| Summary: | Climate change is the consequence of
market and governance failures. The World Bank Group’s
climate change strategy, laid out in its 2025 Climate
Targets and Actions, recognizes that governance will play a
critical role in addressing climate change. The strategy
commits the World Bank to support clients’ efforts to
mainstream climate action and fully integrate climate change
into their planning, budgeting and fiscal policies. The
Governance Practice plays a leading role in the
implementation of this strategy, through its work with
center of government, planning and finance agencies,
inter-governmental relations, governance of State-Owned
Enterprises, and open government initiatives. This Note
provides an overview of the Bank’s corporate climate change
commitments and the application of these commitments in the
Governance Practice. Annex 1 provides an illustrative list
of climate change governance activities by business lines
and identifies example projects. Annex 2 presents an
illustrative list of Governance Climate Change indicators.
Annex 3 provides additional information on climate
co-benefits in projects with ICT and Gov-Tech activities. |
