About Climate Adaptation and Resilience for South Asia (CARE) Project

The Project will build resilience to climate threats and disasters by sharing regional data and knowledge.
It will help in developing regional standards and guidelines for infrastructure, and promoting climate resilient policies and investments.
The project will help develop a public platform to inform climate planning and investments, and fund technology to support resilience in South Asia.
It will fund a public domain platform known as Regional Resilience Data and Analytics Service, with information about weather hazards, climate variability, and sector-specific data to help policymakers assess climate risks.
It will also assess climate impacts in districts across Bangladesh, Nepal, and Pakistan to support agriculture, livestock, water, and transport.
The $39.5 million CARE project includes a $36 million grant from the International Development Association and $3.5 million from the Program for Asia Resilience to Climate Change.
CARE will work with two regional organizations, the Regional Integrated Multi-Hazard Early Warning System for Africa and Asia (RIMES) and the Asian Disaster Preparedness Center (ADPC).
