The Role for the Bretton Woods Institutions in Climate Action

This year marks the 80th anniversary of the creation of the Bretton Woods institutions and offers a moment to reflect on current and future global challenges. No challenge is bigger than the climate crisis. The World Bank Group and the International Monetary Fund are already taking unprecedented measures to mobilize their resources and expertise to address it. This session will feature a range of perspectives on what is working, how to scale those efforts up and what else can be done over the next few critical decades.
