Climate adaptation in Asia is shifting towards systemic integration, moving from localized interventions to institutionalized approaches. The focus is on embedding climate resilience through regulatory alignment, cross-ministerial coordination, and climate analytics in infrastructure decisions. Strengthening vertical integration between community priorities and national investment systems is crucial for lasting resilience. Investments in governance systems are needed to enhance climate adaptation finance effectiveness, with adaptive programming essential for resilience to climatic shocks and governance fluctuations in Asia.
