Let’s talk Nature! Laura Tuck reminds us “it’s not just climate”. 2018 was the year the science started screaming at us. Listen in live, too. #InvestInNature. ipbes WBG Environment World Bank Live

Thank you to all who joined us today at the meeting of the Coalition of Finance Ministers for #ClimateAction. Finance ministers from 50 countries are committed to ensuring that better growth is consistent with a better climate. #WBGMeetings #HelsinkiPrinciples

With Federal Councillor Guy Parmelin, #Switzerland provided further support for the WorldBank's Sustainable Urban Development Program, a long-standing partnership that aims to help build sustainable #Cities4All by turning analytics into action. worldbank.org/urban #SDG11

Bravo #India for cancelling nearly 14 gigawatts of coal-fired power stations – about the same as the total amount in the UK – with the price for solar electricity “free falling” to levels once considered impossible. @HartwigSchafer Laura Tuck independent.co.uk/environment/in…

I’m pleased to represent the WorldBank Group at today’s #OnePlanet event. We have been stepping up our climate-related investments reaching close to $20 billion on average over the last two years. #ClimateAction

As the world becomes 🌡️hotter, 💧wetter, and ☀️drier due to #climatechange, water management has to become a global priority: wrld.bg/pfbp50wTgUN #ClimateIsWater

#InvestinPeople #WorldCitiesDay Disasters (cyclones, earthquakes) damage schools, devastate lives & disrupt children’s education. That's why we're launching new tools to help countries invest in #ResilientSchools & a better learning envt: gpss.worldbank.org #InvestinPeople

Disasters and #climatechange damage schools, threaten children's safety and disrupt their education. With Annette Dixon we've launched a roadmap and a library on resilient school infrastructure to help countries build more #ResilientSchools: gpss.worldbank.org #InvestInPeople

11000 scientists signed a declaration of climate emergency. Its great that it gets media attention. But it's not like this the first time. Just last year over 20000 scientist signed a similar warning. How many warnings do we need to treat this as a crisis? independent.co.uk/environment/le…

The World Bank Gov now includes, as part of all its country projects, pillars for transparency and public participation, this is an important step forward to promote inclusive decision making. Laura Tuck #InclusionMatters #GPSAForum

So here’s a new report on #resilient #infrastructure called #lifelines. With really cool calculations of costs and benefits. And a huge focus on social aspects and impacts of infrastructure disruptions. worldbank.org/en/news/featur… World Bank Cities GFDRR World Bank Water

Excited to launch the Partnership for Market Implementation platform today with generous support from the #UK, #Germany and #Norway to help countries establish emissions trading schemes and implement critical #carbonpricing policies. #COP25 #timeforaction

Critical CPLC Dialogue today on accelerating a #justtransition via #carbonpricing. Here are 3 solutions: revenues need to: go directly back to people/programs they care about; be integrated into larger #climate policy packages; and be communicated well #COP25 #timeforaction

.WorldBank is pleased to join the Alliance for Hydromet Development that’s bringing together partners to close the capacity gap in countries on high-quality #weather forecasts, early warning systems and #climate information #COP25 #timeforaction link: bit.ly/34epAXm

Happy 3rd Birthday to the #NDC Partnership! 🎂 Through this platform WorldBank is helping countries ramp up their NDC ambition and build economy-wide systems to implement them. NDCP is critical to bringing everyone together to drive for more country-level action. #COP25

A #Bamako, 45% des habitants n’ont pas accès à l’eau potable. C’est donc gratifiant de voir ce projet soutenu par la Banque mondiale qui permet de fournir un service en eau de qualité pour près de 1,3 million de personnes y compris les familles les plus vulnérables.

Food security is a priority in the WorldBank’s #COVID19 response for South Asia. While it’s essential to focus on plentiful supply, especially for the most vulnerable, we must also ensure that food is nutritious. wrld.bg/5BQY50zDcK6 #SAFANSI
