It develops an organizing framework linking climate actions to welfare outcomes, then characterizes climatic hazards and exposure, emphasizing that poor households face disproportionate flood and storm risks. The note reviews preparedness and coping measures and documents observed and potential impacts on welfare, including disaster-related deaths, distress, and poverty-increasing damage and losses.","Public Disclosure Authorized Public Disclosure Authorized  \nFast Tracking poverty reduction and prosperity for all Dominican Republic Poverty Assessment 2023  \nBackground Note on Poverty and Climate Change  \nCentral America and the Dominican Republic Country Management Unit Latin America and the Caribbean Region  \nApril 2023  \n© [2023] International Bank for Reconstruction and Development / The World Bank  \n1818 H Street NW Washington DC 20433 Telephone: 202-473-1000  \n[Internet: www.worldbank.org](Internet: www.worldbank.org)  \nThis work is a product of the staff of The World Bank with external contributions.
