The World Economic and Social Survey 2016
The World Economic and Social Survey 2016 contributes to the debate on the implementation challenges of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. In addressing the specific challenge of building resilience to climate change, the Survey focuses attention on the population groups and communities that are disproportionately affected by climate hazards. It argues that, in the absence of transformative policies which coherently address the economic, social and environmental dimensions of development, building climate resilience will remain elusive and poverty and inequalities will worsen. To the extent that the differential impact of climate hazards on people and communities is determined largely by the prevalence of multiple inequalities in respect of the access to resources and opportunities, policies aimed at building climate resilience provide an opportunity to address the structural determinants of poverty and inequality in their multiple dimensions.

I. Building Resilience to Climate Change by Addressing Inequalities
Implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development will require in-depth review of the national policy frameworks that will drive the world towards sustainability. With high confidence, one of the conclusions from the IPCC report in 2014 is that, as a result of a changing climate “…livelihoods, well-being, poverty alleviation and development are already undermined and will continue to be eroded into the future..” (p.816). WESS 2016 seeks to improve understanding about the complex challenge of preventing adverse impacts, and, in some cases, development reversals from climate hazards at the same time as closing existing socio-economic development gaps.
II. Interlinkages between Climate Change and Inequality
WESS 2016 will review the literature on the impact of climate change on human systems and stresses the need to advance understanding about the link between climate change and inequalities. It will build on the idea that climate hazards and inequalities are locked in a vicious cycle, whereby climate hazards affect disproportionately people afflicted by socio-economic vulnerability. If resources are not adequate to recover from climate hazards, inequality, in its multiple dimensions, will deepen as a result. Using country studies documented in the specialized literature, the Survey reviews the economic, social and political channels through which climate hazards affect human lives and livelihoods.
III. Bringing Inequalities to the Forefront of Climate Assessments
WESS 2016 will introduce the methodologies used in integrated climate change assessments. To the extent that the occurrence and the impacts from climate change have a high degree of uncertainty, integrated assessments provide robust estimates of plausible outcomes and policy options, when taking into account the inter-linkages across the environmental, economic and social dimensions of development. The Survey will argue for the need to further the use of these methodologies to sharpen the analysis in three inter-related areas: i) on issues related to adaptation and resilience to climate hazards; ii) on a broader analysis of the economy-wide feasibility of policies for climate resilience; and iii) on a systematic analysis of inequalities.
IV. Integrating Policies for Adaptation and Reducing Inequalities
WESS 2016 will present the complexity of policy decision making processes when pursuing multiple objectives. To the extent that pre-existent inequalities impose differential impacts on people and communities, policies to build climate change resilience and sustainable development require addressing immediate needs but also the structural inequalities that impose disproportionate exposure and vulnerability to climate hazards. The Survey will argue for the need to improve substantive policy integration and coherence with a focus on livelihoods, including broader participation of all stakeholders to identify development objectives, build synergies, and address the underlying causes of vulnerability.
V. Enhanced Cooperation for Climate-resilient Development
WESS 2016 will explore international cooperation in three areas: international financing for climate change adaptation; the development of improved systems of information and data sharing and strengthened cooperation to expedite technology transfer and support to capacity development.
