climate change from 2021-25.
Jim Yong Kim, president of World Bank, said the world’s poorest and most
vulnerable are at the greatest risk from climate change and he urged the wider
global community to follow its lead.

call on the global community to do the same. This is about putting countries and
communities in charge of building a safer, more climate-resilient future.”
