Important work by @yloxford capturing the long-term impacts of climate extremes on human development. Insights shared at #COP29 are vital for shaping policies that support communities most affected. Excited to see their new Climate Change Research Hub driving this forward. 🌍
Earlier today, YL Deputy Director Kath Ford spoke at #COP29. Drawing from 20+ yrs of longitudinal data across 4 countries in the Global South, Kath shared YL’s unique insights into the long-term & intergenerational impacts of extreme weather events on human development. 🧵 1/2

Exciting news from #WBGMeetings! Delighted to increase our support to the World Bank to generate critical evidence on what works to promote women's economic empowerment
From diplomacy to development, this government is putting women and girls at the heart of all we do. That includes supporting programmes that boost women’s economic empowerment and grow our economy. I’ve been driving this forward at the World Bank this week 👇
