4. 4 Adaptation Challenges Over Time Will Depend on Mitigation Progress Likely change already “baked in” Likely change with successful mitigation action Likely change without significant action on mitigation Risk of catastrophic events increases with temperature

5. 5 Potential Impact on Agriculture — Projected Percentage Change in Agricultural Productivity in 2080 Note: Scenario: SRES A2. Source: Cline 2007.

6. 6 Sources of GHG are cross-sectoral and most significant from energy and land use change

7. 7 Regional Impacts Africa Food security and risk associated with agricultural production Lack of access to safe water and increased water stress Low adaptive capacity and high vulnerability to climate variability and natural disasters such as droughts and floods Negative health impacts, especially increased risk of malaria Sea-level rise and its impact on low-lying coastal areas *Source: Concept Paper Annex 1

8. 8 Regional Impacts East Asia and Pacific Decreased freshwater availability Endemic morbidity and mortality due to diarrhoeal disease associated with floods and droughts Degradation of marine and coastal ecosystems by sea- level rise and temperature increases Sea-level rise potential results in displacement of millions of people Damage to aquaculture industry by sea water intrusion Increased threats to the ecological stability of wetlands, mangroves and coral reefs *Source: Concept Paper Annex 1

9. 9 Regional Impacts Europe and Central Asia Increased climate-related hazards including prolonged droughts, more frequent storms and floods, and fire risk Coastal Floods and erosion due to sea-level rise Increased health risks due to more frequent heatwaves, flooding and greater exposure to vector- and food-borne diseases High water stress Decline of forest productivity *Source: Concept Paper Annex 1

10. 10 Regional Impacts Latin America and the Caribbean Decreased water availability in many water scarce regions and impact on high mountain ecosystems Reduction in agricultural productivity Distortion of the functioning of ecosystems, including coral reefs, wetlands and mangrove, and forests Large-scale displacement of populations due to increased extreme events and sea-level rise Health impacts e.g., heat stress mortality and greater exposure to vector-borne diseases *Source: Concept Paper Annex 1

11. 11 Regional Impacts Middle East and North Africa Increased occurrence of droughts and water scarcity Greater fluctuation of agricultural yields, especially in rain-fed areas Worsening of public health due to heat waves, decreasing water and air quality, and ground ozone formation Sea-level rise and its impacts on agricultural, low-lying coastal areas and wetlands *Source: Concept Paper Annex 1

12. 12 Regional Impacts South Asia Increased intensity and frequency of storm surges, cyclones, floods and droughts Negative impact on agricultural yields particularly in arid zones and flood-affected areas Decrease in river flows in the Himalayan countries, unreliable supplies of fresh water and the need for management of shared transboundary systems Sea-level rise and its impact on coastal livelihood through flood, damage to groundwater aquifers, loss of wetlands and ecosystems Lack of scientific information on the consequences of Himalayan snow melt and associated risks and climate change impact on biodiversity and ecosystems *Source: Concept Paper Annex 1

13. 13 Climate Change is not new for the World Bank 1993 – Began implementing / leveraging GEF funding for climate change 1999 – Pioneered Carbon Finance through $180 million Prototype Carbon Fund 1999 – ”Fuel for Thought” Environment Strategy for the Energy Sector 2001 – Adopted Environment Strategy with climate change pillar 2006-08 – Clean Energy Investment Framework (CEIF): (i) increased access to energy, especially in Sub-Saharan Africa; (ii) accelerated transition to a low carbon energy economy; and (iii) adaptation to climate variability and change. 2007 – IDA and Climate Change Paper

14. 14 Recent progress in climate change Share of support for low-carbon energy projects up from 28% in FY03–05 to 40% in Fy06-08, with an overall increase in energy lending from $6 billion to $11 billion –GEF and Carbon Finance (CF) contributed US$546 million, or 13 %, with significant leveraging RE and EE lending exceeded Bonn commitment 1.5 years ahead of schedule CF business grown to $2 billion, with two new facilities - CPF and FCPF- approved in September 2007 Low carbon growth and adaptation studies Pilot program to begin measuring GHG emissions of the WBG lending portfolio is underway. Strengthened partnership with MDBs

15. 15 Access and Low Carbon Energy Providing Energy Services for A Better Quality of Life. Worldwide, nearly 2.4 billion people use traditional biomass fuels—wood, agricultural residues, and dung—for cooking and heating Nearly 1.6 billion do not have access to electricity. Four out of five people without access to electricity live in rural areas Without access to modern and sustainable energy services, poor people are deprived of opportunities for economic development and improved living standards.

16. 16 GEF and WBG Synergies GEF grant funding to pilot innovative approaches and capacity building for mitigation GEF funding is necessary to proceed with adaptation mainstreaming in development and to build knowledge base –GEF Trust Fund Strategic Priority on Adaptation $50 million (committed) –Voluntary Funds: Special Climate Change Fund ($90 million) & Least Developed Countries Fund ($180 million) Adaptation Fund (GEF-administered): $500- 800 mlln by 2012 GEF helped leverage progress with WBG low carbon investments

17. 17 Key message: Scaling up! Huge financing gap for developing countries, much beyond current funding under UNFCCC –mitigation: up to US$ 100 blln per year by 2030 –adaptation: up to US$ 30-70 blln per year 2030 –private sector to account for 80% at least of financial and investment flows The challenges ahead in mobilizing financing at scale Massive technology, capacity and knowledge needs

18. 18 How we will develop a comprehensive Strategic Framework on Climate Change and Development (SFCCD) Neutrality to UNFCCC Negotiations Flexibility to accommodate new developments Working with Multiple Partners Inclusive and Consultative Process

19. 19 Neutrality to UNFCCC Negotiations –Neutral to any party position –Helping countries understand the impacts Piloting innovative instruments and approaches that help inform the development of a future regime (e.g. IDA15 as a platform for mainstreaming adaptation, Carbon Finance, Climate Investment Funds) –Advocacy and capacity building

20. 20 Flexibility to Accommodate New Developments The Strategic Framework will evolve as international negotiations and scientific knowledge and experience on the ground evolve It will pilot and test new approaches and benefit from learning and on-going consultations with various stakeholders

21. 21 Working With Multiple Partners UN agencies, UNFCCC Secretariat, Global Environment Facility (GEF) –A common UN-system approach to Climate Change –Building blocks: mitigation, adaptation, technology, finance Multilateral Development Banks –Have worked closely on Clean Energy Investment Framework Bi-lateral donors Initiatives by countries, sub-national (city) governments, private sector, Non-Governmental Organizations Scaling up World Bank Group engagement based on its specific comparative advantages

22. 22 Sources of GHG Emissions in Developing Countries World Bank lending is in sectors with largest opportunities for both adaptation and mitigation

23. 23 … similar situation in IFC & MIGA portfolios IFC investment by Sector ($ mln), FY07MIGA Guarantees by Sector ($ mln), FY07

24. 24 SFCCD is about development in the context of climate change Priority of growth, poverty reduction and MDGs Importance of meeting energy needs of developing countries Development imperative of helping to adapt to climate risks Resource mobilization in addition to the current ODA levels Climate change: Role of the WBG
