It will focus on the perfect storm of interlocking challenges that are putting prosperity out of reach for millions of people around the world.
Topics to be discussed include artificial intelligence, the climate-fragility nexus, IDA, debt, governance and gender, with the launch of a new women parliamentarians initiative.
The first day of the event featured the first parliamentary meeting with World Bank President Ajay Banga, allowing lawmakers to speak directly with him and IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva.
The Forum will conclude with the fifth meeting of the Global Young MPs Initiative, titled “Planting seeds of growth: creating green jobs for young people and the planet.”
Policymakers under 40 will have the opportunity to engage with World Bank leaders, as well as their peers around the world, on the urgent cross-border issue of youth employment in times of climate change.
It will cover the latest findings, innovations and solutions to help prepare future generations for green, high-skilled jobs.
