dc.description	The 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.
dc.description.abstract	Paraguay, an upper middle‑income country (UMIC), is blessed with abundant natural resources. This reliance on natural resources makes Paraguay vulnerable to weather‑related shocks, including those stemming from climate change. Extreme weather events such as droughts and floods are regular occurrences in Paraguay. While the country is accustomed to experiencing such events, climate change is projected to increase the frequency and severity of these shocks, potentially reducing crop yields, increase transportation costs, and disrupting energy production. Climate change is also expected to result in higher temperatures in Paraguay, potentially having negative effects on health, learning, and worker productivity. Increasing resilience to climate shocks is therefore key to ensure climate change does not hamper Paraguay’s socioeconomic progress. Opportunities and challenges for decarbonizing Paraguayan economy are different from the ones faced by most countries. The Country Climate and Development Report (CCDR) explores opportunities and challenges that climate change poses to Paraguay’s development. The report examines how Paraguay can build better resilience to climate shocks. It also examines how Paraguay can benefit from decarbonization by leveraging its hydropower sector and transforming its forestry, agriculture, and transport sectors. Finally, it discusses how the government can prioritize and finance investments for climate change adaptation and mitigation and leverage more action toward these objectives from the private sector.	en
