Climate change is intensifying hydrological variability, coastal storms, and heatwaves, and these effects are anticipated to intensify as global temperatures continue to rise in the coming decades. The impacts of climate change will be felt hardest in EMDEs, which are structurally the most vulnerable to climate change. These climate trends are also combining with economic and population growth to drive unprecedented impacts on nature, including biodiversity, ecosystems, and the services they provide.en-USCC BY-NC 3.0 IGOCLIMATE ACTIONCLIMATE ADAPTATIONPRIVATE SECTOR PARTICIPATIONEMERGING AND DEVELOPING ECONOMIES (EMDES)ReportWorld Bank
