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.

New ADB Grant to Strengthen Urban Resilience and Disaster Preparedness in Vanuatu:
ADB has approved a $12.6 million grant—the third financing for the Greater Port Vila Urban Resilience Project—to help further improve urban resilience and disaster preparedness in Vanuatu’s economic center, the Greater Port Vila area. The financing is funded through the Asian Development Fund, and is complemented by a $5.6 million grant from the Green Climate Fund through the Community Resilience Partnership Program Investment Fund, and an in-kind contribution of $700,000 from the Government of Vanuatu. The grants will support the construction of three new multipurpose emergency shelters in the communities of Agathis, Freshwind, and Nambatri, designed to provide safe and resilient facilities for vulnerable populations during disasters, and to function as community gathering spaces and markets during normal periods. By 2031, the project is expected to have directly benefited at least 23,400 people, including 11,700 women, through improved access to resilient urban assets and services.
