It examines why climate action is essential, quantifies costs of inaction, and assesses uneven government preparedness. The report then evaluates low-carbon transition strategies, adaptation measures, and their economic impacts, including vulnerabilities in water, agriculture, cities, and transport. It also addresses protecting the poor through a just transition and outlines financing and governance approaches to implement three transitions.","Pub lic Disclosure Authorized Pub lic Disclosure Authorized Pub lic Disclosure Authorized Pub lic Disclosure Authorized  \nAFRICA REGION  \nSOUTH AFRICA  \nWorld Bank Group  \nOCTOBER 2022  \n© 2022 The World Bank Group 1818 H Street NW, Washington, DC 20433 Telephone: 202-473-1000; [Internet: www.worldbank.org](Internet: www.worldbank.org)  \nThis work is a product of the staff of The World Bank Group with external contributions. “The World Bank Group” refers to the legally separate organizations of the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD), the International Development Association (IDA), the International Finance Corporation (IFC), and the Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency (MIGA) .  \nThe World Bank Group does not guarantee the accuracy, reliability or completeness of the content included in this work, or the conclusions or judgments described herein, and accepts no responsibility or liability for any omissions or errors (including, without limitation, typographical errors and technical errors) in the content whatsoever or for reliance thereon.
