TANZANIA

Tanzania has seen substantial social and
economic progress the past two decades.
The government aims to continue this
momentum to grow the economy, reduce
poverty, create jobs, and increase exports.




Climate change could set back Tanzania’s progress.
By 2050, if no action is taken, climate change could:


Push more people                 Reduce livestock
into poverty—up to               productivity by

2.6 million                      11%
Increase Tanzania’s net          Double repair costs
greenhouse gas                   for roads and bridges
emissions by nearly              by up to

130%                             $216 million            *


Lower labor                      Decrease montane
productivity, such               forests area by as

To enhance its proactive efforts to address climate
change, Tanzania could:

       Enhance current climate action by:
       Readying vulnerable households through WASH,
       education, health services, and social protection

       Optimizing land and water management for
       climate smart agriculture and rural economies

       Prioritizing resilient and low-carbon transport,
       digital and energy systems

       Making urban areas resilient to floods/droughts,
       and supporting low-carbon development

       Strengthening coordination and involvement of
       people, local government, and sector ministries
       in addressing climate change




       Mobilize climate finance by:
       Increasing government funding for public goods
       and boosting public spending effectiveness

       Exploring carbon pricing and adopting best
       practices for carbon trading

       Stimulating development of innovative financing
       instruments—e.g., sustainability linked bonds

       Enacting public-private partnership regulation
       that encourages climate-informed investments

       Tackling currency risk and encouraging foreign
       direct investment in climate finance




       Involve the private sector in:
       Improving agriculture productivity with technology
       Introducing commercial and industrial solar energy
       Building resilient, low-carbon transport systems

... and much more




THE TIME FOR STRONGER CLIMATE ACTION IS NOW.

By 2050, investing                        Otherwise,
in adaptation could                       inaction could
cut climate-related                       lead to a reduction
