]limate ]hange and Poverty
2 ]ontinuing climate change at current rates will pose
increasingly severe challenges to development (WDR 2010).
2 Poor countries and poor people in all countries will be most
affected by climate change and are also most dependent on
environment and natural resources .
2 To stabilize atmospheric concentrations of GHGs at levels
that may be considered ¶safe·, estimates suggest the additional
investment costs for mitigation could be anywhere between
US$200 billion to over US$1 trillion per annum.
2 At least tens of billions of U.S. dollars per year should be
added to finance the cost of adaptation due to the inevitable
amount of warming that the world would experience.

Adaptation Financing
2 In a very real sense development is the best
adaptation ² investing in skills, health, knowledge,
better infrastructure and a more diversified
economy will render countries more climate-
resilient.
2 The traditional public sector role of investing in
human capital and infrastructure, creating the
enabling environment for private sector growth,

urgent in the context of climate change.
