| description |
The Middle East and North Africa (MENA)
region is no stranger to extreme temperatures. It is
predicted that these extremes will worsen in the coming
decades. Compounded by changing precipitation patterns,
water insecurity and projected sea level rise, the region is
set to experience significant challenges to its development,
particularly in agriculture, livelihoods and food security.
Recognizing that climate change poses an acute threat to its
mission, the World Bank Group has made strong commitments to
tackle the climate challenge and to work with countries to
meet their climate goals. With the adoption of a Climate
Change Action Plan, the Bank has laid out concrete actions
which is covered in this brief, for how it intends to scale
up climate action, integrate climate change across its
operations, and work more closely with others, through
collective action and partnerships, to implement new and
innovative solutions. |
