Using cited indices and IPCC-related scenarios, the letter projects rising temperature and rainfall variability, with substantial GDP and poverty impacts by 2050 unless climate adaptation investments accelerate. It summarizes key policy foundations under Niger’s NDC and Paris framework, and highlights priority resilience areas spanning institutions, financing, energy, landscapes, and cities.","Public Disclosure Authorized Public Disclosure Authorized  \nWORLD BANK ASSESSMENT LETTER FOR THE RESILIENCE AND SUSTAINABILTY FACILITY FOR NIGER  \n21 June 2023  \n1. Country vulnerability to climate change including human, social and economic costs  \nNiger and the other countries in the Sahel are among the world’s most vulnerable to climate change while having some of the highest poverty rates. Sustaining economic growth to reduce poverty is already a challenge in the Sahel with growth volatile and subject to multiple shocks, notably political instability, insecurity, as well as climatic shocks. The University of Notre Dame Global Adaptation Initiative Index ranks Niger 176th out of 182 countries (countries are ranked from 1 (lower risk) to 182 (higher risk) . Niger is assessed as very high risk) . with respect to the country’s vulnerability to climate change in combination with its readiness to improve resilience. Floods, droughts, and other natural disasters are increasing in intensity and frequency. In 2020, severe flooding affected over 632,000 people and caused losses of around 2 percent of GDP.1 In 2021, poor rainfall devastated cereal production in large parts of the country.  \nLarge economic output losses are expected from climate change, with losses increasing over time.  \nAccording to the IPCC, most climate scenarios show that temperatures in the Sahel, including Niger, will rise by at least 2°C in the near term (2021 to 2040) while rainfall variability will increase. In a warmer climate the frequency and intensity of heavy precipitation events and pluvial flooding are becoming more common. The G5 Sahel Country Climate and Development Report (CCDR)2 estimates that by 2050 annual GDP in Niger would be reduced by 2.2 percent under the wet and optimistic climate scenarios and 11.9 percent under the dry and pessimistic climate scenarios by 20503 if urgent investments in climate adaptation are not taken. The negative impacts come from lower labor productivity due to heat stress, lower rainfed crop and livestock yields, damages to roads and bridges and damages from inland flooding. Large annual variability in the shocks to rainfed crop and livestock yields pose additional challenges for the agriculture sector and food security. By 2050 there could be an increase in the poverty rate of Niger from 30.4 percent projected under the baseline scenario (no climate change) to 32.1 percent under the wet and optimistic scenarios and to 39 percent under the dry and climate pessimistic scenarios, which translates to an additional 5.23 million people falling into poverty. Inequality will increase and climate change will have a heterogeneous spatial effect in the Sahel with higher poverty impacts in rural areas, including in some of the most vulnerable border communities in Chad, Niger, and Mali.  \nTo accelerate resilient growth in the context of climate change, the G5 Sahel CCDR identifies measures, policies, and investments in five priority areas: (i) Institutions (including disaster risk management); (ii) Climate Financing and Risk Mitigation; (iii) Energy (including the opportunity to develop in a low-carbon pathway by making the most of the region’s large renewable energy potential); (iv) Landscapes (integrated  \n1 Niger Country Economic Memorandum, World Bank, 2022.  \n2 G5 Sahel Country Climate and Development Report (CCDR), World Bank, September 2022:  \n[https://openknowledge.worldbank.org/handle/10986/37620](https://openknowledge.worldbank.org/handle/10986/37620)  \nThe World Bank Group’s CCDRs are new analytical reports from the World Bank Group analyzing the linkages between growth, development, and climate change. CCDRs build on data and rigorous research and identify main pathways to reduce GHG emissions and climate vulnerabilities, including the costs and challenges as well as benefits and opportunities from doing so. The reports suggest concrete, priority actions to support the low-carbon, resilient transition.  \n3 These est","cbCais2SuQ55tVHI","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCais2SuQ55tVHI","pdf",276420,1,5,"English","en",105,"# Climate change impacts on Niger\n## Expected economic and poverty effects\n# Government policies and adaptation commitments\n## NDC alignment and priority sectors\n## Measurement, reporting, and verification","[{\"question\":\"Why is Niger considered highly vulnerable to climate change in the assessment?\",\"answer\":\"The assessment states that Niger and Sahel countries face very high climate risk alongside some of the world’s highest poverty rates.
