AWDO – The Index of for Asia and the Pacific – finds that more than 60% of Asia and the Pacific’s population has been lifted from extreme water insecurity over the past 12 years, but these hard-won gains are threatened by accelerating environmental decline and a major financing gap.
Asian Development Bank (ADB)’s report was launched today, 8 December, at the open plenary at the IWA Water and Development Congress in Thailand.
GWP contributed to the report, alongside University of Oxford, International Water Management Institute (IWMI), The University of Queensland, the International Center for Water Hazards and Risk Management, the International WaterCentre, Griffith University, and the IHE Delft Institute for Water Education.
Specifically, GWP was lead author of the analysis of and in Asia-Pacific, as well as deeper dives in five countries: Bangladesh, Cambodia, Nepal, Pakistan, and Tajikistan.
By linking AWDO insights with .5.1 results and the water intelligence of its network across the region, GWP is reinforcing the case for scaling up investments in water governance and resilience. Stronger implementation not only enhances security but also lays the foundation for sustainable and climate-resilient economies.
