ABCDE Conference | The Great Incoherence: Growth and Human Development in An Era of Stagnation

Global debates on key development goals are becoming increasingly disconnected. Despite urgent funding needs for climate change, health, and education, financial sources are unclear amid economic downturns and rising debt. The Annual Bank Conference on Development Economics (ABCDE) focuses on "The Great Incoherence: Growth and Human Development in an Era of Stagnation" and will explore: How to boost climate finance without sidelining other development priorities?; how to tackle the global debt crisis while fostering economic growth?; what is the impact of changing industrial policies on the Global South's growth?; and what are the ways to attract private capital to address these and other issues? Join us live on July 9th to watch the opening session with Ajay Banga, Lawrence Summers, Indermit Gill, Rachel Glennerster, and Danny Quah.
