| dc.description | The 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.description | The Country Climate and Development Report (CCDR) for Yemen uses a scenario-based approach to navigate the complex nexus of development, conflict, and climate change. Three pathways are presented: "Peace and Prosperity," "Status Quo," and "Escalation and Intensification", each reflecting different levels of fragility and capacity for climate action. This framework underscores the importance of adaptive strategies that can respond to changing circumstances, prioritize targeted interventions, and foster a resilient and sustainable future for Yemen, with the analysis focusing on three major pillars: (i) Catchment to coast, addressing water and food security and the blue economy; (ii) Disaster risk management and resilient infrastructure , covering urban areas, transport, and the power sector; and (iii) Adaptive human development, examining human capital, health systems, and gender and inclusion. Recommendations are framed around five Higher Level Objectives: (i) Develop spatially targeted, scalable and people centered area-based approaches to build resilience and reduce multidimensional poverty; (ii) Improve water and food security and build a resilient fisheries sector amid uncertainty; (iii) Promote disaster risk management and climate-resilient power service provision centered around renewable energy; (iv) Foster adaptive human development by advancing health and human capital, prioritizing women and vulnerable groups; and, (v) Scale up innovative climate finance and empowering the private sector through people centered approaches. | |
