Very happy to see this out and privileged to have authored a chapter on @WorldBank. I wrote this before joining @ADB_HQ, and I’m happy to report that my views have not been radically altered since shifting from MDB outsider to insider.

Important step forward in addressing flooding risks in Samoa. Past floods have cost the country 1/4 of its GDP, with the risk of bigger/more frequent impacts in the future. This project promises to greatly mitigate those risks in the country's economic and population center.

My message at the IPEF Clean Energy Investors Forum: we won’t accelerate and scale climate tech without better policy environments. Subsidizing private investors can’t be the only strategy. That’s why @ADB_HQ invests so much in policy-based lending.

Fortunate to meet Cambodia's Mines and Energy Minister Keo Rottanak on the sidelines of #ACEF2024. Cambodia has made remarkable progress on energy access and is committed to a renewables-driven energy mix as demand for power grows in line with strong economic growth. 1/
