Recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic offers South Asian countries a unique opportunity to adapt to and mitigate climate change by massively investing in resilient infrastructure, re-skilling their populations for high-productivity jobs, and rebuilding their economies around cleaner energy.

The South Asia Climate Roadmap builds on the World Bank Group¡¯s Climate Change Action Plan and commitment to boosting climate action at the country level by directing 35 percent of its lending portfolio in South Asia to climate-related actions, on average, over the next five years.
The South Asia Climate Roadmap will also support the development of key cutting-edge analytical tools to inform country climate planning and development strategies in South Asia.
