The second @WorldBank’s #CCDR summary report is out, covering 42 economies.

We face a triple development, climate, and nature crisis. Beyond grim headlines, there are clear opportunities to achieve development and climate double wins. #LivablePlanet

Financial inclusion must be part of the climate agenda! Inclusive finance is an enabler of autonomous adaptation and needs more attention and financing. Conversely, climate change undermines progress on financial inclusion. Read @CGAP's report: https://t.co/r292jlcQTE

Developing countries need up to $387bn a year to adapt to extreme weather, says UN https://t.co/QePrk7YYoD

Children account for 2 out of every 5 civilian deaths in Gaza, surpassing the total number killed across all the world’s conflict zones in any year since 2019, said Save the Children. Families are mourning what feels like the loss of an entire generation. https://t.co/Fh8ofosViS

[Nicholas Kristof @NickKristof]

One gauge of the civilian toll in Gaza so far: At least 72 United Nations staffers have been killed in Gaza so far, the UN says. Whatever that is, it's not surgical.

Historically, much of the gender gap in earnings could be explained by differences in education and occupational choices. However, this year’s economic sciences laureate Claudia Goldin has shown that the bulk of this earnings difference is now between men and women in the same occupation, and that it largely arises with the birth of the first child.
