    Energy for heating, cooling, lighting,
    mechanical power, and various chemical processes is a
    fundamental requirement for both daily life and economic
    development. The negative impact on the environment of
    current energy systems is increasingly alarming, especially
    the global warming consequences of burning fossil fuels. The
    future requires change through the development and adoption
    of new supply technologies, through a successful search for

    Several studies addressing the supply
    and demand for food in China suggest that the nation can
    largely meet its needs in the coming decades. However,
    these studies do not consider the effects of climate change.
    This paper examines whether near future expected changes in
    climate are likely to alter this picture. The authors
    analyze the effect of temperature and precipitation on net
    crop revenues using a cross section consisting of both

    Income inequality in China has risen
    rapidly in the past decades across regions, between rural
    and urban sectors, and within provinces. The dynamics of
    divergence across these sub-national areas have taken the
    form of a "race to the top" - meaning that all
    segments of the population, including the poor with low
    education in lagging inland rural areas, have experienced
    gains in average income. The largest gains have been

    The United Arab Emirates (UAE) was
    selected as a case study because it is one of the countries
    in the region that has had rapid success in scaling up
    infrastructure in a relatively short period of time. Also,
    the Government of Pakistan (GoP) is seeking to attract
    participation of investors from the UAE into domestic
    infrastructure projects. The study also briefly considers
    the potential impact of the infrastructure development boom

    This paper uses a cross sectional method
    to analyze irrigation choice and crop choice across 8,405
    farmers in 28 provinces in China. The findings show that
    Chinese farmers are more likely to irrigate when facing
    lower temperatures and less precipitation. Farmers in
    warmer places are more likely to choose oil crops, maize,
    and especially cotton and wheat, and are less likely to
    choose vegetables, potatoes, sugar, and especially rice and

    This report reviews China's water
    scarcity situation, assesses the policy and institutional
    requirements for addressing it, and recommends key areas for
    strengthening and reform. It is a synthesis of the main
    findings and recommendations from analytical work and case
    studies prepared under the World Bank Analytical and
    Advisory Assistance (AAA) program entitled 'Addressing
    China's Water Scarcity: from Analysis to Action.'

    China has seen a huge reduction in the
    incidence of extreme poverty since the economic reforms that
    started in the late 1970s. Yet, the growth process has been
    highly uneven across sectors and regions. The paper tests
    whether the pattern of China´s growth mattered to poverty
    reduction using a new provincial panel data set constructed
    for this purpose. The econometric tests support the view
    that the primary sector (mainly agriculture) has been the

    The paper highlights the findings of a study from selected ecosystems in Indonesia, China, and Japan. The study sought to trace changes to productive resources of ecosystems over a period of 50 years; and trace the dependence of well-being of local populations on the ecosystems for the same time period. Data was collected from land-use maps, records, and participatory rapid/rural appraisal (PRA) surveys in multistakeholder forums. To illustrate the changes, an indicator-based assessment framework was developed that integrates data from biophysical and socio-economic parameters.

    At the outset of China's reform
    period, the country had a far higher poverty rate than for
    Africa as a whole. Within five years that was no longer
    true. This paper tries to explain how China escaped from a
    situation in which extreme poverty persisted due to failed
    and unpopular policies. While acknowledging that Africa
    faces constraints that China did not, and that context
    matters, two lessons stand out. The first is the importance
