dc.descriptionThe World Bank Group’s Country Climate and Development Reports (CCDRs) are a core diagnostic that integrates climate change and development. They help countries prioritize the most impactful actions that can reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and boost adaptation and resilience, while delivering on broader development goals. CCDRs build on data and rigorous research and identify main pathways to reduce GHG emissions and climate vulnerabilities, including the costs and challenges as well as benefits and opportunities from doing so. The reports suggest concrete, priority actions to support the low-carbon, resilient transition. As public documents, CCDRs aim to inform governments, citizens, the private sector and development partners and enable engagements with the development and climate agenda. CCDRs feed into other core Bank Group diagnostics, country engagements and operations, and help attract funding and direct financing for high-impact climate action.en

dc.description.abstractThe Country Climate and Development Report assesses how Poland can reap the benefits of faster decarbonization while reducing its vulnerability to climate shocks. Accelerating decarbonization is in Poland’s economic interest. Achieving net zero emissions by 2050 will add an average 0.2 percent of GDP a year, leading to a cumulative 4 percent gain by 2050. At the same time, the reduction in air pollution brought about by decarbonization can lead to additional gains in terms of labor productivity and avoided mortality. A comprehensive transformation of the energy system is crucial to achieving net zero emissions by 2050. This will entail removing barriers to renewable penetration, strengthening Poland’s transmission and distribution grid, using natural gas uniquely as transition technology, scaling up electricity trade, and repurposing current coal subsidies to mitigation of social end economic impacts in affected, vulnerable communities. Decarbonizing energy supply is also critical to cut the private sector’s carbon emissions to maintain competitiveness as global low-carbon efforts accelerate. Increasing carbon sinks and limiting emissions in the agricultural sector and are vital for Poland’s green transition. Polish forests store 10% of all EU forest carbon and more than a decade of the country’s emissions. But their sink role has been declining. Rehabilitating forestry sinks will require improved forestry management and expansion of forest areas through the conversion of marginal, underutilized and low-productivity agricultural land. Resilience investments will be needed to lessen the impact of climate shocks. Despite its relatively favorable geography, Poland is not immune from increased temperatures and more severe and frequent floods and droughts. In the absence of adaptation investments, impacts on infrastructure, agriculture and labor productivity could lead to GDP losses of 1.2% by 2050. Relatively modest resilience investments (equivalent to 0.1% of GDP) in sectors including agriculture, water, forestry and transport over the next 25 years can reduce the economic costs of climate shocks almost fully by 2050, and by half a decade earlier. For Poland, achieving prosperity in changing climate is affordable and within reach. But with the set of key policies and investments requiring implementation between 2025 and 2035, clear policy direction and effective implementation in the short term will be crucial to achieve the country’s decarbonization and resilience objectives by mid century.
