| description |
Economic growth and shared prosperity in
Sub-Saharan Africa will be increasingly undermined if
vulnerabilities to climate change are not addressed. Climate
impacts, which are already being felt will escalate
significantly, as early as 2030, causing many low-capacity
countries to be even more vulnerable. Given the climate
sensitivities of multiple engines of growth, agriculture,
natural capital, and infrastructure, the urgency for
countries to ramp up climate-smart development at scale and
across the growth spectrum is an imperative. The Next
Generation Africa Climate Business Plan provides a platform
to further galvanize climate action by prioritizing its
focus on the region’s core development challenges and
priorities. The plan is grounded in the World Bank’s
commitment to support climate-resilient and low carbon
development across the developing world and its solid
engagement in technical and financial assistance to support
climate action in Africa. |
