However, while the aggregate effect is expected to be small, countries need to prepare for significant sectoral and regional shifts. The report highlights measures to reduce five frictions that prevent workers to adjust to a rapidly changing labor market: skills, space, time, norms, and wages.

At the same time, the shift to low-emission development pathways, with emissions reduced by 71 percent by 2050, would have a small and most of the time positive impacts on GDP and labor income.

Key highlights include that climate adaptation could yield labor income benefits equivalent to 150 million jobs by 2050, a combination of new jobs created by investments in infrastructure or nature-based solution and jobs that are protected from negative shocks and impacts.

CCDRs now cover 72 economies, each with its own modeling, and their preparation include the iterative aspects mentioned in the paper, both across disciplines (eg energy and macro) and btw modelers and decision makers.

Macroeconomic implications of a transition to net zero emissions
In 2022 the World Bank Group launched a new core diagnostic tool: the Country Climate and Development Report (CCDR). Published for 42 economies so far, CCDRs use resilient and low-emission development...

curious to hear what you think of the modeling approach deployed in CCDRs, in which different parts of the systems are modeled separately (to keep modeling manageable and sufficiently detailed), with a macro analyses validating the feasibility and estimating financial and macro implications…

An obsession for a long time: many policy goals interact strongly in urban setting. In a case study on Paris, we show that you need a combination of policies to combine housing affordability, low emissions, and resilience. www.nature.com/articles/ncl...
Trade-offs and synergies in urban climate policies - Nature Climate Change
Urban climate policies interact with socio–economic policy goals. These interactions can lead to trade-offs or synergies, but have been rarely analysed. Now research provides a quantification of these...
