    Timor-Leste Adaptive Social Protection Assessment (2023)
    Washington, D.C : The World Bank

    Language: English
    Pages: 1 Online-Ressource
    Series Statement: Other Social Protection Study
    Keywords: Adaptive Social Protection ; Climate Risk ; Data and Information ; Finance ; Social Protections and Assistance ; Social Protections and Labor
    Abstract: This report seeks to support the GoTL in its efforts to build an Adaptive Social Protection (ASP) system. It aims at enhancing knowledge and understanding of ASP and assessing the country's current capacity to provide agile responses to shocks and building resilience. The ASP assessment follows the framework by Bowen and others (2020) which outlined four building blocks essential for effective ASP: i) Institutional arrangements and partnerships; ii) Program design and delivery systems; iii) Data and information systems; and iv) Finance. A 'traffic light' scorecard is used to summarize the status of each building block and identify specific recommendations to strengthen that specific area. The assessment categorizes the overall Social Protection system, each building block, and each dimension, as 'nascent,' 'emerging,' or 'established.' This is intended to help practitioners identify the aspects of the country's system that are performing well, and more importantly, identify areas to be prioritized

    Parallel Title: Erscheint auch als Jafino, Bramka Arga Revised Estimates of the Impact of Climate Change on Extreme Poverty by 2030
    Keywords: Graue Literatur
    Abstract: Thousands of scenarios are used to provide updated estimates for the impacts of climate change on extreme poverty in 2030. The range of the number of people falling into poverty due to climate change is between 32 million and 132 million in most scenarios. These results are commensurate with available estimates for the global poverty increase due to COVID-19. Socioeconomic drivers play a major role: optimistic baseline scenarios (rapid and inclusive growth with universal access to basic services in 2030) halve poverty impacts compared with the pessimistic baselines. Health impacts (malaria, diarrhea, and stunting) and the effect of food prices are responsible for most of the impact. The effect of food prices is the most important factor in Sub-Saharan Africa, while health effects, natural disasters, and food prices are all important in South Asia. These results suggest that accelerated action to boost resilience is urgent, and the COVID-19 recovery packages offer opportunities to do so

    Flood Protection and Land Value Creation : Not All Resilience Investments are Created Equal (2021)
    Washington, D.C : The World Bank

    Pages: 1 Online-Ressource (46 pages)
    Parallel Title: Erscheint auch als Print Version: Avner, Paolo Flood Protection and Land Value Creation: Not All Resilience Investments are Created Equal
    Keywords: Flood Control ; Hazard Risk Management ; Housing Regulation ; Land Use ; Residential Investment ; Transport Planning ; Urban Development ; Urban Economic Development ; Urban Housing ; Water Resources
    Abstract: This paper investigates the land value creation potential from flood mitigation investments in a theoretical and applied setting, using the urban area of Buenos Aires as a case study. It contributes to the literature on the wider economic benefits of government interventions and the dividends of resilience investments. Using a simple urban economics framework that represents land and housing markets, it finds that not all flood mitigation interventions display the same potential for land value creation: where land is more valuable (city centers for example), the benefits of resilience are higher. The paper also provides ranges for land value creation potential from the flood mitigation works in Buenos Aires under various model specifications. Although the estimates vary largely depending on model parameters and specifications, in many cases the land value creation would be sufficient to justify the investments. This result is robust even in the closed city configuration with conservative flood damage estimates, providing that the parameters remain reasonably close to the values obtained from the calibration. Finally, acknowledging that fully calibrating and running an urban simulation model is data greedy and time intensive-even a simple model as proposed here-this research also proposes reduced form expressions that can provide approximations for land value creation from flood mitigation investments and can be used in operational contexts
