Resumen
Descripción
This report, "Water Security and
Climate Change: Insights from Country Climate and
Development Reports," examines the crucial role of
water in addressing climate change, drawing insights from
the World Bank's Country Climate and Development
Reports (CCDRs). The report highlights the significant
impacts of climate change on water resources, including
increased droughts, floods, and sea level rise, that
threaten agricultural production, human health, and economic
growth. It emphasizes the importance of water sector actions
for both climate mitigation and adaptation, including
investments in water infrastructure, demand-side management,
and nature-based solutions. The report also addresses the
challenges of financing water sector investments, the need
for private sector participation, and the importance of
strong governance and policy frameworks. Finally, it
provides recommendations for future CCDRs, including the
need for more comprehensive assessments of investment needs,
improved modeling approaches, and a stronger focus on the
water-jobs nexus and transboundary water management.
