Reorienting DFIs to play a stronger role in job creation
Summary
The policy brief asserts that climate change threatens current and future developmental gains, necessitating that all economic endeavors and job creation initiatives be designed to be low-carbon and climate-resilient to avoid increasing the vulnerability of the poor and locking the economy into a perverse pathway.
Key insights
- Climate change impacts threaten both existing and future developmental gains, while global efforts to lower carbon emissions by trade partners create economic exposure.
- To prevent increased vulnerability for residents, especially the poor, and to avoid a perverse economic pathway, all economic activities must be designed for climate resilience and be as low-carbon as possible.
