The World Bank has called for more funding from donor countries to increase its work on climate change, as global development ministers prepare to meet this weekend to examine the Bank’s role in promoting clean energy, according to documents prepared for the meetings.
In a news conference ahead of the weekend meeting …World Bank President Robert Zoellick said the institution could work with countries to integrate climate change adaptation and mitigation strategies into their development plans on such issues as agriculture, land-use policies and urban planning.
He said the Bank could be a “clearing house and developer” of market expertise in the area.
