Don't Reorganize the (Whole) World Bank to Fight Climate Change | Center For Global Development
As new president Ajay Banga settles in to his position atop of the World Bank, his thoughts will be on institutional reform. Not least, the mandate he has been given to “evolve” the Bank to take on the mission of climate change. How do you redeploy 19,000 staff members in a new structure to get results for both climate and development? My plea to him: don’t. Or, more precisely: add a new bit to the institution to focus on climate mitigation, redeploy some staff to run it, but leave the bulk of people where they are. It will get more results, faster.
