The brilliant Grace Malie at #COP29 speaking up for island women The women of #Tuvalu stand strong against the rising sea. They are the backbone of #ClimateAdaptation , which means they need to be at the decision-making table When women rise, the world rises with them

Friends, #nature is on the last day of #COP29 because it bookends everything - we cannot bend the curve of emissions without nature; we cannot build resilience against the #ClimateCrisis without nature Join World Bank online or in person at #COP29Baku tomorrow Thursday for more

Amen sister! Romina Khurshid Alam from #Pakistan making a compelling call at #COP29 to stop using the term natural disasters It’s time to start being honest - these are all man-made disasters. And yes, I said man-made.

On #nature day at #COP29 Marina Silva reminds us that forests are more than shared carbon sinks & wood lots. They are home to millions and their hopes, dreams, livelihood ambitions & cultural riches We’ll never win the war on #climatechange without stopping the war on forests

The hardest working woman in environment Inger Andersen read a Robert Frost poem to call our attention to forests to #EndPoverty & combat the #ClimateCrisis World Bank Environment stands with you from #COP16 to #COP29 to #INC5 & #UNCCDCOP16 There are miles to go before we sleep

Excited to be in #Pakistan as my 1st official trip as the new World Bank climate global director, at #BreathePakistan conf organized by Dawn.com media because Pakistan is unwilling to wish away the weather & is standing up to the #ClimateCrisis even as other countries stand down

One of the privileges of my job is listening to smart people share their analysis to make the world a better place, #EndPoverty & build #climateresilience. Today I’m Bennett Institute University of Sussex , the university that sent the world’s first transatlantic email in 1973. Cool!

I rarely disagree with Jim Skea , but Bennett Institute he said “without a just transition, there won’t be a transition at all” The truth is that the energy revolution will move forward even if people are left behind. It’s our job World Bank Climate to ensure that doesn’t happen

I’m an optimist by profession, but it can be hard, especially when I learn from Benjamin Sovacool Bennett Institute that in the UK, one in three households is in energy #poverty In the UK In 2025 We have to do more to #EndPoverty everywhere

Best metaphor I’ve heard about #Data by Ben Goldacre Bennett Institute event It’s like nuclear material, it’s only powerful when concentrated and refined and qualitatively changed. And it can be used for good or bad. And when it does leak, it can’t be unleaked. Yikes!

On this #WorldWildlifeDay I’m proud that World Bank is making nature count for people and the planet. There will never be a world without poverty in a world without nature thedocs.worldbank.org/en/doc/d25335a…

I fight poverty for a living, including on #WorldWildlifeDay by unlocking the power of nature as a first step on a ladder into the middle class for people living at the agricultural & coastal frontiers We will #EndPoverty when we start seeing the potential of nature for people

What matters is that our #ClimateAction accelerates our mission to #EndPoverty That real people are better off, with more food & more money People like Gertrude Banda in #Zambia who never asked for a handout, but used the hand up we gave her to build a path out of poverty

What the folks in Pittsford Vermont wrote….

La fheile Padraig sona daoibh go leir! Happy St Patrick’s Day! And if you’re wondering what’s in my mug, it’s not tea….

Blended finance & derisking can change how attractive the fight for clean air is to the private sector. Nuru Lama, IFC Global Lead for Waste and Circularity is sharing examples Climate & Clean Air Coalition #NowWeCan conf about how this is working in #Brazil in the waste management sector

The brilliant Adalberto Maluf telling us not just that #NowWeCan during Climate & Clean Air Coalition meeting, but now we must tackle super-pollutants because pollution is destroying economic activity & hurting people, killing kids

So often discussions around super pollutants are highly exclusive terrain for scientists. That isn’t the spirit of Climate & Clean Air Coalition & #NowWeCan . Drew Shindell Duke Environment and #Nigeria’s Dr Nkiruka Chidia Maduekwe reminded us that bridging the science-policy-society divide matters

Forests sit at the center of #ForestDay and #WorldWaterDay2025 And people live in and off of forests and the water they provide Helping these people access new revenue sources to pay for managing those forests matter. #REDD is one way to do this worldbank.org/en/news/featur…

What’s the first step on the ladder to #EndPoverty ? Access to affordable, reliable electricity I’m proud that World Bank is going to halve the number of Africans without electricity by 2030 That’s 300m more people on their way into the middle class! blogs.worldbank.org/en/climatechan…
