Natural calamities in Asia, Pacific threat to infra: ADB
Asia and Pacific countries, including India, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh, need to thwart challenges posed by natural calamities that have been taking toll on their infrastructure, ADB has said.
They will have to find solution in greener infrastructure to restrict global mean temperature rise, it said.
Shattered rail links, fractured roads, broken power lines and ruined water wells are the “distressing facts of life” for many communities in Asia and Pacific, despite countries in the region investing higher than ever on infrastructure, ADB said in an article.
