This report is the output of the World
Bank-financed study on Making Trans-port Climate Resilient
for Ethiopia, which is a Sub-Saharan Africa initiative to
respond to the impact of climate changes on road
transport.The climate scenarios The study is based on four
climate scenarios selected by the World Bank to be
consistent with the scenarios used in the study Economics of
Adaptation to Climate Change. The scenarios span from a
"global dry" future with lower temperatures and
less rain than today to a "wet Ethiopia" future
with more rain than today and an increase in heavy rain so
that a 10- year storm in 2050 will be 25% more intensive
than today. The foreseen increases in average temperatures
range from -1 OC to 2 OC by 2050.
