As the climate crisis becomes increasingly urgent, immediate global action is needed to achieve the temperature and adaptation goals of the Paris Agreement. Key components of this action will be articulating climate policies at the country and regional levels, strengthening the climate information architecture, and scaling up climate investment. This event, jointly hosted by the World Bank and the IMF, will explore innovative ways countries can deliver significant impacts that improve people’s quality of life, through policies that accelerate low-carbon and resilient growth to better draw in the private sector and attract more climate finance.

Many countries have been hit hard by the shocks of recent years, especially low-income countries grappling with multiple challenges—including rapid inflation, food insecurity, costly borrowing, and mounting debt. When these countries needed to formulate policy responses, their external and fiscal space was already running low after the pandemic. Now, they are faced with a funding squeeze, with aid and access to private finance drying up, that is delaying the recovery and undermining future growth prospects. This threatens to reverse a decades-long trend of steadily converging living standards. This seminar will discuss how countries can overcome the funding squeeze and build a more resilient future growth path and, in particular, explore the role the international community can play with well-coordinated policy advice, capacity building, and financial support. The discussion will also highlight the IMF’s engagement with these countries under its Poverty Reduction and Growth Trust, and how IMF concessional financing plays a key role in helping these countries cushion the impact on growth from ongoing shocks and future crises.
