Abstract
This document outlines a new strategic approach for a global organization to address the challenges and opportunities within the agricultural sector. The document highlights four fundamental shifts transforming the agribusiness landscape, including the increasing vulnerability of agriculture to climate change, the emergence of new tools for derisking investments, advancements in digitalization, and the need for greater collaboration between large food companies and smaller farmers. The organization proposes a comprehensive ecosystem approach to agribusiness involving increased investment, focusing on smallholder farmers and producer organizations, and combining public and private sector initiatives. The document emphasizes the potential of this approach to create jobs, improve food security, and contribute to a more sustainable future.

Publication Remarks by World Bank Group President Ajay Banga at Transforming Climate Finance Event, COP28(Washington, DC: World Bank, 2023-12-01)These were the remarks delivered by World Bank Group President Ajay Banga at the COP28 Climate Finance Event on December 1, 2023. He spoke about the resources of wealthy nations can create opportunities, meanwhile the abundance of sun, wind, fertile soil, and young people enjoyed by emerging economies could drive our future. We have inherited decades of knowledge and benefitted from the generosity of every nation, now we are being called upon to lead, and we have never been better positioned to deliver the progress that is demanded. Today, the World Bank is setting an ambitious goal to devote 45 percent of our annual financing to climate by 2025. We’re putting our ambition in overdrive and putting to work more than 40 billion dollars per year, around 9 billion dollars more than the original target. Making certain IBRD and IDA resources are deployed equally for mitigation and adaptation, because while we all are experiencing climate change, we are feeling the effects differently. Over the next few days, the World Bank will detail a blueprint for slashing methane emissions, announce a roadmap for high integrity carbon markets, discuss progress on our Private Sector Investment Lab, and outline efforts to deepen the collective impact of multilateral development banks.Publication Remarks by World Bank Group President Ajay Banga at the 2024 Annual Meetings Plenary(Washington, DC: World Bank, 2024-10-28)In his speech at the 2024 Annual Meetings Plenary, World Bank Group President Ajay Banga highlighted the organization's achievements over its 80-year history and outlined its future direction. He emphasized the dual focus on reconstruction and development, reflecting on the World Bank's origins and its evolving role in addressing global challenges such as poverty, climate change, conflict, and pandemics. Banga discussed the need for the World Bank to be faster, simpler, and more impact-oriented. He noted improvements in project approval times, streamlined processes, and enhanced collaboration with other multilateral development banks. He also highlighted the importance of measurable outcomes and increased lending capacity to maximize the institution's impact.Publication Remarks by World Bank Group President Ajay Banga at the Compact with Africa: G20 Finance Ministers & Central Bank Governors Meeting, Durban, South Africa(Washington, DC: World Bank, 2025-07-25)By the middle of the 21st century, Africa is poised to play a defining role in global development, with its rapidly growing population, abundant natural resources, and expanding cities. Ajay Banga, in his remarks at the Compact with Africa side event during the G20 Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors Meeting in Durban, South Africa, emphasized the continent's potential to become a global growth engine. With the largest and youngest workforce, Africa has the capacity to feed the planet, power renewable energy solutions, and meet its own energy needs. However, this promising future is not guaranteed, as the continent faces significant challenges, including the need to create jobs for its burgeoning youth population. Banga highlighted the importance of private-sector job creation, which accounts for 90% of employment, and stressed the need for conditions that enable businesses to thrive. The World Bank Group plays a critical role in this effort, leveraging public financing, policy reform, and private sector support to drive sustainable growth across key sectors such as infrastructure, agribusiness, healthcare, tourism, and value-added manufacturing.Publication Remarks by World Bank Group President Ajay Banga at the Lowy Institute in Sydney, Australia(Washington, DC: World Bank, 2024-09-13)World Bank Group President Ajay Banga delivered remarks at the Lowy Institute in Sydney, Australia. He discussed the World Bank's efforts to address global challenges such as climate change, inequality, and fragility. Banga highlighted the reforms the World Bank has implemented to become more effective and impactful, including expanding its mission and vision, shortening project-approval processes, integrating operations, and increasing lending capacity. He also emphasized the importance of securing a significant replenishment of the International Development Association (IDA) and the need for collaboration with the private sector to close the financing and jobs gap. Banga mentioned specific initiatives focused on climate financing, healthcare, energy access, and social protection programs. He concluded by expressing the World Bank's commitment to ongoing reforms and greater ambition in achieving its development goals.Publication Remarks by World Bank Group President Ajay Banga at G20 Global Alliance Against Hunger and Poverty in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil(Washington, DC: World Bank, 2024-07-24)This document highlights the interconnectedness of poverty and hunger, emphasizing the need for a comprehensive approach to address both issues. It emphasizes the importance of investing in proven solutions, particularly in the areas of social protection, agricultural development, and knowledge sharing. The document also underscores the role of international partnerships and financial resources in achieving these goals, aiming to create a world free from both poverty and hunger.

Publication World Bank East Asia and Pacific Economic Update, October 2025: Jobs(Washington, DC: World Bank, 2025-10-07)GDP growth in the East Asia and Pacific (EAP) region remains above the global average but is projected to slow down in 2025 and even further in 2026. The sluggishness is due to a less favorable external environment—rising trade restrictions, easing but still elevated global uncertainty, and slowing global growth—as well as persistent domestic difficulties. Today, many people are in low-productivity or informal jobs, and many of the young cannot find any jobs. The class of people vulnerable to falling into poverty is now larger than the middle class in most countries. In a region that thrived because export-oriented, labor-intensive growth created more productive jobs, firms must deal with higher tariffs and workers must contend with the growing use of robots, AI and digital platforms. More productive jobs would be created by reforms to enhance economic opportunity, human capacity and their virtuous interplay.Publication Kyrgyz Republic Country Climate and Development Report(Washington, DC: World Bank, 2025-11-03)This Country Climate and Development Report (CCDR) on the Kyrgyz Republic aims to support the country’s development goals amid a changing climate. The CCDR considers two policy scenarios up to 2050: the business-as-usual (BAU) and high-growth scenarios. As it quantifies the likely impacts of climate change on the Kyrgyz economy between now and 2050, the report highlights key government actions to best prepare for and adapt to climate impacts (referred to as “with adaptation” measures), with a particular focus on the time horizon up to 2030. The CCDR also outlines a path to net zero emissions by 2050 (referred to as “with mitigation” measures, “decarbonization,” or, simply, “net zero 2050”), highlighting associated development co-benefits.Publication Defueling Conflict: Notes From the Field(Washington, DC: World Bank, 2025-12-01)Defueling Conflict: Notes from the Field explores the operationalization of conflict sensitivity and environmental peacebuilding, synthesizing tools and lessons learned from the World Bank's engagement in this field. It builds directly on the 2022 World Bank report Defueling Conflict: Environment and Natural Resource Management as a Pathway to Peace, which clarified the linkages between the environment, FCV risks, and peacebuilding opportunities. While the 2022 report provided the “why,” this new publication focuses on the “how,” demonstrating practical applications across key project and strategic entry points: upstream analytics that inform downstream operations; project design (contextual risks analysis, theories of change); safeguards; Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning; and institutional capacity building. The report aims to: provide practical tools to integrate FCV and NRM considerations across the program cycle; demonstrate innovative methods to measure and monitor outcomes, and to build the evidence base; and serve as a resource for institutions looking to build environmental peacebuilding and conflict sensitivity capacities.Publication Jobs in a Changing Climate: Insights from World Bank Group Country Climate and Development Reports Covering 93 Economies(Washington, DC: World Bank, 2025-11-05)The World Bank Group’s Country Climate and Development Reports (CCDRs) provide a crosscutting look at how countries’ development prospects, and the job opportunities they offer to their people, can be threatened by climate impacts and supported by climate policies. Climate change and policies affect jobs through impacts on productivity, energy and material efficiency, and physical, human, and natural capital. They can also transform employment opportunities, especially through complementary measures that help workers and firms adapt to and benefit from new technologies and production practices. Prepared by the World Bank, the International Finance Corporation (IFC), and the Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency (MIGA), CCDRs integrate country perspectives, climate science and economic modeling, private sector information, and policy analysis to assess how countries can successfully grow and develop their economies and create jobs despite increasing climate risks and while achieving their climate objectives and commitments. Each CCDR starts from the country’s development priorities, opportunities, and challenges, and is developed in close consultation with governments, businesses, and civil society, ensuring the recommendations reflect national priorities. By combining evidence on adaptation, resilience, and emissions pathways, CCDRs highlight where climate action can reinforce development and job creation, and where targeted policies are needed to manage risks and smooth labor market transitions. Taken together, these elements can help create local jobs, ensure economic transitions are just and inclusive, and equip workers and firms to navigate the disruptions and opportunities of a changing climate and changing technologies.Publication Côte d’Ivoire Country Climate and Development Report(Washington, DC: World Bank, 2023-11-02)Le présent CCDR comporte trois messages principaux: (i) En premier lieu, le maintien du statu quo ne permettra plus de soutenir la croissance économique de la Côte d'Ivoire et ses ambitions de devenir un pays à revenu intermédiaire de la tranche supérieure à l’horizon 2030, tout en réduisant considérablement la pauvreté. Toutes choses étant égales par ailleurs, et dans le cadre d’un scénario de climat sec/plus chaud, le changement climatique devrait réduire le produit intérieur brut (PIB) réel de 13 pour cent d’ici à 2050, ce qui empêcherait 1,63 million de personnes de s’affranchir de la pauvreté. Quoique dispendieuses, les mesures d’adaptation peuvent potentiellement compenser une grande partie de l’impact négatif du climat, notamment sur les populations démunies; (ii) Deuxièmement, des secteurs économiques clés, dont le cacao et l’énergie, courent le risque de connaître des contre-performances si aucune mesure n’est prise maintenant même pour faire face aux impacts climatiques et tirer parti des mutations technologiques ou des changements réglementaires. En outre, les centres urbains, qui sont des pôles économiques, sont exposés aux dommages climatiques subis par les infrastructures et aux pertes considérables de moyens de subsistance subies par les populations démunies vivant dans des communautés à faibles revenus. Des menaces planent également sur les routes, les réseaux numériques et les autres infrastructures qui assurent l’interconnectivité au plan national, garantissant l’efficacité des déplacements et l’accès aux marchés et aux services; (iii) Troisièmement, la Côte d'Ivoire n’est pas actuellement prête à faire face aux conséquences du changement climatique. Sa capacité d’adaptation en est encore à ses balbutiements, ses institutions et sa coordination de l’action en faveur du climat sont fragmentaires, et ses politiques et programmes ne sont pas à la hauteur du défi climatique auquel sont confrontées les populations vulnérables. Entre-temps, la mise en œuvre des stratégies et plans existants reste limitée. Les composantes réglementaires, institutionnelles et climatiques nécessaires à la gestion des impacts climatiques doivent être revues ou mises en place. Certes, la croissance du secteur privé a connu une tendance positive, mais elle n’atteint pas encore son potentiel en termes de portée et d’échelle, si bien qu’elle doit encore se développer pour jouer son rôle essentiel à l’adaptation aux effets du changement climatique et à leur atténuation.
