Climate-related risks are macro-critical considerations for Burkina Faso. This Climate Policy Diagnostic identifies policy reforms that reduce balance of payment risks, boost fiscal resilience, and generate positive climate outcomes. A robust package of fiscal policies is key to accelerating energy access and transition, while a holistic approach to reform is needed to promote water and food security. Efficient disaster risk management and financing will save lives and build economic resilience, and sustainable forestry, land-use, and waste management can be supported by good fiscal policies. In addition, strong climate governance helps streamline implementation and reduce costs toward building long-term resilience.
