Regional Project Proposal to Enhance Climate Resilience in Pakistan, Mongolia, and PRC
This proposal outlines a regional project focusing on enhancing climate resilience and agricultural productivity in Pakistan, Mongolia, and the People's Republic of China (PRC). The project aims to increase access to credit for smallholder farmers, promote climate-smart agriculture technologies, and support sustainable practices to mitigate climate change impacts. By fostering shared climate benefits and adaptation resilience, this initiative aligns with regional climate goals and addresses common challenges faced by farmers.

Project Name and Geographic Focus Project Name Regional Project on Enhancing Climate Resilience & Agricultural Productivity through Financial Integration Access and Technological Presented by Dr. Mazhar Hayat (Pakistan) Proposed by Pakistan, with Mongolia and PRC INTERNAL. This information is accessible to ADB Management and staff. It may be shared outside ADB with appropriate permission.
Project Description Project Location / Geographic Focus Regional focus under the CAREC framework, involving Pakistan, Mongolia, and the People's Republic of China (PRC). Project Main Features Increase access to credit for smallholder farmers to adopt climate-smart agriculture technologies and purchase necessary inputs. Restructure existing financial tools to incentivize crop diversification, improved water productivity, and enhanced land management. Facilitate access to available climate-resilient technologies, equipment, and crops through capacity building and support mechanisms. INTERNAL.

Project Name and Geographic Focus Project Name Enhancing Health Resilience to Heatwaves through Integrated Climate Adaptation Strategies Presented by Dr. Mazhar Hayat (Pakistan) Proposed by Pakistan, with Mongolia and PRC INTERNAL. This information is accessible to ADB Management and staff. It may be shared outside ADB with appropriate permission.
Project Description Project Location / Geographic Focus Regional focus under the CAREC framework, involving Pakistan, Mongolia, and the People's Republic of China (PRC). Project Main Features Develop and implement early warning systems and heat action plans to mitigate the impacts of heatwaves on vulnerable populations. Strengthen healthcare infrastructure and services to address heat-related illnesses and improve community resilience. Promote public awareness and education on heatwave preparedness and adaptive behaviors. INTERNAL. This information is accessible to ADB Management and staff. It may be shared outside ADB with appropriate permission.
Why is it important as a CAREC project? A. Shared Climate Benefits: The project addresses the common challenge of heatwaves, which are increasingly frequent and severe due to climate change, affecting multiple CAREC countries. Benefits are regional, providing a unified approach to managing heatwave risks and enhancing public health resilience. B. Adaptation Resilience: Improves the capacity of healthcare systems and communities to respond to and recover from heatwaves, reducing heat-related mortality and morbidity. C. Mitigation Potential: Promotes sustainable urban planning and green infrastructure to reduce urban heat islands and improve overall climate resilience. INTERNAL. This information is accessible to ADB Management and staff. It may be shared outside ADB with appropriate permission.
