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.

Environmental News Network – Predicting Glacier Surges – Understanding Ecological Tipping Points
Climate change is endangering Earth's ecosystems and reducing their resilience, with ecological tipping points playing a crucial role. Predicting drastic changes like the Amazon rainforest becoming a savannah or Greenland's ice sheet disappearing is challenging. Researchers from University of Potsdam, Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research, and Technical University of Munich have developed a new method to measure ecosystem resilience and assess data within tipping points. By applying this method to the Amazon rainforest and mountain glaciers in Alaska and Asia, they are able to make predictions of glacier surges multiple years in advance.
