Project Detail
RG-T1910 : Regional Institutional Capacity Building in Climate Change
Project Description
According to the World Development Report 2010 from the World Bank, as a result of the impacts of climate change (CC), developing countries bear most of the damage costs, which involve about 75% to 80%. According to the report, a warming of 2 degrees Celsius can result in significant reductions in annual per capita income in developing countries. Adequately address climate change, then, is one of the biggest public policy challenges facing the region. The answer, that is urgent now more than ever, requires new knowledge and approaches, which must necessarily be multidisciplinary and cross-sectiorial and comprehensively address the impacts on populations, pollution of water sources, deforestation, the increasing levels of urbanization and poverty and the effects of natural disasters. The answer depends on a deep understanding of the relationship between climate change and economic development, social and environmental, as well as the existence of conditions, economic, social and institutional, so that the necessary policies may be put into execution. This KCP aims to support countries in the region to generate, to obtain, to share and to disseminate that knowledge.
