Source: The World Bank

27 January 2009 | EN

This 'toolkit', published by the World Bank, provides policy advice on how to integrate climate change adaptation strategies into development programs.

It gives an overview of climate change impacts in developing countries and identifies the main channels through which development programs can cost-effectively adapt to climate change and reduce greenhouse gases. The authors identify individual development policies and suggest ways of incorporating mitigation and adaptation measures. They also provide lists of desirable climate outcomes alongside the specific policies needed, by type and sector, to achieve them.
