Wolfowitz, Paul2016-08-152016-08-152005-12-20https://hdl.handle.net/10986/24887Paul Wolfowitz, President of the World Bank, shared his thoughts about how the global community can face the double challenge of protecting our environment and strengthening our economies. Brazil is working to turn this double challenge into a double dividend, by meeting energy needs that are essential for growth and fighting poverty, while leaving a smaller environmental footprint. Investing in the environment is investing in the future of the poor. To improve the lives of the poor and to create job opportunities for them, the developing countries need much more energy than they use today. The second and much greater challenge lies in slowing the threat of deforestation. The World Bank Group’s mission is to support economic development and policies that helps the poor. He concluded saying that we can and will continue to work with Brazil to raise global consciousness about our shared responsibility toward our environment.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOLIVING STANDARDSEMPLOYMENTMETHANE FROM LANDFILLSFISHCANEPOWER PLANTSECONOMIC GROWTHENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTIONENVIRONMENTAL DEGRADATIONAMAZON FORESTQUALITY ENERGYGREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONSCARBONINCOMEFOREST CONSERVATIONACTIVITIESGENERATIONCLEAN ENERGYEMISSIONSGASOLINETHERMAL POWER PLANTSATMOSPHEREEMISSION REDUCTIONSMOKEENERGY GENERATIONGASBARRELS PER DAYENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITYETHANOLPRICERAW COALTRANSPORTATION FUELGREENHOUSE GASDEVELOPED COUNTRIESLANDFILLSCO2OILDOUBLE DIVIDENDENERGY SOURCESMONEYFLOODSOPTIONSGLOBAL WARMINGWATERGLACIERSSEA LEVELSDIVIDENDSGAS EMISSIONSNATURAL RESOURCESGROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCTCARBON FINANCEFUELSTHERMAL POWERSUBSIDIESCOASTAL AREASGREENHOUSE GASESCLEAN TECHNOLOGIESCARBON EMISSIONSRESOURCESFUEL WOODENERGY CONSUMPTIONEMISSIONACCESS TO ENERGYGREENHOUSEECOSYSTEMCLIMATE CHANGEDROUGHTENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENTEFFICIENT ENERGY USEBALANCECARBON CREDITSDEMAND FOR ENERGYENERGY NEEDSPOWERELECTRICITYDEFORESTATIONCLIMATEFORESTSHYDROPOWERENVIRONMENTSFORESTFUEL ETHANOLENERGY USEENVIRONMENTGLOBAL ENVIRONMENTGLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGEACCESS TO ELECTRICITYETHANOL PROGRAMECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTETHANOL PLANTTRADELANDSUGARCANEINVESTMENTCOMPARATIVE ADVANTAGECONSERVATIONCOALDIESEL FUELFUELLESSBOTTOM LINEINVESTMENTSRENEWABLE SOURCESMETHANELIVING CONDITIONSCROP RESIDUESRATE OF DEFORESTATIONGLOBAL ENVIRONMENT FACILITYRENEWABLE ENERGYENVIRONMENTALGASESDIESELCLIMATIC VARIABILITYCARBON EMISSIONAPPROACHHYDROELECTRIC POTENTIALPOWER PLANTENERGY INFRASTRUCTUREECONOMIESGREEN ENERGYENERGYENVIRONMENTAL LEGISLATIONPUBLIC GOODSENVIRONMENTAL POLICIESSpeechWorld Bank10.1596/24887
