New study: “assessment of World Bank Group’s experience in climate adaptation”

Article Type: News From: International Journal of Climate Change Strategies and Management, Volume 5, Issue 2

The Independent Evaluation Group recently released a new assessment of the World Bank Group’s experience in climate adaptation. This evaluation draws lessons from World Bank Group experience with adaptation to both current levels of climate variability and ongoing climate change. It reviews the impact of longer-standing efforts to deal with climate variability, for instance via drought relief, sustainable land management, and flood control. The evaluation also looks at how, and how well, the World Bank Group has incorporated climate change risks into the design and appraisal of long-lived infrastructure. It assesses early lessons from a new crop of activities that explicitly grapple with climate adaptation at the national level.
