The Development, Climate, and Nature Crisis

https://www.worldbank.org/en/topic/climatechange/publication/the-development-climate-and-nature-crisis The world is facing a triple crisis—in development, climate, and nature— and climate action is off track. Poor governance, limited access to finance, and political economy barriers are slowing down progress. Countries are not reducing emissions or building resilience fast enough, which is putting development achievements at risk. But beyond these grim headlines, there are increasingly clear opportunities to achieve development and climate double wins and there is a better understanding of the challenges that can turn these opportunities into trade-offs. That’s what the World Bank’s Country Climate and Development Reports (CCDRs) intend to capture: identifying opportunities for each country and priorities for investments and reforms.
