Asia-Pacific is large, diverse and growing fast. It contains more than half of humanity, and 30 per cent of the global land mass. It has made great progress in reducing poverty. Yet, with two-thirds of the world&rsquo;s poor, this region faces vulnerabilities on all fronts. In particular, it has many of the world&rsquo;s most climate-exposed territories. Climate change also threatens further progress in poverty reduction and hard-won human development gains could be unsustainable.
