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.abstractThis Country Climate and Development Report (CCDR) proposes that Benin focuses on building a resilient economy, with investment and policy options primarily targeted at adapting to climate change risks. The dependence of Benin’s economic structure on agriculture and informal employment makes its development path highly vulnerable to climate change in the absence of proper adaptation. The government and the private sector need to be better prepared to deal with climate change – building adequate institutions and governance structures will be crucial. While all sectors will have to become more resilient, this is especially urgent for agriculture and land use, urban and network infrastructure, and human development (education, health). Mitigation efforts should focus on avoiding carbon lock-ins and reducing deforestation. Investing in renewable energy whilst expanding the population’s access to electricity should be a priority for Benin. A higher share of renewable energy can bring about co-benefits for other sectors (agriculture, water, transport, and forestry). To maintain its growth trajectory, Benin needs to pay special attention to its most vulnerable people, including women. To protect the poor and vulnerable the just transition should focus on reconciling development and climate goals while addressing inequality (income and gender related), and spatial exclusion.en
dc.description.abstractLe présent Rapport sur le climat et le développement (CCDR) propose que le Bénin se concentre sur l’édification d’une économie résiliente, en adoptant des options d’investissement et de politique principalement axées sur l’adaptation aux risques liés au changement climatique. En l’absence de mesures d’adaptation adéquates, la dépendance de la structure de l’économie du Bénin à l’égard de l’agriculture et de l’emploi informel rend sa trajectoire de développement hautement vulnérable au changement climatique. Le Gouvernement et le secteur privé doivent être mieux préparés à y faire face. À cet effet, la mise en place d’institutions et de structures de gouvernance adéquates sera cruciale. Certes, tous les secteurs devront devenir plus résilients, mais cette résilience est particulièrement pressante pour les secteurs de l’agriculture, de l’utilisation des terres, des infrastructures urbaines et de réseau, ainsi que du développement humain (éducation et santé). Les efforts d’atténuation devraient éviter la dépendance excessive à l’égard du carbone et se focaliser sur la réduction de la déforestation. Investir dans les énergies renouvelables tout en élargissant l’accès de la population à l’électricité devrait constituer une priorité pour le Bénin. Une part plus importante d’énergies renouvelables peut générer des co-avantages pour d’autres secteurs, notamment ceux de l’agriculture, de l’eau, du transport et de la foresterie. Pour maintenir sa trajectoire de croissance, le Bénin doit accorder une attention particulière aux personnes les plus vulnérables, notamment les femmes. Et, pour protéger les pauvres et les personnes vulnérables, la transition juste devrait s’attacher à concilier les objectifs de développement et les objectifs climatiques tout en s’attaquant aux inégalités en termes de revenus et les disparités sexospécifiques et à l’exclusion spatiale.fr
