AB <p>The impacts of climate change in the Asia-Pacific
region threaten to undo hard-won gains in
sustainable development that countries have made
in recent decades. Poor and vulnerable people, who
contribute little to global carbon emissions, are
affected the most by climate change and are the
least equipped to cope and adapt. The 2024 ESCAP-
ADB-UNDP SDG Partnership Report provides an
analysis of interlinked challenges of climate
change, poverty and hunger as well as solutions
from the region related to food systems, jobs and
social protection.</p>
<p>Climate change poses major challenges to the
environment, economic growth and human
development in the Asia-Pacific region and
beyond. Floods, droughts and cyclones are common
in the region and impact poor communities
especially. While awareness of these climate
impacts is increasing, a sound understanding of
their destructive impact on food security and
poverty alleviation is still lacking. Climate change
is certainly not the sole cause of poverty and
hunger, but it is adversely impacting these critical
areas and associated Sustainable Development
Goals (SDGs).</p>
<p>People’s ability to find productive and decent work
can be key for alleviating poverty and hunger.
Climate mitigation and adaptation actions are
creating new jobs and economic activities.
However, raising the quality of these jobs is
necessary for them to be a catalyst to achieve SDG
1 (No Poverty) and SDG 2 (Zero Hunger). This
policy brief focusses on the impacts of climate
change on poor and vulnerable populations
particularly in terms of jobs and livelihoods. It
further delves into solutions for decent work and
just transition with examples from the Asia-Pacific
region.</p>
