[Placeholder — please review and refine once the executive summary is available.] The World Bank Group's Climate Adaptation and Resilience flagship report brings together the institution's most current thinking on how developing countries can prepare for, absorb, and recover from a warming climate. Drawing on program data, country experience, and cross-sector research, the report frames the case for scaling adaptation investment — from infrastructure and agriculture to health and social protection — and lays out the financing, policy, and implementation shifts required to reach the communities most exposed to climate risk.

We played off the existing branding for the Climate Change group, which centers around a color bar that indicates global rising temperatures. We used a mix of duotones of those colors throughout the report — in section openers and in supporting elements such as figures and boxes. Bold box and figure treatments break up long stretches of text, alongside a curated selection of strong images throughout.
