducing the prevalence of malnutrition, and making improvements in
health and well-being,” said ADB Managing Director General Woochong Um.
“However, further gains are being hampered by multiple crises, including the
increasing effects of climate change, the lingering impacts of the Covid-19
pandemic, and the cost-of-living crisis.”

The report, People and Planet: Addressing the Interlinked Challenges of Climate
Change, Poverty, and Hunger in Asia and the Pacific, notes that more frequent
and severe climate-related hazards will result in reduced agricultural and labor
productivity, loss of livelihoods, and human displacement. These strain
socioeconomic and environmental systems, and hinder efforts to promote food
security and alleviate poverty, especially for poorer countries and vulnerable
communities.

There are promising solutions for the Asia and Pacific region that reflect the
interlinkages between climate, poverty, and food insecurity. One example is food
systems approaches that, designed properly, could support sustainable
livelihoods for millions of farmers, ensure food security, and reduce the
environmental and climate impacts of food production.

Current global and regional policies do not adequately support the integration
of climate priorities with efforts to address poverty and hunger. There is an
urgent need to develop stronger social protection systems for vulnerable people,
to help tackle the underlying causes of poverty and food insecurity, and to
strengthen their adaptive capacity to the impacts of climate change. Other key
enabling factors for integrated action are increased knowledge and skills
development, institutional capacity building, funding and investment, and
multistakeholder partnerships. Regional cooperation is especially important,
given the speed and scale of needed climate actions.

ADB is committed to achieving a prosperous, inclusive, resilient, and
sustainable Asia and the Pacific, while sustaining its efforts to eradicate
extreme poverty. Established in 1966, it is owned by 68 members—49 from the
region.
