Addressing Climate Change and Development Together | The World Bank Group and Paris Alignment
Development and climate change are interlocked challenges, but they also present interconnected solutions. To address both together, the World Bank Group has shifted its focus from greening projects to greening entire economies. Aligning the Bank’s financing flows with the Paris Agreement on climate change is a key step in our journey to reduce poverty while also tackling the climate challenge. Our commitment is to deliver on both goals as we work to create a world free from poverty on a livable planet. Learn more: http://wrld.bg/oRgL50OUm4H
