Governments, banks, and investors have invested nearly $100 billion across Asia over the last five years to strengthen disaster resilience and climate adaptation efforts. Most of the funding has gone into water management and infrastructure projects, including drainage systems, elevated roads, and flood-control measures.
The report found that over 90% of the investments between 2021 and 2025 came from state-backed institutions and development finance groups. Private investors are now showing increasing interest in climate adaptation projects, especially in sectors like clean energy mini-grids and industrial retrofitting that offer long-term growth opportunities.
