What it proves
Adaptation is central because major impacts are already occurring.
What it does not prove: The CCDR is a diagnostic and advisory report, not a budgeted programme or a binding commitment, so it evidences what the World Bank recommended in 2022 rather than what Pakistan has implemented. Its 2022 date also means it predates the NDC 3.0 targets and the later climate-finance instruments, so it cannot be cited as an assessment of current policy.
Memory hook: CCDR 2022 → people-centred adaptation named the priority, not emissions cuts
Rebuts the claim: "Pakistan's climate response should focus on cutting its own emissions" — the Bank's country diagnostic puts adaptation and resilience first.
