Climate shocks are disrupting livelihoods and economies in Asia and the Pacific. A much-needed transition to low-carbon development can also exert unintended socioeconomic costs. A deeper understanding of how climate change, climate action and macroeconomic outcomes interact is essential for long-term economic stability and development in the region. The 2025 edition of the Economic and Social Survey of Asia and the Pacific examines this nexus and conducts a new macroeconomic-climate readiness assessment.
The Survey, published annually since 1947, is a flagship publication produced by the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP). It provides analyses to guide policy discussion on the current and emerging socio-economic issues and policy challenges to support sustainable development in Asia and the Pacific.
