World Bank Events

The World Bank is fighting for clean air ($20bn proposal to cut emissions). Maybe this is in response to the Independent Evaluation Group saying that their focus has been too narrow, but clean air isn’t the issue. During the 80s and 90s, the World Bank lent with the reciprocation of trade reform without considering wealth distribution or bureaucratic streamlining.

Since 2001, the services of the World Bank has shifted to offering advice and analysis besides loans and grants. The voice of the WB has become public offering debate on the poverty/agriculture/rich nation topics at the Doha round.
