Yemen country climate and development report

The Yemen Country Climate and Development Report (CCDR) adopts a scenario-based approach to navigate these uncertainties, offering three distinct pathways: "Peace and Prosperity," "Status Quo," and "Escalation and Intensification". Each scenario reflects varying levels of fragility and capacity for climate action, enabling a nuanced understanding of how climate impacts and political dynamics may evolve. In doing so, the CCDR underscores the importance of adaptive strategies that can respond to shifting circumstances and prioritize targeted interventions while remaining agile to the changing landscape.

Recommendations based on five Higher Level Objectives include: Developing spatially targeted, scalable and people centered area-based approaches to build resilience and reduce multidimensional poverty; Improving water and food security and build a resilient fisheries sector amid uncertainty; Promoting disaster risk management and climate-resilient power service provision centered around renewable energy; Fostering adaptive human development by advancing health and human capital, prioritizing women and vulnerable groups; Scaling up innovative climate finance and empower the private sector through people centered approaches.
