South-Central Bangladesh is prone to extended monsoon flooding and water-logging from the ocean and the Ganges and Januma Rivers. Various climate change studies have revealed that this region will be more prone to flooding and water logging due to heavy rainfall and other predicted effects...

Bangladesh is a disaster prone country due to its geographic location, and climate change will enhance the country’s exposure to climate-related disasters, such as floods, droughts, tropical storms and cyclones. In 2004, the Government of Bangladesh, DFID, and UNDP, started implementation of the Comprehensive Disaster...

Agriculture is the main source of livelihoods for rural communities in the Bundelkhand region of India. The region however faces a number of natural constraints such as erratic rainfall, low soil fertility, soil erosion, limited irrigation facilities and degraded forests. These constraints adversely affect the...

The Project will increase agricultural productivity and irrigation water use efficiency in the project area through (ii) climate-resilient irrigation infrastructure such as (i) construction of four new main irrigation canals and associated branch and tertiary canals in the north and south of the Gongboxia and...

The TA will help ensure food security for the populations in Pacific coral triangle countries due to increased resilience of their marine and coastal ecosystems. It will also support the introduction of a more effective coastal and marine resource management, especially those associated with coral...

The objectives of the Mainstreaming Climate Change Adaptation in Irrigated Agriculture Project in China of are : to enhance adaptation to climate change in agriculture and irrigation water management practices through awareness-raising, institutional and capacity strengthening, and demonstration activities in the Huang-Huai-Hai Basin (3H Basin)....

The Huang-Huai-Hai (3H) Basin is home to more than 400 million people and is China’s prime agricultural area. With a high water demand, the region is sensitive to the decreases in stream flows and ground water recharges that are projected as an impact of climate...

The impact of the ADB project will be reduced poverty and enhanced economic activities in the project areas. The outcome will be improved road connectivity adaptive to climate change impacts. The outputs of the ADB financed project are: (i) rehabilitation of priority provincial roads totalling...

The Participatory Monitoring and Evaluation of Community Based Adaptation (PM+E4CBA) project will identify and tailor monitoring and evaluation instruments for enabling local planning, management and assessment of community based adaptation based on existing frameworks for participatory monitoring and evaluation, and for longitudinal evidence collection and...

Economic studies show that climate change will affect not only agricultural production, but also agricultural prices, trade and food self-sufficiency. The research presented here indicates that producer responses to these climate- induced shocks will lessen the impacts of climate change on agricultural production compared to...
