Comments Submitted On-line (due to their length, these have been typed out separately) First Name Jorge Daniel Last Name Taillant Title: President Organization: Center For Human Rights and Environment (CEDHA), Argentina 1. What should the World Bank Group’s role on climate change be within the international development community? The World Bank Group must, through a collaborative effort of its various agencies (IBRD, IDA, IFC, MIGA) should promote a development and rights-based approach to Climate Change policy*, emphasizing the need to promote Mitigation and Adaptation policies, programs, and financing for developing countries, and particularly for climate vulnerable States and communities. The SFCCD should, in tandem with the activities and financing schemes promoted by States, and by other global agencies of the United Nations focused on Climate Change, and through agreements made under the UNFCCC, assist developing countries (particularly climate vulnerable countries) to: • Develop the necessary analytical tools to obtain a comprehensive understanding of the impacts of climate change to developing countries (particularly to climate vulnerable countries) and regions (we can call these Climate Impact Assessment tools); • Identify key opportunities in developing countries to promote investments in renewable energy, and advance towards energy security (we can call these Mitigation Opportunity Assessment tools); • Bring together States, actors, and other relevant parties from industrialized and developing countries that have a mutual interest in promoting mitigation and adaptation activities; • Encourage, mobilize and secure global financing needs, in line with and in collaboration with agreements made under UNFCCC negotiations, for mitigation and adaptation activities; • Provide information and examples for developing countries of best practice in emissions reductions, mitigation and adaptation; Additionally, the WBG can help develop criteria for identifying standards for establishing which are “climate vulnerable countries”, the relevant indicators that should be considered under such a category, trends that would place countries in such a category or at risk of becoming climate vulnerable, and the appropriate institutional and technical tools to collect information about climate vulnerability and monitor its evolution. . IDA and IBRD should be especially focused on Adaptation needs and opportunities, while IFC and MIGA should be especially focused on promoting Mitigation opportunities, although any such division of agendas, should be conducted in collaboration and in tandem with the greater SFCCD.

231

The SFCCD should be streamlined to work in tandem with, (and when dealing with an identified climate vulnerable country) should be an integral part of the Country Assistance Strategy for that country. Furthermore, The WBG should create tracking and evaluation mechanisms for the effectiveness of the strategic framework on climate change in project management decisions. The WBG, in all of its agencies, should also evaluate it’s own climate impact, as well as that of the projects, programs, activities etc. that it finances, with a view to measure and minimize over time, the impacts of its activities and projects. The World Resources Institute found that 84 percent of World Bank Group energy sector lending for the period 2000-2004 did not consider climate change impacts, including greenhouse gas emissions accounting, identification of lower emission alternatives, climate specific indicators or outcomes, or consideration of incremental cost and financing issues. (Source: “Power Failure: How the World Bank is Mailing to Adequately Finance Renewable Energy for Development” de Friends of Herat. See: http://www.foe.co.uk) It would also be useful, if the WBG thinks more strategically about its lending portfolio, particularly that of the IFC (but also IBRD), preferring projects that have a lower climate impact, phasing out projects in carbon intensive sectors, promoting projects that favor the use of renewable energies, projects that are energy self sufficient, and generally favoring climate friendly investments, over one that are not. The WBG group should promote participatory engagement, consultation and full transparency and access to justice, of its SFCCD with all vested stakeholders, and make a special effort to include stakeholders from Climate Vulnerable States and communities. The WBG should actively engage the participation and seek the financial contribution of industrialized countries, especially some of the more highly contaminating countries, to contribute to Mitigation and Adaptation opportunities and investments. This should be done, not through the hiring of consulting groups of such countries to work in climate vulnerable countries, but rather through the hiring of local consultants from climate vulnerable countries so as to build the in-house capacity to assess vulnerabilities, define local climate policy, and develop local programs to address mitigation and adaptation needs. The WBG should be careful not to replace, dominate or create an alternative to, the ongoing efforts of other UN agencies and States, particularly under the UNFCCC, but rather act in collaboration with, and as a technical and financial supplement to, and facilitator of the greater evolving global climate strategy. *The trends we are seeing as a result of climate change directly impact climate vulnerable States and communities capacity to realize their human rights, and development needs. We can draw some clear relationship between climate change and its related human rights impacts, such as: • Falling crop yield: Right to Food • Coastal disasters: Right to Housing and Property

232

• Increasing disease: Right to Health, Right to Life • Flooding: Right to Housing, Development, Healthy Environment, etc. • Economic disasters: Right to Development, Right to Life • Deforestation: Right of Indigenous Peoples, Right to culture, Right to Development • Displacement (Climate Refugees): Right to Right to Culture, Right to Food, etc. • Rising financial costs: Right to Development (of nations) Using human rights and development objective targets in the climate change debate helps bring the discussion more urgently to vulnerable groups, and particularly turn attention toward the Adaptation agenda for Climate Change. Climate change human rights impacts are not something that will occur, but rather they are already occurring, and severe human victims of climate change already exist, making the predicament of human populations of climate change of the uttermost importance to treat today. On the issue of development objectives, the UN has already devoted time and resources to looking at the impacts of climate change, for example, on the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), identifying the risks poised by climate change to each of the MDGs. A brief example of some of the thinking on the Climate Change/MDG relationship (goal vs. risk): • MDG 1: Poverty and hunger; (reduced livelihood assets) • MDG 2: Primary Education; (deteriorated infrastructure and displacement) • MDG 3: Gender Equity; (burden on women due to crisis) • MDG 4: Child Mortality; (extreme weather events impacting children) • MDG 7: Environmental Sustainability (alternations in ecosystems)[<br>] 2. The Concept and Issues Paper states that both mitigation and adaptation must be integrated into development efforts. Where do you see the key areas of focus for the World Bank Group? Mitigation and Adaptation should be the central focus of the SFCCD. The WBG’s priority on these two pillars should be to: • Build effective tools to assess climate vulnerability in climate vulnerable regions, States and communities; • Build a public statistical database and information resources so that climate vulnerable States, communities and relevant actors can be informed about climate vulnerabilities and impacts; • Identify best practice in Mitigation and Adaptation experiences • Assist in the linking of available investments resources in industrialized countries with mitigation and adaptation needs of developing States and communities; The WBG should give particular attention to promoting energy security in climate vulnerable States, through the promotion of investments and the low cost (or no cost) transfer in renewable energy technology.

233

The SFCCD should be an integral part of WBG’s lending portfolio in climate vulnerable States, and should be particularly prominent portion of any IDA States that are also considered Climate Vulnerable States. The WBG should be particularly active in the promotion of programs and lending that promote: • The protection and sustainable use of key water resources; • More rational planning in the use of soil, lands, etc. • Agricultural planning and more sustainable agricultural land use; • Forestry conservation, protection and certified lumbering where appropriate; • Conservation of biodiversity and wildlife; • The incorporation of a human rights approach to climate policy, always considering the social impacts of climate change in adaptation and mitigation policies; • Targeted policies to prepare for, avoid and address the impacts of climate-related disasters for vulnerable communities, including building better infrastructure to prepare for climate disasters, and have emergency systems in place as well as coordinate relief when disasters occur. The WBG group should be especially careful not to promote diverging policy, portfolio lending and programs, through its various agencies, such as supporting loans that promote further negative impacts to the global climate and to the environment, which would be contrary to the SFCCD, such as the promotion of overextended monocrop cultivation (soy) or projects that involve deforestation (such as occurred in Brazil through IFC financing of soy plantation at the expense of newly razed Amazonian forest). The WBG should provide guidance, best and worst practice, and sustainability analysis to the production of sustainable alternative fuel options, with particular sensitivity to the negative impacts the production of bio-fuels has had on global food prices, as well as the advancement of the use of agricultural lands for bio-fuel production, including the relative impact this tendency has had on the global carbon footprint caused by this trend. The WBG carefully ensure throughout it’s lending operations, and particularly in its climate related lending, that proper channels of access to redress (effective remedies) are available to victims of World Bank projects or projects supported by the World Bank (such as through IFC or MIGA), as well as that the appropriate redress mechanisms, like the Compliance Advisory Ombudsman of the IFC and MIGA, and the World Bank Inspection Panel are specifically attune to and sensitive to the types of problems communities might face in terms of climate vulnerability. 3. What role can the World Bank Group play to accelerate the development and deployment at scale of climate friendly technologies for energy, transport, agriculture and other sectors in developing countries? The role of the WBG in promoting sustainable and an efficient distribution of mitigation policies and financing is critical. The WBG should focus on:

234

• Taking stock of global energy use, identifying climate efficient and climate inefficient models; • Analyzing, collecting and disseminating best practice in energy production and use as well as in sustainable agriculture planning; • Drafting policy papers and disseminating information on investment opportunities, and creative climate friendly solutions to existing energy needs and parallel agricultural models; • Taking stock of available resources, financing and technology and human resources available to utilize in promoting mitigation activities both in terms of energy production and agricultural planning and policy; • Engaging technology-rich States, private sector energy actors, and States needing or that could benefit from energy investments and transforming energy towards renewables, to seek out workable partnerships; • Facilitating the investment environment for such partnerships; • Ensure that the most climate vulnerable States and communities have prioritized access to energy programs and opportunities, and have the necessary financial underpinning to tackle their mitigation needs and capitalize on mitigation opportunities; • Provide free advisory assistance to most needy countries on mitigation and adaptation activity; • Build the in-house capacity of such countries to develop, implement, and monitor mitigation programs. The WBG should ensure that it’s mitigation strategy and eventual projects or activities that are financed, are properly integrated with other lending activities, and work in harmony with appropriate strategic development frameworks (such as CAS), so that all energy sector and agriculture lending, and other lending that may have an impact on climate vulnerability, is in harmony with the SFCCD, so as not to generate conflicting targets, strategies, or other unwanted climate impacts of WBG programs. The WBG should always ensure to properly assess climate impact vulnerability and impacts to affected human populations of energy and agricultural projects, lending, etc. The WBG should ensure not to promote inflexible regulatory frameworks for private sector investments, especially through its IFC lending portfolio. Oftentimes private sector investments lock in regulatory frameworks for investments over the life of the project, when with evolving information about the impacts of climate change, regulatory frameworks, particularly of high carbon emissions and climate sensitive sectors, need flexible regulatory policy to adopt to a changing environment an knowledge about the climate problems. The WBG should consider the full phaseout over the medium and long term, of lending to carbon intensive and non-renewable energy sectors. Fossil fuel project investment at the Bank outnumber renewable energy investments by nearly 15 to 1. From 1992 to 2004, the World Bank Group financed an estimated $28 billion in fossil fuel projects, including extraction, power plants, and sector reforms – averaging about $2 billion each year. The estimated lifetime carbon emissions resulting from these projects is 43.4 billion tons,

235

almost half of which have been or will be produced as a result of extractive industry projects aimed at exporting oil to the global marketplace. In 2006, only 4% of the WBG’s financing destined to the energy sector was in renewable energy, and that more than 82% of financing for petroleum extraction went to projects that export petroleum to industrialized countries. More appropriate assessments are necessary on the impacts of fossil fuel investments, particularly from a climate vulnerability perspective. (see: http://www.brettonwoodsproject.org/art-545884) The WBG should completely phase out over the medium and long term, of lending to large hydropower infrastructure investment, which is causing large devastation to critical parts of the planet’s global natural environment, and are the source of a large portion of greenhouse gas emissions primarily methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2). Dams financed by the WBG are often located in some of the most sensitive and rich biodiversity environmental areas. In 2005, 60% of the Bank’s supposed support for renewable energy and energy efficiency was for five large hydro projects. The WBG group should further study the impacts of Nuclear Energy, in terms of greenhouse gas emissions, particularly the emissions from upstream activity for the nuclear energy sector, such as mining, uranium enrichment, radioactive storage, fuel production, and plant closure, and compare these with investments in renewable energies. Other issues which must be factored in to the nuclear energy sector, particularly when considering these for developing countries, are security, human resource capacity, capacity to handle waste, and infrastructure capacity. 4. What should be the role of the World Bank Group in mobilizing additional concessional financing and private sector investments to respond to climate change? The World Bank Group should play a subsidiary, and complimentary role to efforts currently underway through States negotiations under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). The WBG’s role should in now way hinder this process, compete with it with its own funds, or work in parallel to it, but rather, it should form an integral part, helping negotiations move forward as effectively as possible and assisting the most climate vulnerable and needy States, with financial assistance, and related technical skills, capacity building, and information, where appropriate. The WBG should be above all, a facilitator and help identify key opportunities in advancing global commitments to reversing climate change. The WBG should be particularly sensitive to international recognition, and should adopt its policy accordingly, as well as exert it’s influence on industrialized countries and polluter States so that they recognize that: 1) the majority of the human contribution towards global warming has come from industrialised countries and that these countries have not only differentiated responsibilities (higher responsibilities) but also greater technology, capacity and financial ability to reverse such trends;

236

2) Industrialized countries should not only work to reduce their own emissions and establish collective agreements to do so as a global society, but should also actively engage to ensure the free, subsidized or low-cost transfer of technology to developing countries, along with the necessary free or low-cost financial assistance; 3) Developing countries’ historical role in global warming has been negligible, that their need for social/economic/industrial development remains high, and that they are entitled to assistance to adaptation assistance to confront the impacts of climate change in their societies. The WBG needs to immediately revisit its Climate Investment Funds (CIFs), which presently work against the central principles and objectives of the UNFCCC process largely due to that: • CIFs are provided on a loan (plus interest) basis and not on a grant basis; • CIFs are offered parallel to multilateral UNFCC initiative generating confusion and competition; • CIFs are less democratic, are constructed only on WBG knowledge and knowhow, and are not constructed with the full foundation of information and global harmony provided for through the UNFCCC process; • CIFs emission targets and other commitments by the recipient country occur outside the UNFCCC framework, lending to confusing, competing and non-globally consensus objectives established under the multilateral agreements; • Certain countries (such as the UK) can utilize the CIFs to leverage influence, in parallel to, and in detriment to globally agreed targets, policies, etc, undermining the spirit and goal of the evolution of global policy. The WBG should ensure, permanent consultation, and open engagement from actors involved in climate negotiations, and particularly from target recipient countries and particularly from climate vulnerable communities and States. The consultations to date have seemed rushed, limited in scope, with apparently limited engagement with climate vulnerable States. The WBG should ensure that financing for the SFCCD and the CIFs in particularly do not compete with, replace, or work to diminish in any way, funds targeted for Overseas Development Assistance (ODA), or to funds stipulated for achieving the MDGs. The WBG should strive so that money is not diverted from the 0.7% annual target for industrialized States, as this would be severely detrimental to the progress in other areas of development. Climate change is its own, distinct, and separate, global issue, which industrialized countries and the international finance institutions must address in a separated financial context. The WBG should ensure that climate change, and climate considerations should be integrated in all of its lending practices, for all sectors, which includes calculating carbon emissions of all lending and programs, and ensuring that the WBG overall is steering towards a more climate friendly and low-carbon emissions portfolio. The role of the IFC in particularly in steering the greater private banking community, particularly banks that adhere to the Equator Principles, should not be understressed. The

237

IFC and the WBG generally should encourage and actively engage private financial institutions, but also, Export Credit Agencies, and other multilateral banks in identifying where they can leverage climate friendly policies, how they can achieve a low carbon investment and pro-climate lending portfolio, and have in place, the necessary tools and practices to ensure they are moving towards a more climate friendly financial portfolio. 5. Building capacity within countries, regions and institutions will be crucial to address climate change issues. How can the World Bank Group contribute? The WBG should be working to identify governance gaps in terms of the ability of countries (particularly climate vulnerable countries) to: • identify climate vulnerability; • collect climate data in terms of climate trends and impacts to communities, individuals, and the various economic sectors (agriculture, housing, biodiversity, flora, fauna, tourism, etc.); • develop appropriate climate policies; • develop appropriate regulatory systems to ensure adequate climate attention; • monitor and regulate climate sensitive (high carbon emission) industrial sectors; • attract and establish international partnerships towards mitigation and adaptation; • promote appropriate investment frameworks in renewables; • respond to adaptation needs; and • develop appropriate policy instruments to promote an effective climate mitigation and adaptation policies. The WBG should work closely with established priorities under the UNFCCC framework. The WBG should be especially careful no to push for domestic policy revisions, laws, or other regulatory instruments that could work in detriment to the internationally evolving framework under the UNFCC. The WBG, especially IBRD and IDA, can play an especially important role in developing further attention to adaptation needs, identifying victims, climate vulnerable groups, developing climate impact assessment tools for vulnerable communities and States, developing emergency response systems (to floods, draughts, hurricanes, etc.), drawing attention to climate vulnerable groups and the rising risks to certain groups from an ever-changing climate. This responsibility also entails encouraging and engaging industrialized countries, UN agencies and developing country States to further prioritize the climate adaptation agenda. This strategy should be constructed taking on a human rights based approach to development and climate change impacts. 6. Other issues?

First Name: Bill Last Name Smith Title: Organization: Former Bank Staff (Retired) 1. What should the World Bank Group’s role on climate change be within the international development community? I was informed on July 9 that the deadline for comments was now extended to July 7. Up until then I was unaware of a deadline. You have my earlier comment of June 30 in which I argued that the indirect effects of a warmer world are by no means certain to occur. The most unlikely effect is higher sea levels caused by melting of landed ice in the Antarctic Glaciers on the Antarctic Peninsular, where temperatures have risen 2 °C in the past 50 years, are moving and dropping landed ice in the ocean. According to the British Antarctic Survey this might have a long term effect of a few centimeters. Another moving glacier in a much colder region is Pine Island; this appears to be due to underlying volcanic activity. The rest of the continent, except for a few relatively small strips of of land where the January temperature sometime moves above zero, is so cold all year round that it would take a huge warming trend (far more than IPCC predicts) to cause any melting. In other words I think the SFCCD might want to go easy on sea level rise (especially Table A1:1.). Should it not be a Framework for not a Framework on. 2.

First Name Elizabeth Last Name Stuart Title: Head of Relations with World Bank and IMF Organization: Oxfam International 1. What should the World Bank Group’s role on climate change be within the international development community? The Bank should seek to play a role in aligning adaptation and resilience with broader development objectives and plans. Most important, the Bank should lead by adopting and promoting adaptation strategies that are community-oriented, addressing the needs and interests of both women and men, focus on poverty reduction and livelihoods, and address issues of inequality within countries. By adopting and promoting pro-poor adaptation approaches in its programs in this way, the Bank can play a role in aligning climate adaptation with development more broadly. • The Bank should act in ways that are fully supportive and respectful of the progress and completion of the UNFCCC process, and the primacy of the UNFCCC as the institution that has the mandate for designing the most effective approach to managing international adaptation finance. The Bank can helpfully provide appropriate research concerning the implications of negotiations concerning developing country interests, particularly focused on the disproportionate impacts of climate change and the needs of developing countries to address impacts. However, the Bank should avoid engaging in ways that are out of alignment with the interests of the full range of developing countries; in particular, references to the Bank’s role in trade negotiations are not helpful. • However, the World Bank must be neutral in its advocacy concerning the institutions and venues that should be the source and delivery mechanisms for international climate finance. The Bank has a potential conflict of interest regarding what institutions and venues are the ones that provide climate finance and must scrupulously avoid engaging in policy debates on these questions in any fashion (e.g. UNFCCC decisions regarding implementation and delivery of finance, carbon markets and trading, etc.). Most important, the Bank should accept the paramount role of funding mechanisms that are agreed in the UNFCCC negotiations, such as the Adaptation Fund. In addition, the Bank must ensure that funds such as the Climate Investment Funds will in fact no longer be operational once there is a post-2012 international climate agreement. In addition, the Bank should not seek to play a role in “consolidating” climate finance. Rather, the UNFCCC negotiating process should be the central venue for setting the parameters and broad structures for international climate finance. • The Bank should play a leading advocacy role to ensure that climate-related financing to developing countries is additional to the 0.7% of GNI promised at the G8 Gleneagles summit in 2005. It should clearly indicate in public communications that climate change financing must not come from either existing aid budgets or promised increases in aid budgets. The Bank also should proactively demonstrate that its additional resources for climate change spending are not coming from other development flows or reducing the

241

overall spend – particularly in the case of adaptation. Finally, the Bank should undertake active advocacy efforts to help donors, the OECD DAC and other relevant institutions make “additionality” in climate-related financial flows to developing countries a reality as soon as possible. • The Bank should explicitly ensure that the inclusion of climate in PRSPs, or other national development strategies, does not add to the burden of conditionality. Conditions should be limited to mutually agreed, poverty-based outcome indicators, or fiduciary commitments. 2. The Concept and Issues Paper states that both mitigation and adaptation must be integrated into development efforts. Where do you see the key areas of focus for the World Bank Group? • The Bank has a clear role to play in supporting developing countries in aligning adaptation with their broad development strategies. As noted above, the Bank should focus on adopting and promoting adaptation strategies that are community-oriented, designed to meet both women’s and men’s needs and interests; focus on poverty reduction and livelihoods, and address issues of inequality within countries. Meanwhile, it is vital that alignment of adaptation with development strategies does not imply that the additional burden of climate adaptation can simply be integrated into existing development programs and finance. Rather, new and additional finance must be provided to meet climate adaptation needs. • As part of a gender-sensitive, pro-poor and pro-community approach, the Bank should focus its efforts on ensuring engagement and participation by local communities in the development and implementation of adaptation strategies. In addition, the Bank should emphasize the use of indigenous knowledge and the sharing of that knowledge across communities. • The Bank should also require that any of its funds or financing mechanisms – including for both adaptation and mitigation finance – involve substantial and meaningful consultation with stakeholders, including civil society and local communities. For example, the CIF should incorporate a process for ongoing consultation over the lifetime of the funds. Similarly, any carbon market or trading facilities should include a process for robust consultation. • Moreover, the Bank should develop an accountability mechanism to address any concerns raised by communities affected by the implementation of adaptation projects and programs financed by the Bank. • If much of the finance for climate adaptation comes from the private sector, then it will often naturally flow to macro-actors in the cash economy, such as for infrastructure and commercial agriculture. Such financing will likely not easily reach subsistence farmers or be invested in essential non-market goods and services such as household food, water, fuel and care, which are predominantly provided by women. As a result, the Bank should

242

lead in ensuring that adaptation strategies in general are in fact pro-poor, gender-sensitive and focus on marginal populations. The Bank can help ensure that private sector efforts in particular are channeled as much as possible to meet the needs of local communities, and where this is not possible, that adequate public funding is invested to ensure community-based adaptation takes place. • The World Bank should lead the way in reducing greenhouse gas emissions. To do so, the Bank must address the continuing significant greenhouse gas emissions resulting from its finance portfolio. In particular, the World Bank Group should do a full accounting of the direct and indirect emissions resulting from its finance portfolio and make fully public and transparent the outcomes of that accounting for each specific project and funding program (including sectoral finance). The World Bank Group should also set clear targets and timetables for reducing the direct and indirect emissions resulting from its finance portfolio. 3. What role can the World Bank Group play to accelerate the development and deployment at scale of climate friendly technologies for energy, transport, agriculture and other sectors in developing countries? • The World Bank should lead in ensuring that climate friendly technologies are clearly oriented toward poverty reduction and help ensure a reduction in economic inequality within countries. To ensure that climate friendly technologies directly benefit – and are undertaken with the full engagement and participation of – local communities, the Bank should prioritize commercial deployment of low-carbon technologies that are most appropriate for community-level energy, transport and agriculture needs in rural areas. • The Bank should carefully review the types of climate friendly technologies it finances – such as clean energy technologies – in order to promote options that will both maximize reductions in poverty and economic inequality and slow the growth in greenhouse gas emissions. The Bank should ensure that approaches such as hydropower are conducted in a way that is fully sensitive to social concerns and impacts on local communities. In the case of hydropower in particular, such projects should only be conducted according to the World Commission on Dams guidelines. • The Bank needs to considerably step up the pace of increasing its financing for renewable energy projects and programs. As WWF has recently reported, the increase in the Bank’s financing of renewable energy projects has been very sluggish. In particular, IBRD/IDA finance for renewables other than major dams needs to be considerably increased. 4. What should be the role of the World Bank Group in mobilizing additional concessional financing and private sector investments to respond to climate change? • The Bank should conduct detailed research into the feasibility and scale of innovative financing mechanisms to finance adaptation and mitigation (including technology transfer). This is particularly necessary if the Bank is serious about promoting the Bali

243

Action Plan since it is clear – from the lack of funding for the LDC Fund – that voluntarism is not working and that alternative forms of finance are necessary. We would also emphasize, nonetheless, that the Bank should strictly avoid any engagement on issues involving the appropriate institutions or venues for climate finance. • Adaptation finance must be grants that meet the full costs of adaptation, and not loans or other forms of concessional finance. • The Bank should ensure that resource transfers from developed countries to developing countries for climate change activities are measurable, reportable and verifiable (MRV). The Bank should provide capacity building to developing countries to help ensure that this is the case. The World Bank must ensure that it develops monitoring indicators for MRV which will be compatible with reporting guidelines once they are established under the UNFCCC. 5. Building capacity within countries, regions and institutions will be crucial to address climate change issues. How can the World Bank Group contribute? • The World Bank should act in a supportive, capacity-building role in helping countries and regions to develop national and/or regional adaptation and resilience plans and strategies. However, the Bank should also clearly avoid taking on any role in the development of adaptation strategies other than one that is purely supportive. That is, the Bank should seek only to assist – and not to direct or lead – these processes and any national or regional coordinating efforts, which are appropriately led by government, elected officials, and civil society at the country level. In particular, in situations where national or regional adaptation trust funds are being developed, the Bank must make sure not to direct or lead these processes, which are appropriately driven through country ownership. • As noted above, the Bank should emphasize the use and sharing of indigenous knowledge and community initiatives for adaptation. In addition, the Bank should support the exchange of adaptation information among communities and the development of local institutions that can facilitate effective adaptation strategies. 6.
