This study describes the areas of focus of operations for the Pacific Department of the Asian Development Bank (ADB), identifies key gaps between country and ADB actions, as well as opportunities for scaling up ADB's assistance related to mitigation, adaptation, and associated crosscutting needs. The Climate Change Implementation Plan will evolve through periodic updates to effectively guide ongoing and future programs, technical assistance, and project designs.
