The framework was organized around six action areas: 1) supporting climate actions in country-led development processes; 2) mobilizing additional concessional and innovative finance; 3) facilitating the development of market-based financing mechanisms; 4) leveraging private sector resources; 5) supporting accelerated development and deployment of new technologies; and 6) stepping up policy research, knowledge, and capacity building. Climate change is one of the multiple stressors that affect the environment and impact on income and welfare. Further, its impact is worsened by other environmental damages. Looking ahead, strategies to combat climate change have to account for the continued need for rapid growth in developing countries. In this context, the World Bank is now looking at climate change in a holistic manner, bringing together climate change efforts with work on growth and broader management of natural resources and pollution. The WBG has successfully worked with clients and partners to mainstream climate considerations into the WBG's core business and strategies to reach impact on the ground. Yet this remains a make-or-break decade for climate action despite escalating levels of engagement within and outside the WBG.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS TO INSURANCEACTION ON CLIMATE CHANGEACTIONS ON ADAPTATIONADAPTATION BENEFITSADAPTATION FINANCINGADAPTATION FUNDADAPTATION INVESTMENTSADAPTATION NEEDSADAPTATION PLANSADAPTATION PROGRAMADAPTATION STRATEGIESADAPTATION TO CLIMATEAGRICULTURAL INSURANCEAGRICULTURAL PRODUCTIONAIRAPPROACH TO CLIMATE CHANGECALCULATIONCAP AND TRADE SYSTEMSCAPACITY BUILDINGCAPACITY CONSTRAINTSCAPACITY-BUILDINGCAPITAL MARKETSCARBON CAPTURECARBON CREDITSCARBON EMISSIONSCARBON FINANCECARBON FOOTPRINTCARBON MARKETCARBON MARKETSCARBON SEQUESTRATIONCATASTROPHE RISKCLEAN DEVELOPMENT MECHANISMCLEAN ENERGYCLEAN TECHNOLOGIESCLEAN TECHNOLOGYCLIMATECLIMATE ACTIONCLIMATE ADAPTATIONCLIMATE CHANGECLIMATE CHANGE ADAPTATIONCLIMATE CHANGE FUNDCLIMATE CHANGE IMPACTSCLIMATE CHANGE INITIATIVESCLIMATE CHANGE MITIGATIONCLIMATE CHANGE SCENARIOSCLIMATE CHANGE STRATEGIESCLIMATE DATACLIMATE EXTREMESCLIMATE IMPACTCLIMATE IMPACTSCLIMATE INFORMATIONCLIMATE INITIATIVECLIMATE INVESTMENTCLIMATE MITIGATIONCLIMATE OUTCOMESCLIMATE OUTSIDECLIMATE POLICYCLIMATE RESILIENCECLIMATE RISKCLIMATE RISK INSURANCECLIMATE RISK MANAGEMENTCLIMATE RISK SCREENINGCLIMATE RISKSCLIMATE VARIABILITYCLIMATIC VARIABILITYCOCO2COALCOMBAT CLIMATE CHANGECOMPOSTINGCONSEQUENCES OF CLIMATE CHANGECOPE WITH CLIMATE CHANGECPIDAMAGESDECISION MAKINGDEGRADED LANDSDEVELOPED COUNTRIESDISASTER PREVENTIONDISASTER REDUCTIONDISASTER RISKDISASTER RISK MANAGEMENTDISASTER RISK REDUCTIONECONOMIC GROWTHECONOMICSECONOMICS OF ADAPTATION TO CLIMATE CHANGEECOSYSTEMELECTRICITYELECTRICITY CONSUMPTIONEMISSIONEMISSION PATHWAYSEMISSION REDUCTIONEMISSION REDUCTION OBLIGATIONSEMISSION REDUCTIONSEMISSIONSEMISSIONS FROM DEFORESTATIONEMISSIONS INTENSITYEMISSIONS REDUCTIONENERGY EFFICIENCYENERGY MIXENERGY PORTFOLIOENERGY PRODUCTIONENERGY SUBSIDIESENVIRONMENTALENVIRONMENTSFINANCIAL FLOWSFINANCIAL INNOVATIONFINANCIAL INSTITUTIONSFINANCIAL MARKETSFINANCIAL MECHANISMSFORESTFOREST CARBONFOREST CARBON STOCKFOREST CARBON STOCKSFOREST DEGRADATIONFOREST INVESTMENTFORESTRYFORESTRY SECTORFORESTSFRAMEWORK CONVENTION ON CLIMATE CHANGEFUTURE CLIMATE CHANGEGHGGLOBAL CARBON MARKETGLOBAL CLIMATEGLOBAL ENVIRONMENT FACILITYGLOBAL FACILITY FOR DISASTER REDUCTIONGLOBAL TEMPERATURESGREENHOUSEGREENHOUSE GASGREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONSGROWTH IN DEMANDHCFCHYDROCHLOROFLUOROCARBONIMPACTS OF CLIMATE CHANGEINCOMEINNOVATIVE FINANCINGINSURANCE MARKETSIPCCIRREVERSIBLE CLIMATE CHANGEJOBSLAND MANAGEMENTLAND USELAND-USE CHANGELONG-TERM ADAPTATIONLOW-CARBONMARGINAL ABATEMENTMARGINAL ABATEMENT COSTMARKET INSTRUMENTSMETHANEMETHANE GASMITIGATION ACTIONSMITIGATION EFFORTSMONETARY FUNDNATIONAL ACCOUNTSNATIONAL ADAPTATIONNATIONAL CLIMATENATIONAL CLIMATE CHANGENATIONAL INCOMENATIONALLY APPROPRIATE MITIGATION ACTIONSNATURAL CAPITALNATURAL DISASTERSNATURAL GASNATURAL RESOURCESOCEANSPOLICY MAKERSPOLLUTIONPORTFOLIOREDUCING EMISSIONSREGIONAL CLIMATEREGIONAL CLIMATE CHANGERENEWABLE ENERGYRESILIENCE TO CLIMATE CHANGERURAL COMMUNITIESSOIL CARBONSOLAR POWERSTREAMSSUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENTSUSTAINABLE MANAGEMENTUNEPUNINTENDED CONSEQUENCESWASTE MANAGEMENTWINDOW OF OPPORTUNITYWorld Bank10.1596/13222
