The connection between development and climate change is increasingly clear: delivering on these together will require large-scale low-carbon and resilient investments. It will also require approaches that tackle the political economy of the low-carbon transition and help communities build long-lasting resilience to climate change. What are the investments needed to achieve a green, resilient and sustainable future? How can we unlock private finance for climate action? How are countries stepping up to the challenge? This event will look at the actions that are needed to create enabling environments, leverage different pools of capital at the right time, for specific needs, while involving communities and bringing them along in the global low-carbon, resilient transition.

Debt Transparency – it’s a phrase that gets thrown around a lot in development circles. But what exactly is it? And why is it so important? To get answers to these and other questions, we spoke with Marcello Estevão, Global Director of Macroeconomics, Trade and Investment here at the World Bank. As we learn, it’s a lot more straightforward than you might think, and it can have big benefits for borrowing countries as well as lenders.

#WorldBankExpertAnswers is a new series from the World Bank Group, where we answer the biggest questions in development – topics like debt, trade, tackling extreme poverty, finance, agriculture, fragility, conflict and violence, energy, sustainability, the environment, natural resources, climate change adaptation and resilience, public health, nutrition, human capital, gender equality, human rights, infrastructure, education, digital economy and development, competitiveness, innovation, transportation, and water.
