Pleasure meeting Minister of Economy @MikayilJabbarov to discuss the collaboration between Azerbaijan 🇦🇿 and @WorldBankECA cooperation on modernizing irrigation, agriculture and water supply and sanitation, all key to strengthening resilience and adaptation to climate change
Together with Sameh Naguib Wahba (@SamehNWahba), the Regional Director for Sustainable Development in Europe and Central Asia at the @WorldBank (WB), and our colleagues, we explored several key issues on the #Azerbaijan – WB cooperation agenda, including: – Joint initiatives for…
A pleasure meeting @COP29_AZ President Minister Babayev to discuss @WorldBankECA support to Azerbaijan to showcase their climate adaptation adaptation re water conservation and use efficiency and scaling up climate smart agriculture, and their plans to scale up renewable energy
A pleasure meeting @COP29_AZ UN High level champion @ArpadaraiNigar to discuss the critical need for climate action on the mitigation and adaptation fronts and the importance of engaging non-state actors including private sector and communities, and how @WorldBankECA can help
Culture plays a critical role in post-conflict reconstruction and recovery, to achieve reconciliation and restore social cohesion. @WorldBank and @UNESCO developed the CURE framework based on case studies including Mostar, Mosul, Timbuktu. documents1.worldbank.org/curated/en/708…
It has been two decades since Mostar's iconic Old Bridge was reconstructed with support from @WBG_IDA What lessons can this unique symbol of reconciliation offer for dealing with fragility and conflict today? Learn more here: wrld.bg/grA350SJpqy
In Uzbekistan 🇺🇿, to date 426,000 people, mostly women & children, benefited from rural infrastructure & public facilities that they selected through @WorldBankECA and @AIIB_Official financed rural infrastructure development project (RIDP). worldbank.org/en/news/featur… via @WorldBank
The Sava River flood in 2014 wiped out 15% of Bosnia and Herzegovina's GDP. Climate action can help the #WesternBalkans cushion the impact of such hazards. The @WorldBank Group's new CCDR report lays out policies to boost the region's climate resilience: wrld.bg/IRtr50SF822
Rising temperatures and drought are disrupting livelihoods across the #WesternBalkans, like Boro's, a fisherman in Serbia. Inaction on #ClimateChange is not an option. Read the new @WorldBank Group CCDR on how the region can boost the green transition: wrld.bg/3E0250SEaLt
Our new @WorldBankECA project for flood and drought management in Turkiye aims to reduce losses to life, property, infrastructure and economic activities, and to strengthen resilience against climate change.
Floods and drought threaten millions of hectares of land across #Türkiye, potentially causing billions in damage and impacting millions of people. Learn how the @WorldBank is helping the country to strengthen risk management against such disasters: wrld.bg/aT4u50SrmIp
Too much water (floods), too little water (droughts), too polluted water (not just lack of wastewater treatment but also increased salinity) are all exacerbated due to the impacts of climate change. @WorldBank has made #water a global challenge programs to scale up impact
Devastating droughts in some parts of the world. Terrible floods in others. More than ever, water is our most precious resource. From #SIWW2024, glad to talk to @ChannelNewsAsia about how to turn around the water crisis with innovation, research, and investment.
Two main messages from @worldbank: (1) the access gap is widening so we need to invest in water, sanitation, irrigation & flood protection; (2) the financing gap is such that public funds won't be enough; we need the private sector.
In #Dushanbe w @SarojJha001 & our @WorldBankECA & @WorldBankWater teams representing @WorldBank in the 3rd high level conference: Intl Decade for Action, Water for Sustainable Development. Opening remarks by 🇹🇯 President Rahmon on the importance of preserving water & glaciers

Congratulations Anaclaudia. An inspired choice to lead @UNHABITAT Looking forward to continuing our collaboration following many years of partnership at @WBG_Cities and @CitiesAlliance
Anacláudia Marinheiro Centeno Rossbach from Brazil has been appointed as the new Executive Director of UN-Habitat! With a strong background in housing, urban development and inclusion, she is set to lead us towards a brighter urban future. loom.ly/5wozd68
A pleasure representing @WorldBank in the Dushanbe Women & Water forum. I spoke about women's lack of access to jobs in the water sector. Less than 20% of workers are women; 32% of utilities have no female engineers or managers. We need to do better for more inclusive development
At @WorldBankECA we are committed to support Ukraine 🇺🇦 to strengthen its housing market to tackle supply side challenges and scale up construction of new units and repairs of existing stock, while also accelerating access to housing finance.
At a time when millions of Ukrainians have lost or had their homes damaged, it is essential to rebuild and reform Ukraine's housing sector. Important new partnership agreement signed today by @Denys_Shmyhal & the @WorldBank Group on how to find new housing finance solutions.
Read our new blog with @meghamukim and Christoph Pusch how on green and resilient cities can be a foundation for urban transformation and regeneration
Cities are where economic development really happens. This is also the case in the Western Balkans, but many cities there are small, sparsely populated, and shrinking. So how can greening cities be an opportunity amid the stresses? Read our new blog: wrld.bg/15z650Sb5CN
