Summary of the Second Progress Report on the Implementation of the Africa Climate Business Plan (ACBP)

Overview

This report outlines the progress made in implementing the Africa Climate Business Plan (ACBP) in 2017. Launched at COP21 in Paris in 2015, the ACBP aims to support climate-resilient and low-carbon development across Sub-Saharan Africa. The report highlights achievements in resource mobilization, the role of climate co-benefits, and the contribution of ACBP projects to the Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs).

Core Content

The ACBP is structured around three clusters:

• Strengthening Resilience: Projects aimed at enhancing the resilience of natural, physical, and human/social capital.
• Powering Resilience: Focuses on scaling up low-carbon energy sources to increase energy access and mitigate climate change.
• Enabling Resilience: Provides data, information, and decision-making tools to support climate-resilient development.

The overall goal is to raise $19.3 billion by 2020, with the World Bank contributing $8.48 billion. The report emphasizes the importance of climate co-benefits in development activities, aiming to increase the share of World Bank financing with such benefits to 28% by 2020.

Main Progress and Achievements

Resource Mobilization

• As of June 30, 2017, the number of ACBP projects reached 204, a net increase of 57 over 2016.
• Total World Bank commitments for ACBP projects reached $8.8 billion by June 30, 2017.
• Cumulative commitments for all projects were estimated at $22 billion by June 2017, up from $13 billion in the 2016 report.
• Funding with climate co-benefits exceeded the ACBP target for FY17 ($2.11 billion), reaching $2.82 billion.

Climate Co-Benefits

• The share of World Bank financing to Sub-Saharan Africa with climate co-benefits increased to 25% in FY17, up from a baseline of 17%.
• The ACBP projects accounted for about 45% of the World Bank's total financing in the region.
• By June 30, 2017, 3,615.9 million dollars of funding had climate co-benefits, representing 25% of total funding for the cluster.

NDC Implementation

• 48 countries in Sub-Saharan Africa communicated their post-2020 climate commitments through NDCs.
• The report analyzed how ACBP projects align with these commitments and found that 80% of the 204 projects (163 projects) contributed to NDC implementation.
• These projects totaled $18.3 billion in commitments, with a strong focus on adaptation.

Key Components and Contributions

Strengthening Resilience Cluster

• Includes projects related to natural capital (e.g., agriculture, landscapes, water bodies).
• Climate-smart agriculture and transport components are the largest contributors to climate co-benefits.
• The share of climate co-benefits for these components was 29% and 25%, respectively.
• Coastal resilience projects had the highest climate co-benefits ratio at 83%.

Powering Resilience Cluster

• Focuses on renewable energy (solar, hydropower, geothermal).
• Solar projects accounted for $1.64 billion in commitments, with 61% climate co-benefits.
• Hydropower and geothermal projects had 49% and 81% climate co-benefits, respectively.
• The total renewable energy commitments were about $3 billion.

Enabling Resilience Cluster

• Provides data and tools for climate-resilient development.
• Includes the Africa Hydromet Program and the Africa Climate Resilient Investment Facility.
• The share of climate co-benefits for these projects was not available, indicating a need for further data collection.

Key Insights

• The ACBP has made significant progress in mobilizing resources and achieving climate co-benefits.
• The plan is expected to have a catalytic effect on climate finance beyond its own activities.
• The report highlights the importance of integrating climate resilience into development projects and policies.
• The ACBP is contributing to the implementation of NDCs and helping to build adaptive capacity in the region.

Conclusion

The second progress report on the ACBP demonstrates substantial achievements in climate-resilient and low-carbon development in Sub-Saharan Africa. With over 200 projects and $8.8 billion in commitments by June 2017, the ACBP is on track to meet its 2020 funding target. The focus on climate co-benefits and alignment with NDCs underscores its role in supporting sustainable development and reducing vulnerability to climate change.
