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.The World Bank Group’s Country Climate and Development Reports (CCDRs) are a core diagnostic that integrates climate change and development.

First, it summarizes CCDR findings on the impacts of climate change on people and explores how putting people at the core of climate-development policies enhances their effectiveness and generates larger benefits. Next, it explores how people’s vulnerability and ability to transition toward resilient, low-emission development depend on key infrastructure systems, the energy, water, transport, and digital sectors, and highlights the potential benefits of green value chains and green minerals. Finally, it summarizes key conclusions on macroeconomic impacts, with a focus on the diversity of impacts across countries and the large investment needs, especially in lower-income countries. These findings confirm that, even with optimistic adaptation outcomes, large residual risks make GHG emission reductions urgent. The CCDRs illustrate how low- and middle-income countries (LICs and MICs) can contribute to this global objective without compromising on development progress and poverty reduction, with well-designed policies and enhanced support from higher-income countries.en-USCC BY-NC-ND 3.0 IGOReportWorld Bank10.1596/42395
