| Summary: | These remarks, as prepared, were delivered by World Bank Group President David Malpass at the Eighth Ministerial Meeting of the Coalition of Finance Ministers for Climate Action, during the Annual Meetings on October 12, 2022. The remarks focus on major challenge of climate change and the global outlook. The World Bank Group (WBG) can help in many ways, and is working closely with the IMF and with other multilateral development banks (MDBs). We are implementing our Climate Change Action Plan with clear, intense, and focused measures to help our client countries fully integrate climate and development. They require diagnostics, impactful projects, WBG resources, and large-scale financing. A principal goal of the action plan is to build financing mechanisms to help the global community support global public goods, such as climate action in developing countries
