The 4th “Country Climate and Development Report” summary is out, covering 93 economies, with a focus on jobs. This report is unique in that it is based on dozens of individual-country reports, each prepared (and reviewed) individually.

Thanks to renewable power expansion, fuel-importing countries saved more than $1.3tn between 2010 and 2023 that would otherwise have been spent on fossil fuels from overseas. Important contribution from @iea.org to current debates!

Une terrible nouvelle! Personnellement il me semble que ça va contre le “sens de l’Histoire”. Encore plus personnellement je vais amèrement regretter cette ligne dans mes transits réguliers entre l’Ukraine et la France (en train c’est top) Ouf: Reste le train de nuit Vienne-Bruxelles

How do we estimate climate change macroeconomic risks in The World Bank's Country Climate and Development Reports? We just published a methodological paper that presents a methodology used in many of them, with our partners at Industrial Economics (IEc). documents1.worldbank.org/curated/en/0...

Renewable energy offers an opportunity to bring electricity to people who are hard to reach with fossil fuels, and to create jobs and reduce poverty. It is also chance to boost resilience to natural disasters and climate change. Blog post on our M300 initiative: blogs.worldbank.org/en/climatech...

“Raising to the Challenge”: Our new World Bank report on adaptation and resilience highlights the needs for action, with 1.2b people living at high risk from climate hazards, without basic tools to manage risks. But it also shows progress, and good practices waiting to be replicated!

The World Bank introduced the Country Climate and Development Reports (CCDRs) in 2022. After 3 yrs, a third summary combines findings from 58 CCDRs covering 72 countries. This summary focuses on the climate impacts on people, and their role in climate policies. www.worldbank.org/en/topic/cli...
