Project Period: 2024.9.6 ~ 2026.1.31
Through the project, RainbirdGEO aims to enhance the capacity of selected developing member countries (DMCs) to understand gender-specific heat stress impacts and develop equitable heat adaptation strategies. Implemented by the Asian Development Bank (ADB), the project focuses on increasing knowledge, providing technical expertise, and facilitating knowledge transfer. Key objectives include developing heat risk awareness, identifying vulnerabilities, and introducing satellite-based mobile early warning systems.
RainbirdGEO conducts diagnostics and capacity needs assessments and designs a prototype heat wave early warning system tailored for women in Cambodia. Additionally, they provide capacity-building programs, including field testing, to empower Cambodian women to respond to climate change and extreme heat waves. This project aims to strengthen gender resilience to heatwaves in Cambodia by providing strategies, lessons learned, and policy recommendations for utilizing the mobile-based heat wave early warning system, striving to expand the sustainable system. Subsequently, we plan to extend the mobile-based early warning system not only in Cambodia but also in other Pacific countries.
