Description

Climate-related disasters have inflicted more and more high losses on developing countries, and with climate change, these losses are prone to worsen. Bettering country resilience against climate risks is subsequently essential for achieving poverty reduction and economic development goals.

This report discusses the current state of knowledge on easy methods to build climate resilience in developing countries. It argues that climate-resilient development requires moving beyond the climate-proofing of existing development pathways, to believe economic development objectives and resilience priorities in parallel. Achieving this will likely require political vision and a clear working out of the relation between climate and development, in addition to an adapted institutional set-up, financing arrangements, and progress monitoring and evaluation. The report also discusses two priorities for climate-resilient development: disaster risk management and the involvement of the private sector.

The report builds on a growing volume of country experiences on building climate resilience into national development planning. Two country case studies, Ethiopia and Colombia, are discussed in detail.
