Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation in Development Programs

On the 8 January 2009, the World Bank has released a guide on “Policy and Institutional Reforms to Support Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation in Development Programs.”

The report is in 3 modules:

The first module looks at the main climate impacts that can be expected in developing countries.

The second module identifies relevant transmission channels through which development programs could have an effect on GHG emissions and on the impacts of impending climate change on individuals.

The third module describes the measures being introduced to reduce GHGs and to adapt to climate change in developing coutries.

Worth a read if you are interested in climate change policy issues (especially developing nations).
