During the 2007 spring meetings, the
development committee endorsed the World Bank Group's
action plan on the Clean Energy Investment Framework (CEIF).
This progress report is a response to the committee's
request for an update on the implementation of the action
plan for the annual meetings in October 2007. It summarizes
accomplishments in the three areas of the action plan: 1)
energy for growth, with a particular emphasis on access to
energy in Sub-Saharan Africa; 2) transition to a low-carbon
development trajectory; and 3) adaptation to the impacts of
climate change. This report also outlines an approach to
scaling up actions on climate change and provides a review
of options to further reduce the financial barriers to
support low-carbon and adaptive growth in developing
countries. This Progress Report provides an update on the
implementation of the CEIF action plan.
