As countries race to protect their communities and infrastructure from climate impacts, they need to weigh how climate change will develop. Also potentially troubling were projects for planting trees in historically unforested areas or suppressing wildfires in naturally fire-adapted ecosystems. Some projects, such as energy-intensive water desalination, can lead to increased greenhouse gas emissions. And green infrastructure in cities is often located near high-income communities, leaving more vulnerable residents with fewer resources to cope on their own.
Other banks are following a similar thought process. The European Investment Bank launched its first dedicated Adaptation Plan in November, aiming to triple investment to 4 billion euros a year by 2025.
