Tackling the COVID-19 Pandemic of Inequality to Build a Green, Inclusive, & Resilient Recovery
‘We have to help countries improve their readiness for future pandemics.’
World Bank Group President David Malpass called on the world to move urgently toward opportunities and solutions that achieve a green, resilient, and inclusive recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic in a speech today that advances the World Bank-IMF Spring Meetings.
“Our collective responses to poverty, climate change, and inequality will be the defining choices of our age.”
Mr. Malpass delivered the speech virtually at the London School of Economics; it was followed by a discussion with students, moderated by Baroness Minouche Shafik, Director of the London School of Economics.
From crisis to resilience: World Bank Group Spring Meetings to focus on helping countries build a green and resilient recovery
The lingering pandemic has dealt the global economy an unprecedented shock, and the 
recovery is likely to be slow and uneven. The current crisis is exacerbating inequalities throughout the world and, without access to vaccines, the gap will widen further.
Meanwhile, COVID-19 has made clear the need to establish a better way to handle the debt-financing needs of developing economies. And for a sustainable future, solutions are most urgently needed in developing countries, where the investment gap is deepest, and people are most disproportionately impacted by the climate crisis. So, what will it take to shape a resilient recovery that works for people and the planet?

2015 is a landmark year that will define the global development agenda for the next 15 years.
