Women are disproportionately affected by climate impacts due to existing social, economic, and institutional inequalities. Yet a critical gap remains between womenโs participation in adaptation planning and access to adaptation finance to implement their needs.
To help address this gap, the Gender Window was established under the Community Resilience Partnership Program Trust Fund. As a tagging mechanism within the Trust Fund, it identifies and recognizes projects that transfer adaptation finance directly to women.

Stronger partnerships mean a more disaster-resilient Southeast Asia.
From strengthening local preparedness to improving disaster risk management and early warning systems, protecting the region from climate and disaster risks is a shared mission.
Through collaboration among ADB, Canada, and Japan, support for ASEAN is helping strengthen resilience to transboundary disaster risks across Southeast Asia, translating shared goals into practical action on the ground.

Across Asia and the Pacific region, hundreds of millions live within 10 kilometers of the shoreline, while coastal areas generate an estimated $7 trillion in economic output each year. But these areas are at risk from increasing hazards that threaten people, infrastructure, ecosystems, and economic activity.
Join our Asian Impact Webinar on 21 October to explore the Asia-Pacific Climate Report series that connects the development case for coastal resilience with practical pathways for delivery, comprising planning approaches, financing options, and policy enablers to move planning to action.
