A framework for promoting FCV-Sensitive Climate Action

This Framework exists to help technical and non-technical teams in development organizations embed FCV-sensitivity into the design and prioritization of climate-related programming. It primarily targets analytics and diagnostics that support country and regional programming as well as Advisory Services and Analytics (ASAs) such as Country Climate and Development Reports (CCDRs) and Risk and Resilience Assessments (RRAs), alongside country engagement products.

To support the development and adoption of an FCV-sensitive approach to climate action, both within the World Bank and the wider development space. This document presents a new Framework for promoting FCV-Sensitive Climate Action. The Framework includes two core elements: i) outlining several principles for FCV-sensitivity that can be applied in all settings, and ii) providing guidance on tailoring climate action to the unique challenges, needs, and capacities of different fragile and conflict-affected environments. While the former element builds on existing resources aimed at promoting FCV-sensitive climate action, the latter extends currently available tools that often treat FCV-affected settings as homogenous.
