ADAPTATION CLIMATE CHANGE CLIMATE RISKS GLOBAL SECTOR STUDIES World Bank Economics of Adaptation to Climate Change : Synthesis Report |
| description |
To address these objectives, the study
was conducted on two parallel tracks: (1) a global tracka
top-down approach, in which national databases were used to
generate aggregate estimates at a global scale, drawing on a
wide variety of sector studies; and (2) a country level
track: a bottom-up approach, in whichsub-national
data were aggregated to generate estimates at economywide,
sectoral, and local levels. This Synthesis Report integrates
and summarizes the key findings of a global study report and
seven country case study reports covering Bangladesh,
Bolivia, Ethiopia, Ghana, Mozambique, Samoa, and
Vietnam(Figure ES-1). By providing information on
lessons learned and insights gained on adaptation to climate
change from global, country, and sector-level
analyses,the hope is to help policymakers
worldwide prioritize actions, along with developing a
robust, integrated approach for greater resilience to
climate risks. The Report begins with the concepts and
methodology used for analyses in both the global and the
country case studies, including a discussion of study
limitations. This is followed by a synthesis of key results
from the global and country tracks and a conclusion with
lessons learned. |
