Climate Action for All - Financial Mobilization Plan

Although children in East Asia and the Pacific are bearing the brunt of climate impacts, we can considerably reduce the risk that children face through climate-smart social services, which reduces vulnerability and increases coping capacity of children and their communities. Climate-
smart social services are those that are designed to reduce emissions, as well as increase their resilience to climate shocks – so that children can keep their access to the education, health, water and sanitation, nutrition and protection services that they need, and that will be required
for maximizing their future potential. Moreover, because the region is a key hub for growth and innovation, investors and private sector partners have unique opportunities to respond, whether by spearheading the acceleration of climate-smart social services, products, and frontier technologies, or by financing and supporting the actions that lead to sustainable solutions.

Investing in climate-smart social services can have broader social and economic benefits. It can facilitate a country’s transition to the green economy and create the right enabling environment to  stimulate employment, while at the same time reduce strains on the natural environment.
