- Comment les systèmes éducatifs peuvent-ils préparer et former les jeunes aux enjeux du changement climatique et renforcer leur capacité d'action ? Travail de sensibilisation, changement des comportements et développement des compétences nécessaires à la transition écologique : l’éducation joue un rôle essentiel dans la lutte contre la crise climatique. Cet outil est pourtant grandement négligé, avec à peine 1,5 % des financements climatiques consacrés au secteur de l’éducation en 2021. Dans le monde entier, l’éducation est le facteur le plus déterminant de la prise de conscience climatique, et les études montrent que des niveaux d’instruction plus élevés vont de pair avec des comportements écologiques, une préférence pour des politiques respectueuses de l’environnement et une plus grande capacité d’adaptation. L’éducation peut permettre la généralisation à grande échelle des compétences nécessaires pour porter la transition écologique, en ...

- ¿Cómo pueden los sistemas educativos empoderar, preparar y capacitar a los jóvenes en el área de la mitigación y adaptación al cambio climático? La educación es clave para abordar la crisis climática a través de la concientización, el cambio de comportamiento y las habilidades para las transiciones verdes. Sin embargo, la educación se omite en gran medida en el financiamiento climático: en 2021, solo el 1,5 % del financiamiento relacionado con el clima se destinó al sector educativo. En todo el mundo, la educación es el factor predictivo más importante de la sensibilización sobre el cambio climático, y los niveles educativos más altos se asocian con comportamientos favorables al medio ambiente, preferencias por políticas inocuas para el medio ambiente y una mayor capacidad de adaptación.

- How can education systems empower, equip, and skill young people for climate mitigation and adaptation? Education is key for addressing the climate crisis through awareness, behavior change, and skills for green transitions. And yet, education is massively overlooked in climate financing. Worldwide, education is the single strongest predictor of climate change awareness and higher levels of education are associated with pro-environmental behaviors, preferences for environmentally friendly policies, and stronger adaptive capacity. Education can generate green skills at scale to propel green transitions – preparing the youth of today for an estimated 100 million new green jobs, or for existing jobs that will require green skills. Education can propel climate action. But at the same time, climate change is impeding progress for education. Climate change induced heat and extreme weather events are significantly disrupting learning. Millions of students worldwide face school closures due ...

In Nepal, we conducted an Overview Assessment of the country’s existing environmental and social (E&S) provisions to provide a strategic analysis of Nepal’s ESF in relation to the World Bank’s ESF. A robust country E&S system can help identify project risks and impacts, inform the design of appropriate mitigation measures, and continuously monitor implementation to build stakeholder trust and de-risk investment.

- Description
- Lebanon is among the countries least prepared to face climate change. At the root of this vulnerability is the country’s limited adaptive capacity. Despite the country’s strained fiscal and institutional context, the cost of inaction is high. Critical no-regret investments in key service sectors like energy, water, transport and solid waste are urgently needed in the short-term to mitigate the impact of climate change on Lebanon’s development path.

- Description
- An estimated 850 million people globally – and one in two people in Mozambique – do not have an official proof of their identity, which limits their ability to access health, education, financial services, and economic opportunities. The World Bank is supporting the Government of Mozambique in closing this gap by improving the accessibility of both civil registration and identification. The World Bank’s Identification for Development (ID4D) initiative is documenting—through the Every ID has a story campaign—how official IDs have a transformative effect on people’s lives. This video tells the story of Isac, a young boy from Mozambique’s Inhambane province, who takes the first step toward realizing his dreams of going back to school and working a good job by obtaining his first ID – made possible by the mobile brigades visiting his district and offering free, simplified birth- and ID registration.

- Description
- As the stewards of the world’s power grids, utilities are key to achieving the dual goals of the clean energy transition: decarbonizing electricity supply and demand while providing electricity to the nearly 700 million people who still lack it. But in many developing countries, utilities and the electrical grids they operate are in dire straits: less than 40% of utilities are financially sustainable. High costs, low tariffs, transmission and distribution losses, inefficient payment collection, and poor planning, perpetuate cycles of underperformance, burdening government budgets while leaving many consumers without reliable power. Collective action—from policymakers, regulators, financiers, and utilities themselves—can help utilities fulfill their mandate of delivering affordable and reliable electricity supply to all.

- Description
- The global economy is expected to stabilize for the first time in three years in 2024—but at a level that is weak by recent historical standards, according to the World Bank’s latest Global Economic Prospects report. Global growth is projected to hold steady at 2.6% in 2024 before edging up to an average of 2.7% in 2025-26. That is well below the 3.1% average in the decade before COVID-19. The forecast implies that over the course of 2024-26 countries that collectively account for more than 80% of the world’s population and global GDP would still be growing more slowly than they did in the decade before COVID-19. http://wrld.bg/PUpf50SeRoA #economicdevelopment

Pero, aunque la región ha logrado un progreso significativo hacia la estabilidad económica en las últimas décadas, el crecimiento se ha estancado en los últimos años.

- Competition can be a powerful engine for economic growth and productivity. When markets are competitive, innovation can flourish. This leads to greater efficiency, lower costs and, ultimately, greater choice for consumers. In Latin America and the Caribbean, this is a central debate. But while the region has made significant progress in economic stabilization over recent decades, growth has stalled in recent years. The latest regional economic review by the World Bank titled “Competition: The Missing Ingredient for Growth?” identifies low levels of competition as an important factor contributing to low economic growth in the region. What is the relationship between competition and economic competitiveness? How can governments and businesses work together to craft a framework that is conducive to higher competitiveness?
