Paris Agreement Compliance for Projects in the Agriculture Sector
Background
The World Bank Group (WBG) Climate Change Action Plan for 2021-2025 announced that the World Bank will align all new operations with the goals of the Paris Agreement by July 1, 2023. This "Paris Alignment" (PA) means that the WBG’s financial flows to clients will be “consistent with a pathway towards low greenhouse gas emissions and climate-resilient development.” There will also be PA Sector Notes providing sector-specific guidance. The World Bank contracted Unique to prepare the Agriculture Sector Note. This note will guide World Bank project managers on ensuring PA during project design.
