dc.descriptionThe World Bank Group’s Country Climate and Development Reports (CCDRs) are a core diagnostic that integrates climate change and development. 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.
dc.descriptionBotswana stands at a critical juncture where climate action and sustainable development must be pursued together to secure long-term prosperity and resilience. Until relatively recently, Botswana was hailed as an economic growth success story, buttressed by low levels of corruption, solid institutions, and sound natural resource wealth management. Using mineral revenues to invest in infrastructure, human capital, social welfare, and strengthening “institutions of private property,” Botswana avoided the worst effects of the “resource curse” and attained rapid development gains, a remarkable achievement considering its challenging initial conditions and unfavorable geography.
