Tanzania’s ambition to become a middle-income country by 2050 faces climate-related challenges that could slow growth by 4%, push 2.6M people into poverty, and internally displace 13M by mid-century. The World Bank’s CCDR outlines strategies to counter these risks, including fostering climate resilience, optimizing land and water use, and investing in low-carbon infrastructure.
Leveraging private sector contributions and innovative financing will be key to achieving sustainable, inclusive growth. Despite contributing just 0.31% to global emissions, Tanzania’s vulnerabilities, such as flood-prone cities and agriculture dependence, highlight the urgent need for action.
