Paraguay country climate and development report

The report examines how Paraguay can build better resilience to climate shocks. It also examines how Paraguay can benefit from decarbonization by leveraging its hydropower sector and transforming its forestry, agriculture, and transport sectors. The Country Climate and Development Report (CCDR) explores opportunities and challenges that climate change poses to Paraguay's development.

Paraguay's growth model creates large climate vulnerabilities, but if it manages its political economy constraints, the country can take advantage of climate action to transition to a more robust development path. Despite the challenges brought by climate change impacts on water security and health, Paraguay can transform its economy to take advantage of its water, land, and forestry resources more sustainably, with positive long-term growth impacts.
