Climate change has caused direct losses due to the damage in infrastructure, disruption in services and affected supply chains in Asia  and will increase risk to infrastructure as well as provide opportunities to invest in climate-resilient infrastructure and green jobs . At higher warming, key infrastructures, such as power lines, transport by roads and railways, and built infrastructures, such as airports and harbours, are more exposed to climate-induced extreme events, especially in coastal cities . Evidence on urban adaptation across Asia is growing with examples of infrastructural adaptation , institutional adaptation , nature ecosystem-based solutions , technological solutions  and behavioural adaptation . However, adaptation actions tend to be in the initial stages and more reactive (57% of urban adaptations focus on preparatory interventions, such as capacity building, and 43% of cities
