Abstract
The 2013 Fifth Assessment Report of
the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC AR5)
advised that warming of the climate system is unequivocal
and said that since the 1950s many of the observed changes
are unprecedented over decades to millennia. Climate change
is one of the greatest challenges of our time it affects
every country and yet progress in mainstreaming climate
change into the policy-making process is patchy. Some
countries political leaderships have put in place
high-profile climate change mitigation and adaptation plans,
with broad participation across government agencies and
nongovernmental stakeholders, and with their central finance
and planning agencies assuming a key role. In many other
countries, however, climate change issues remain the
preserve of specialist environmental agencies and there is
no framework or mechanism by which climate change issues are
systematically taken into account in national planning. This
Climate Change Public Expenditure and Institutional Review
Sourcebook (CCPEIR) seeks to provide practitioners with the
tools and information needed to respond to the public
expenditure policy and management challenges arising from
climate change. It is a series of notes and supporting
materials written to consolidate current research and
international experience, to identify emerging practice, and
to provide practical and applicable guidance for staff of
central finance agencies, development agencies,
environmental agencies, and international organizations
working on climate change issues.
