Defining a List of Climate Relevant Indicators:World Bank Experience
Categories of Indicators
• Climate
• Exposure to impacts
• Resilience
• GHG emissions & energy use
• National-level actions
• Carbon markets
Climate Indicators
Included:
•Temperature: historical averages, projected change
•Precipitation: historical averages, projected change
•Projected changes in hot & cold days/nights
Also Available:
•Geo-spatial historical climate data
•Future GCM and ensemble data
Mozambique example
4
Exposure to Impacts
• Land and population below 5 meters• Population affected by droughts, floods, extreme
temperatures• Urban population• Fresh water access and irrigation• Poverty: less than $1.25/day• Health, malnutrition and disease incidence
Mozambique example
6
Resilience
• Access to improved sanitation, water sources and electricity
• Cereal yields• Paved roads• Health workers per capita• Foreign direct investment (FDI) and
infrastructure investment• Ease of Doing Business ranking• Education completion level; male/female ratio
Mozambique example
8
GHG emissions & energy use
• GHG emissions: total, per capita, per GDP/PPP• GHG contributions (sinks) from forestry and land
use• Energy use: per capita, per GDP
National Actions & Carbon Markets
• UNFCCC National Communication• Emissions reduction pledges• NAMA (Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Action)
submission• NAPA (National Adaptation Program of Action)
submission• Renewable energy target• CDM projects & reductions• Joint implementation projects (JI) and issued
emission reduction units (ERU)
Mozambique example

Parting thoughts…
• National climate change statistics for standard tracking should allow at the minimum for a first level screening of a country's climate change risks and exposure.
• This is needed both for adaptation and mitigation.• For current adaptation efforts, disaster-related climate
change statistics are urgently needed to understand variability and current/future losses: GDP loss from extreme climate events, number of people affected, number killed, etc.
• Globally these could ultimately be utilized to monitor any potential Sustainable Development Goal(s) related to disaster management, resilience and/or climate change adaptation.
