Food for thought from Literature Laureate Wole Soyinka.

[Thomas Eriksson @ThomasJEriksson]

@EBRD applies guarantees to lower risks often by covering first losses, exchange rate volatility and enable local currency lending. This in turn mobilises private sector investments. See joint Int. Financial Institution report on https://t.co/qQQBKb89NB @UNDPLive

[UNDP Live tweeting @UNDPLive]

Investors consider many places around the world to be risky. How can guarantees help mobilize private capital and achieve the #GlobalGoals in "off-the-beaten-path" markets? Follow an insightful discussion at @CSIS, featuring @UNDP's @LFLopezCalva: https://t.co/OdlM66ofHz

Hard to overstate importance of getting central banks, @IMFNews and the entire financial market machinery onboard to tackle climate change.

[Kristalina Georgieva @KGeorgieva]

During my seminar on how central banks can help address #ClimateChange, I underlined that a transition from a high to low carbon economy is a massive challenge. We have to understand climate-related risks, strengthen disclosure standards & come up w/ policy tools to manage them

[Amina J Mohammed @AminaJMohammed]

Empowered women have greater capacity to respond to climate change and play an important role in adopting low-carbon technologies and raising awareness. It’s time we recognize #RuralWomen and girls as agents of #ClimateAction, resilience and sustainability. #GlobalsGoals
